Recon Questions

Okay, so I've been sitting here looking at pictures of awesome trucks for a couple of hours now, and I can say I'm definitely doing this to my badges:

https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...92515-done.jpg

Anyway, I have recently purchased a beautiful white 2014 FX4 screw and was all set to order some recon products (third brake light and led tails) when it hit me: which version looks best on a white truck?

The third brake light comes in two versions, smoked and clear. For my shadow grey Ranger the decision was easy - 100% smoked. I'm wondering, though, would I be better off with clear for a white truck?

Also, the LED tails come SMOKED and RED SMOKED; again, which would look better on a white truck?
http://www.gorecon.com/products.php?...ED-Tail-Lights

For the record my initial inclination was smoked, but now I'm not so sure. After hours of looking at awesome modified trucks, I can only say that not many guys choose white....

Either 'smoke' yer own (with visibility & safety in mind), or leave it alone.

RECON. MAKES. ABSOLUTE. JUNK.

You have been warned....

Whew! I guess now I can put my wallet away and use my hard earned cash for something better, say maybe new rubber or bushwhacker flares or DIY LED bed lighting or window tinting or Krown rustproofing or grab lock t-track or....

Thanks for steering me straight guys!

They have the same quality as the stuff you buy from China, but they price it so high that you think they are good quality. Reverse psychology at its finest.
