Default Recon third brake light

In case anyone looking for an LED third brake light hasn't found anything Recon just put them on their site. They have clear or smoked. $100

Do you have one ? If so, any problems with dash lights with the different resistance ? Got some pics ?

BTW, nice 'Priller.

No I don't have one. I replaced the cargo lights with LEDs a few months ago when there weren't any third brake lights available. I also don't know if I want to spend $100 on one. That's money towards my exhaust.

Did you install a resistor with your LED's ? Any dash light issues with the LED's ?

No dash light issues but I only did the cargo lights. It shouldn't matter with the brake light though because the brake light comes on when you step on the brake not when the dash lights come on. I could be wrong but as far as I know the only time you need resistors is when you switch to LED turn signals because they use less power so they blink faster.

Thanks. I thought I had read somewhere that with the LED's that the computer would think that a brake light was burned out and it would throw an alarm.
