After 6+ years of faithful service my spyder or other knockoff brand led tail lights have soiled themselves. I don't hate the look of them but I do prefer a smoked lens instead of the clear lens with the smoked led panel. Could you guys post op pictures of tail lights and links to where you got them?? I would love to find a dark smoked oem looking tail light with leds in it but I'm having no luck.

Steve, ya little diesel slut...
Get the Recon's...you likey long time!

I got the smoked dark red or smoked deep cherry red Recon LED tails and the look is perfect! I know I've got pic or two round here somewhere, they really made a nice visual difference either day or night! These lights are INSANELY BRIGHT at night too!

This is one product I don't mind paying name brand prices on cuz there is so much garbage out there...the recons are 1/2 the price of what they used to be too, bonus, but they're still not cheap :(

How picky are cops around there? They might hassle you about smoking a stock lens. Hell a cop tried to give me chit about my Recons till I showed him the dot# on them :D

I night shaded everything on my truck and it faded off, the vinyl sounds like it holds up well, u clean it stick it on trim it up and hit it with a heat gun and your done. And they have different shades

I never even thought about vinyl. I just ordered a sheet and will post pics. Going to see how they look wrapped.

Both of my license plates have tinted covers, head lights, markers and tails have always been smoked. Knock on wood no issues.
