Bright LED tail lights NNBS

PDL07Z71 · July 17, 2013

I have an 07 nnbs silverado and I put some smoked LED tail lights on it that I got off of eBay. Not sure of the brand... At night they look good, but in daytime or direct sunlight you can barely see them lit up. I thought that would be the case for most aftermarket LEDs, I passed a similar truck in traffic a couple days ago with some smoked LEDs that were incredibly bright, so now I'm searching again. I am looking for something like these recon smoked red lights: http://www.gorecon.com/product.php?pk=181&pname=Part-264175RBK-RED-SMOKED-LED-Tail-Lights-07-13-Chevy-Silverado-GMC-Sierra-Dually&p_cat=44

Does anyone have these lights or similar lights with some pics of then lit up in daylight? I wish I could find some that were like escalade LED bright.

Aren't those the same thing as they sell on ebay?

They sell knock-off's on eBay.

Here are my Recon's in the daylight

Those are definitely brighter than mine in daylight... I may have to suck it up and buy some recon's. thanks for the reply!

Well this is totally new to me, I always figured that recon = ebay.

Nope, Recon is the name brand eBay has the knock offs. I did all 3 rear lights by Recon

Will look odd with the third brake light not matching

Thanks chawkins, that's actually a decent price for those! I may have to go for it. Dim taillights aren't exactly safe.

Check out the warranty on Recon products before you buy! Have a 6 month old Line of Fire that has LEDs out and some are brighter than others. This is their new 3mm LED technology they claim results in longer lasting, brighter LEDs, but only with a 90 day warranty!

I have had mine since August 2011 and all work great

My old Line of Fire was 6 1/2 years old, was on two Silverados and an Avalanche and still worked on one side after a rear end accident ( poor little Toyota looked like it got hit with an electric can opener!). It was the old LED technology, the plastic case was thicker and just seemed better built. New one is thinner plastic, and after 6 months, some of the LEDS are brighter, like the brakes are applied, while the rest are normal except the ones burnt out. The problem with LEDs are once they are out they are done, can't replace them easily. And I certainly would expect more from a Line of Fire which is in a highly protected area.
