thats the big rig recon light kit , i have that on order . orange running lite , but when you open the doors they shine white so you see the step bars . good mod

How much was the recon kit? Seems like most stuff labeled recon is more $$$

The running light ones I think would only look good on the dualys like pictured do to they already have the side marker lights on the fenders. Where would you mount yours if you got it? With you being so good at photoshop i would suggest chopping a pic and seeing what it would look like.

I was thinking the same thing though so I'm having mixed thoughts.

Im kinda digging the running lights where did you find em?

Sport Truck Direct - Recon LED Third (3rd) Brake Lights - Clear Cab Roof Lights - LED Tailgate Bars

just scroll down.

I do like that idea of them lighting up white when you open the doors. RH make sure you post up allot of pic's when you get them installed.

I got one, and it was a plug and play, very easy to install. Mine has a reverse light and I didnt have to do anything but plug it in and it works fine. Guess it depends on what you get.

I like the thought of not having to do any splicing.

I had a similar one on my first truck, the turn sigs and brakes work off the trailer harness, but the reverse needs to tap in at the tail light plug

Yeah same as mine, just take your time on the install, not too hard, and you'll love them when you get them installed! I can reverse much clearer now!

Thanks for the tip--I'll have to get Amber to help me with the install. I'll shoot some video after I get it installed. Looks like I'll have it by the 16th.

I ordered the 60--that should be the right length right?
