O wait here we go. Just can't set how these two taillights are the same. But if they are I dontwant them.







These do look like the black led's on the site though.

Lets make sure we are on the same page:
Top pic in your post are the smoked ones (not on a truck... this is the pic people say is misleading so look at my previous pics).
Bottom pic in your post are the black ones (on the black truck).

Haha... never and easy choice

Copied the wrong img, I meant the smoked one you had. I edited the post.




I have seen these advertised elsewhere and they did look like they do on the truck.

The images on ebay are VERY misleading i bought my taillights from that same seller thinking they were gonna be dark and tinted looking and they ended up being greyish with chrome still like em more than the stock ones.

Do the LEDs cause your signals to flash faster? How is their visibility at night and during the day?

Where did you find the headlights?

I will have them on my truck early next week. I think they get delivered tuesday.

Well I found them on Recon's website (gorecon.com) first and liked them.So i always research prices. Found that Recon wants like $100+ more than you can find them for on eBay. So search something like "2010 F150 led Headlights" on there and you will find em. I ordered the package WITH the 6000k HIDs included for like $320.

I also found the smoked version (recon didnt have the smoked). The "smoked" are like $30 more than the chrome or the black for some dumb reason. I ordered smoked in hopes of matching the darker Platinum grill as i mentioned b4. Im hoping they dont look too "ricer" with the halos AND LED marker lights or I will be selling them lol.

They come with two LARGE resistors per tailight that eliminate hyperflash since the 2009-10 trucks dont have flasher relays to replace.

These lights are VERY bright. LOL, everyone comments on them (hand up like the sun is in their eyes) when they see em at night. My brother has Recon's LED tailights on his 2004 and during the day, there's not much difference between his tailight brightness and the bightness when the brakes were pressed.

These, however, are blinding. They have 32 rear facing and 7side facing LEDs. I dont have any night picks but here are some daytime tailight (brakes NOT applied) pics.

So they just plug right in? No hard wiring?

Correct, plug and play. There is room to attach the two large resistor inside the taillight cavity.

However, none of these ebay lights seem to come with instructions though. They even in say it in the ebay ad that they dont have instruction. I don get it. Anway, w/o instructions, I was briefly thrown off by where the lights plugged in to the truck. Follow my logic: You have a stock wiring harness... that plugs in to a stock bulb socket... with a bulb in that socket. You'd assume these tailights plug directly in to the stock wiring harness. NO! They plug in to the bulb socket. I thought They were wired wrong at first, lol. Guess I'll never have that hour back lol.
