Yup no mods required except for load resistors on the turn signals and rear tails.

good luck man and I want to see some pics of the finished product!
Will do. I bought all of my other LEDs so far from V-LED and am very pleased. The pure white looks great in the cab!

I also had Brian at Sick HIDs do a custom retrofit for my headlights, which I absolutely love! He does great work.

Cool man! How do you like your retros? I also heard Brian does great work too, how long did you have to wait? Any pics of your rig?

I love them! Brian did a fantastic job! The only drawback is that you have to be willing to be patient and wait a while for them. The entire process took about six months to complete, but they are definitely worth the wait. I wasn't in any hurry to get them, although I was getting anxious after about five months. I'll try to take some pictures of the headlights and my truck soon.

On a related note, do you retrofit the fogs for other folks (or perhaps just for your truck)? If so, how are those holding up and how do you like them on foggy nights? I've thought about getting this done to mine but haven't yet. I think I want to get a tune, intake and perhaps exhaust for my truck before I do any more exterior lighting mods.

Did all of mine in Bright White - Interior, License Plate, Fogs (to match HID heads without HID hassle), front marker bulbs/turn signals (in amber not white), back up bulbs, B-Light bed lights under tonneau, and Recon LED Tails/3rd Brake.

I wouldn't change it back for anything, I prefer the color difference to halogens any day of the week and they seem to be much brighter. Also, you can't beat the lifespan of LEDs compared to any other type of bulbs.

I bought the pair off eBay that are Philips lumileds. I love them. Super bright look good. I sealed the edge of them w clear silicone based off all the comments from everybody buying led tails and getting water in them.

Yeah be careful with any LED tails I agree with this, I've even heard a few guys saying that they've had this happen to Recons too... I know from experience that the lower end models can have water/moisture issues but so far no problems with the Recons. I will probably seal them anyway though just to be safe!
