Recon clearance lights

[Kennywould]

I recently purchased and installed the Recon clear cab lights, really like the look and was getting tired of the leaking stock lights! Well I had one of the Recons start taking water and after taking it off and checking it closely, the rear part of the lense was not fully glued to the base. I reglued it and haven't seen any water since. Anyone else run into this problem?

I had three of the five stock lights taking water in, they were cracked, I will be taking them over to the dealer and see if they will replace them, I'll keep them for my work truck just in case!!!!

Just make sure you check them out before you do the install...

Silicone under the lenses is the cure ... . and also ditch the factory screws they will completely rust up in about 30 seconds ..... I still need to put the stainless in mine

Even though they all leak, would you still buy them again? I dont think leaking can be good for interiors... :-laf

They dont leak into the interiors the lens leaks into the base ... ... no water has entered the cab's



They just look abit foggy when it warms up after a rain ... the bulbs dont blow somehow

I guess a little silicone would keep the fog out

AHHHHH... LEAKY RECON LIGHTS. Pull the screws,go to stainless WITH SMALL RUBBER "O" RINGS. Let truck sit in sun with screws OUT of leaky / foggy lights they WILL dry. Reinstall rest of stainless screws. NOTE: BE SURE TO HOOK GROUND WIRES TO SCREWS #@$%!
