Recon Cab Lights

[GWBourne]

ok, so i have had the smoke lenses on the cab clearance lights for less than a year (11 months) today i left the truck running as i went into the store. on my way ought i figured since it was dark out i would check all of my lights. first thing i see is my drivers side outter cab light is "burnt out"



not a big deal, ill buy a new bulb and replace it. just now i wanted to verify it was the bulb. nope. the bulb works fine. so does the socket it is in if you wiggle it just the right way. not a big deal, when i have more time i can fix the socket with some tricks.



the thing i cant fix is the fact EVERY light cover is cracked. i tightened them down as follows.



place cover on roof.



insert screw and turn.



once screw head has contacted light stop turning





i dont feel i over tightened them as i was VERY cautious of this.



what the main problem is i can not find any contact info for this company... does anyone have any insite?



thanks

Grant

Mine are all cracked as well, seems like they used to brittle of a plastic. The sockets suck too.

Hope you dont mind a 2nd genner here but... . I have them and have had the same issues. Then they start to leak. I ended up getting rid of the screws they supplied (as the were rusted in 2 months) went and got stainless steel ones and used the smallest possible "O" rings I could get. ( I believe they are 1/8") I ran the "O" ring all the way up to the head. Also, BE SURE the ground wire is on the screw before tightening it down.

Im not saying this is a cure, Im just saying "so far,so good"

ours dont use the sheet metal of the body for the ground. they are wired into the harness on both ends...



thanks for your input though. like i said, i sent them an e-mail and will keep an update going.
