[94yj]

anyone have these lights and what is your opinion on them also do you have to buy the wiring kit or can you just work around it?

that is not good what kind of a warranty do they have and have you tried to get them replaced?

Years ago I had a RECON tailgate bar that got condensation inside which made a few LEDs fail. I emailed a complaint with a photo. They sent me out a replacement (newer model) without a squawk. I could not complain about that type of customer service.

You can get the factory lights and install them.

true but i would have to have the tool to do a 3/4" square hole which i don't have  and the punch numbers are hard to find

That answers my question about switching from recon to OEM.

I wonder if the holes lined up the same?

I installed the factory ones on my 15 I used a Dremel to cut the 4 holes. Biggest thing is measure measure measure lol. Dremel cut through like butter.

As long as the holes you drilled line up with the 4 square holes on the oem ones. There is only 4 square holes that you tighten from inside the truck. Small gasket around each square hole that’s it.
