That isn't the exact product I got but yes that is one of the many available. I was given a sale price of $78 shipped for the Recon and I think it retails for $110 which is double the price of others. I'm completely satisfied with my purcharse but go for the Spyder! I don't see any reason there should be that big of a price difference.

Everywhere I look, states not compatible with 2016+ Ram 1500s. Even searching Spyder's website shows nothing. Did Dodge change something all of a sudden with the 16s? Looks same to me. But nothing out there of quality name brands show 16 and up

Hhmm how strange. I looked a little myself quick and yea it seems like every non ebay or amazon listing says 09-15. Honestly not sure if or what the difference is for 16+. The Recon one I got does say 09-17 though.

I've seen a lot of guys mentioning this seller on Ebay and their experience with buying their tail lights. Should be able to find some info if you search on the forum. Much cheaper than the Recon and specifies 09-17.

That's the same one I bought, got mine from speed_daddy for $35. They're all the same, just different resellers.

never use silicone against paint! Over time it will rust...silicone eats through the paint..



Recon recommends the use of RTV for their third brake light. It's either on the instructions or on their YouTube install video I can't remember which one. I saw the recommendation after I installed mine of course!

Man we have had nothing but bad weather lately. Crazy storm last night, lost power for roughly 4.5 hours. Fiance followed me to work this morning for a Dr's appointment and she knew that I'd been trying hard to take decent pics of the light so she was awesome and snapped a pic for me at a stop light! The cargo lights are the same just white.
