2015 gmc sierra recon headlights INSTALLED!


Recommended Posts

Ok so I've been debating on headloghts for my 2015 gmc sierra z71 for a while now. I liked the recon lights for a while but after reading ALOT of bad reviews I was hesitant. I was going for the blacked out look and I did not care for the anzo's so I took a chance, pulled the trigger and bout the recon's. Got them in today and I LOVE EM! You have to be very patient to install them but for the most part it wasn't all that difficult. The two worst parts are gonna be getting the plastic painted trim piece along the bumper out without feeling like your gonna completely destroy it and the worst part is going to be aiming the lights but hopefully this thread will help someone if they is tall these lights. Low beam projectors are simple to adjust but the high beams are tricky, due to the limited space I found that a 8mm ratcheting wrench and a long skinny pair of needle nose pliers will get u back there without having to tear the entire front end back down to adjust the high beams. All in all freaking awesome lights!

 

PRO'S

*the projectors in them with my morimoto HID'S are twice as brights as my factory lights were and a much better pattern and no dark spots, (one thing I worried about after reading all the reviews on there headlights.

*fitment is perfect, fit just like factory with no gaps on the seams.

 

*when brights are on the projector and reflector lights burn together, and these sicker are the brightest lights I've ever had when on high beams.

* great quality and we'll built.

 

 

CONS

*bottom row of leds are bright but the oled bar doesn't even look like it's on during the day. (Looks cool at night tho).

*adjusting them can be a bit of a b*%&h.

*removing the front painted bumper trim.

 

All in all I am very satisfied with them. Very bright and look great.

 

*recon smoked headlights with morimoto 5500k/35 watt ballst, Phillips nights breaker high beams,diode dynamics led switchbacks. post-154773-0-62549500-1456633075_thumb.jpg

I have been looking at these lights too. Is your truck and SLE or SLT ,wondering about the daytime running lights ? can you explain the daytime light work , do they run the leds only or the low beams ? thanks

Mine is the SLE...you just splice the LED'S into the park light power...and it is the white wire, not the yellow like recon will tell you

Spyder Auto makes these same lights. They have a version for the SLE and a version for the SLT/Denali. They both function the exact same but offer plug n play solutions for the different initial setups.

 

I have them and am very happy with them. Yours look great also.
