Smoked clearance lights

[Sdreeser]

How are the lights doing? I looked at them on Amazon the reviews are not the best with 26% 3 and below stars. A lot of negative about the connectors to the wire harness and light not mounting flush.

I did see your's mounts flush so that part, might be different model years

Thanks

They are not the best. They fit flush because I use the rubber seat pads from factory lights. I have 2 that are flickering right now after only having them about 5 or so months. I'm about fed up with these clearance lights wish my truck never came with them!!!! They either get moisture in them or they flicker out in a few months.

Thank you for the update, think I will pass on them. I do like having them I might try some LED bulbs in my, not sure if they come with LED's or standard bulbs from the factory.

They are standard bulbs from factory so led might look better. My factory lenses kept getting moisture in them that is why I switched them out and I liked the smoke lenses better

I love my LED clearance lights. Smoked lens as well. The ugly white warts up top killed me.

I got the cheap Partsam ones from Amazon. The reviews for the Recons at three times the price were the same, so I figured why waste the money? I reused the rubber gasket from the factory lights, with black RTV between the gasket and metal of the cab, RTV between the gasket and the light housing, and dipped the screws in RTV to seal the threads.

Thank you, I had my lights chance out when I first got my truck (warranty) because of moisture, it's been over a year now and they are staying dry the last time I check.

They are partsam on Amazon. About $30. Not the greatest but they are good price. I bought the recon lights also and they flicker out after time as well. I have no luck with these clearance lights

Yeah I had my factory ones replaced twice under warranty and they still were getting moisture in them is why I tried different ones. Idk I just have no luck with these lights

Finally got them installed. Since I had the headliner down a little, I also installed my dash cam.

Looks great on a dark truck. Nice job. What kind of dash cam are you using?
