Hate to be the only only guy that's not bashing Recon, but mine was fine. Smoked, BTW. My old factory bulbs had burned up the sockets. So far so good on the Recon LEDs.

+1 on the clips, though; I had to cut both of them off with a chisel. I'm sure that the bed lights are dimmer than factory but others disagree. Looks like yours had/had a bad connection somewhere in the circuit.

 

Yeah I'm thinking there was a bad solder job on the driver side. But the new one works good. Only bad thing about the new set was the fact that the gasket was completely missing. I'm just hoping that the rubber gasket from Lowes holds up to the rain/car washing. I even went so far as to put little rubber washers on the screws when I put it back together. Good to hear that some people are having good luck with their Recon lights.
