My advice: (I did this) Buy the one you like, reuse your factory foam gasket and seal the edges of the lens with a water proof sealant. I used a marine grade version for mine. No issues in the few weeks I've have mine on so far *fingers crossed*

I bought mine directly from 'Recon' themselves. There are a lot of knock-offs on Ebay. The quality of the light direct from the mfg was evident and it fit perfectly. It's been in for two years now without any issues.

i've ordered "recon knockoffs" for friends back when i still had my recon and i kicked myself in the *** each and every time because there was absolutely no difference in the two.

I've had two 'Recon' products from various suppliers and both times the fit of the item itself was off. Recon sells it's reject items to the other venders at a huge discount, so their customer gets a 'deal'. All I am saying is, watch carefully what you buy, usually if it comes from the vender themselves, it's usually first quality..that's all I'm trying to say here. Recon manufactures their own products.
