Need Opinions on Recon Lights on my front bumper

So I want to put some kind of lights in the front bumper... I saw these recon lights that i thought that would work but they are sold as a pair and i really think three of these lights would look good... Just asking for opinion

I like those alot, I think they would work excellent on your truck.

Ship me a picture of how it looks right now and I can photoshop them on and you can decide.

Those do look nice- but again, Recon likes to import chinese crap and overprice it. For about the same price, you could get some Hella LEDaylines or Philips Luxeons that have twice the power and a higher life.

Yes they are designed as a high output (600-800lm per housing) DRL only.

Like I said, these are not chinese LEDs that most doubtedly Recon uses, but Hella, Philips, and Osram are my favorite and perhaps the best LEDs out there right now.

Hella LEDayline



Philips Luxeon

Osram Ostars



All three are the same price range as the Recons, but have a higher life and higher lumen output.

Would it look bad if you bought 2 kits and put 3 lights in the opening? you would have 1 extra light...
