Recon Tails & 3rd Brake Light & Black Honeycomb Grill Installed!!Projectors are on Backorder..
Well just got on my days off, had a parcel at the mail for me.
I was pretty damn excited ha
My Recon Parcel has came in, went there picked it up. Box seemed a touch small.
Opened it all up everything was there but my projector headlights. Recon tails, LED back up lights, & 3rd brake light.
So spent my morning installing that & also my new honeycomb grill. Well second hand.
A big thanks to a fellow ramforumz member Wayne from Nova Scotia. Thanks again for hooking me up with this grill. Now only need the projectors to finish her all off.
Called recon, they said they were sent out yesterday and were terribly sorry. So next week I shall have them!
What do ya guys think?? The black grill instead of the chrome is a HUGE difference. It was totally worth it. Just need my headlights & a levelling kit to cap her off!
thoes look awesome dude and i just ordered a set aswell but i did not see thoes ones with a black housing....dammit cuz thats the ones i really wanted so i ended up ordering the red smoked ones but a question for ya how long did it take them to email you a confirmation because i ordered mine like 3 days ago and still havnt got anything?
The grill swap is leaps and bounds better with the black honeycomb! I did mine a few months ago too. Aren't all those little tabs holding the insert to the shell a P.I.T.A??? lol Hated those things! The tails and 3rd brake light looks killer too.
Those little tabs were a *itch. Once you got one unclipped another snaps back in. Worked my way up from the bottom to the top and she came off not to bad then. Had someone give me a hand just to put some pressure so it was a good help.
The sports should come with this black grill stock. It suits it SO much better.
Bordin: Are you keeping your stock tails? I'm looking to pick up a used set at a fair price to tint, I want to keep my stockers that's why I need an extra set. Let me know if you're interested in selling...
Truck looks great! I like the honeycomb grille much better. Seeing your truck makes me want to swap my chrome bumpers for white bumper covers...
I was planning on keeping them. I will most likely put themback on for the winters up here. The salt/rocks on the roads just kill anything nice you put on your vehicles.
Sorry about that
I sure don't miss the wear and tear of the northern winters! Here in Florida a vehicle pretty much lasts forever (maybe not paint)...even the powertrain/drivetrain, everythings flat, no hills, no stress, good mpg....the north is hard on vehicles...
:beerchug:i will say that i was set on getting a black Ram, but after seeing this, you may have changed my mind! black was my first choice and white was my second, but i think white just squeaked by black LOL, clean truck man!
Next Wednesday boys!! Work 7 hours from home so sucks.
But before 10am weds morning those projectors will be on.
Also, got my catch can and found my WHITE plasti dip. So expect some interior mods in the near future.
And thanks everyone, black is a popular choice with any vehicle. But I currently have a Black Nitro and wanted something different. White is a little bit more high maintenance, but when its clean. Damn its sexy!!
I don't know what it is, but I sweat my white truck seems to stay looking clean, even when it's filthy. I've only washed it twice since I bought it in january, but it never looks REALLY dirty, however, it ALWAYS looks slightly dirty, lol...I think because it's such a bright color, it never looks filthy. I happen to think black always looks dirty...
Truck looks sweet man, the black honeycomb does it a world of justice, and I agree, that's what it should have come with and the tails/3rd brake light look awesome, nice job so far! :smileup:
The license plate covers I got from Canadian Tire. They have clean/smoke/blue whatever you want.
The ones I have come with a black frame and a smoked cover which ran 14$ I believe. So around 30$ for both front and black.
The thing is you can't tighten them down to much or they just crack like nothing, believe me I did it ha
LoL. I'm on my 4th canadian tire cover, lol. It's something you just have to factor in like oil changes or whatever. $10 every 3 or 4 months. Truck looks great. Awesome to finally see that grille in your truck. It is night and day difference. I have no idea why Dodge did the billet one, especially with your hood.
RECON Headlights Installed!! Also Plasti Dipping my Ram Emblem
FINALLY, had to to install my Recon headlights.
Ordered HIDS for the projectors and the high beams from DDM Tuning. Awesome products once again. Lights are awesome.
Install, well just say doing it in two hours is not a chance. The projector housing needed a touch of drilling to get the HID bulb in it. Also the bulb needed a touch or drilling.
Other than that it was all plug and play!
I can't be any happier.
What do you guys think??
Also, my catch can will be going on tonight. And emblem should be back on by then
Emblem:
Hey Bordin. I just installed my recon third brake light today and was wondering if your brake light's 6 LEDs in the middle stay on very dimly when everything is off. Everything is working fine other than that.
Thats the nature of LEDs. They take so little energy to stay on that sometimes they have a light glow to them from the charge left in the circuit. They should eventually go off, but even if they dont it would take days and days and days to drain your battery even slightly
