Default 2011 LED tails

I am possibly going to get some LED tail lights for my 11 Lariat. Searching the internet is giving many choices. I was wondering if anyone had any insight to which ones would be the best ones to install. I like the darker ones ( I have the Tuxedo Black) but I also have the chrome package and I'm not sure which would look best. Any help would be appreciated!!

Jason did you have any problem mounting you tailgate bar where the bump is on the passenger side?

The bump is about 6" in from the right. I didn't notice it before I installed my light bar, so I had to double up on some of the sticky tape and then grind down the upper lip of the light bar so my tailgate didn't scrape it.

the recon lights are beautiful but they cost like six arms and eight leg's, LOL.
I Mean, think about it. I Can get china headlights direct for a fraction of the cost of recon's. im sure the quality of recon's is superior, but is it really worth ~4x the price? May as well get OEM Heads & Tails with black trim instead of chrome ones.. sell your chromes for a few bucks or just save them, and get new oems for a few hundred bucks rather than whatever the recon setup would cost. (I probably have a similar truck to yours.. 2011 Tuxedo black F150 Screw Lariat with chrome bumpers).

No, no issues at all everything mounted nicely and wired up extremely nice as well.

And for anyone that has ever told me that they look corny and it's ugly or anything else along those lines I always had the same couple comments for them of, "don't buy them for yours" and my favorite is "I didn't have your opinion in mind when I bought them"

Yeah- I pretty much narrowed it down to Recon tail lights - just wanted some opinions because there are so many choices. I just ordered a Recon tailgate light bar on ebay- is the extreme model on which the turn signals move in motion from center to end. I think that the tails should complement. Question is should I get the darker/smoked ones or the clear. My chrome package is making it a tough choice. I like the look of the smoked with the Tuxedo Black- but I am wondering if the clear would look better in person.
