In for ideas. I love the look of the clear Recon I put on my silver truck, but it leaks like a screen door on a submarine.

well I ordered the smoked recon, I figure if I put black rtv gasket maker around on the gasket and then clear rtv sealant around the housing it should be good I hope what do you guys think.

I bought a recon a putco and a icpw and all of them leak even with extra silicone around them. I ended up smoking the originals and no more leaks.

I don't know about the 3rd brake lights price from Recon but their price on projector headlamps is sky high compared to Spyder and others. Talking with them over the phone they talk like their product is top shelf and anything else is crap

Add LED's to your stock one. No aftermarket stuff fits worth a ****, has less quality then OEM.
