Recon Extreme Light Bar

[RyanbabZ71]

Here are some photos of it installed and before it was all hooked up. More pics of them lit up to come. Pretty easy to install. I am going to do a write up for anyone interested.

I'll probably do one of them (some brand) sooner or later, so you can be the test rat on this one. Good luck.

1st pic is with the truck running, it acts like the taillights and stays red

 

2nd pic is with truck off white lights like the reverse lights

 

This also does a blinking amber turn signal and white when you are in reverse. With the emergency lights they blink red.

At first I didn't quite understand what this was then when I see it light up I have see quite a few guys in my area with it.

 

Just wondering what made you decide to go with this?

Not really a fan of the light bars, but that one appears to be decent quality.

just something different, add a little more visibility especially with as much as people dont pay attention nowadays

I agree. With the number of distractions that drivers have in today's world, anything that helps get their attention to the fact that you are slowing/stopping helps. Plus it puts a whole row of red led's at or near eye level of the other drivers. I installed an Anzo light bar on mine. Similar to the Recon, but has red turn signals instead of the yellow.

That's pretty cool. It never occurred to me to install one of these but I saw an Avalanche the other day with one and I have to admit it looked pretty cool. Damn new ideas.

Its never ending haha

Keeps the economy rolling I suppose.

Ryan, did you hard-wire it in or use an adapter?

[RyanbabZ71]

Both

 

I used the Curt adapter to add a 4 pin adapter (see attached photos) and I hardwired the power (red wire) and reverse lights (white wire)

[GPGuy]

How much did this run you if you don't mind my asking?

[RyanbabZ71]

$109 for the light bar and $24 for the adapter from realtruck.com
