Assuming those are covers with 3m tape? Personally, it's too much for what I want with my truck, however it fits yours well man. Sharp truck

I'm from the old big fins and lots of chrome days. The mirror covers and rockers are all I'm putting on. Next step is to lower and wheels

Got them and installed today, that was a bit of a pain in the **** but looks much better than the stick on ones I had.

It was a bit of a pain. More so getting them to fit perfectly. However, once on they look factory and better than covers, IMO. For the price you can't beat it either. Glad you like them man

Had to remove them, again, to get the Recon turn signals installed. Just as big of a pain but totally worth it. Looks a lot cleaner

I wish painted ones were somewhere close to that.

It's like almost $200 on eBay for a pair if I remember. :-/

Found them on Recon's website for $109, ebay seller has them $2 cheaper. I could see this as a $20 each side mod, current cost to me is ludicrous.

I'll pass on this one.

Many people take the orange reflector out, dremmel part of the back of the housing and buy waterproof leds for roughly $20, then you can smoke the reflector if you wish. Many people do it on the cheap with excellent results. Hell, if you want, PM me your address and I'll send you my orange reflectors so you can screw up a pair I'll ship them Monday, on the house.

I got my Recon set for $90, new. Someone was selling theirs for $75 on this site. And yes, splice into the other led turns in the mirror housing
