Here's a close up, hard to see the lights during the day but at night you'd never know they were tinted

The smoked lights look really good. :thumb:
Here's a picture of how I did mine on the last pickup. I know it looks like alot but in person they looked great and even better at night time; they didnt' give me any trouble except for all the time I spent measuring them to get them centered/located just right, haha
Either pacer performance or putco will make you happy. What I liked out them is that the base is all foam except where the wire and screws are.
Sorry for all the posts; I spent alot of time getting all the information I needed before I installed them myself so I'm hoping this will help others.

Found these two kits, wonder if theyd be any better then the recon ones or comparable to the putco ones? I want the smoked lense and really dont wanna have to tint shade the lights before i put them on. what you guys think?

The recons I put on my lml are foam on the bottom and I put alot of silicone on them no leaks yet
I stand corrected. I assumed the recons leaked b/c they don't have dense foam covering the bottom like the Putco's do. I didn't use any silicone when I installed my Putco lights and I had them on for 2 years before I sold the pickup without any problems.
I want to put new smoked LED cab lights on my dually but with all the problems people are having I'm apprehensive, but being I've got the factory ones I wonder if mine will seal bettering being I can screw them down tighter? Just thinking out loud.

Ive always said i dont know why anyone would ever drill holes in a perfectly good roof.
Ken i say if you already have the holes just try that other brand and see if they seal i sure wouldnt weld in patch pieces and paint it,way expensive buddy.Good luck buddy.

well welding patches and painting the roof would be alot cheaper then the water frying out the entire electrical system. And i never understood why some people own trucks and they spend more time hanging out in the drive or the garage?? :roflmao: Jk buddy
