Thought I'd add a couple cents. I've recently learned it's wise to weather proof or silicone the rubber the keep the harsh rains out. Came back to my truck to find water on my dash and a brand new touchscreen pioneer no longer working. The smoked LED cablights look great, but annoying that $100 lights cost me an expensive deck.

Hated mine. Silicones the base to the cab and the screw holes and still kept getting water in the truck after a hard rain.

And my bulbs just twisted out like a standard bulb.

When I installed mine, I cut off Recon's junky connectors and used some better parts

I also used some marine grade clear silicon when they were installed

No leaking issues and the lights are work great
