Going to buy the clearance lights, any brands that are better than others?

Recon, even though they're a little more expensive, always have great reviews.

So someone just photoshopped this for me.

It honestly looks better than I thought it would, just looks a little out of place

Thanks for the video. Does the relay usually come with the light kit?

no and you usually have to supply some wire too because they don't give you much to work with.

I'm curious as to why you wouldn't use the Chevy light pattern vice the Ford pattern?

Chevy has 2 outer lights, then they put 3 lights clustered together in the center. Ford and Dodge have all 5 lights equidistant across the roof line


I've installed quite a few of these in the past on my Fords. Actually just installed a OEM set of 2012 ones on my Excursion. Recon makes good, expensive stuff. But the LED's are bright and the product is good. I prefer OEM for stuff like this.

be careful which one you buy. If you get a OEM Ford set of lights, they require drilling a 1" hole...and 1/4" holes for EACH LIGHT! The 1" hole can be a real bear to drill out.

Recon lights require drilling 4 holes per light. 3 of those holes are mounting screws, the 4th hole is I think 3/8" and that's the wire pigtail hole.

whatever light you end up using, I highly highly highly suggest you seal it with outdoor grade silicone. the rubber gaskets these lights come with are inadequate to long life and keeping water/snow out. I hate rust and I'm sure y'all do too!


I'm curious to see pics of this. I've never seen a Tahoe/Yukon/Burb with Clearance lights. I can't see it being a good look actually unless the truck is 4x4 and lifted though. Here is a pic of my Excursion for reference so you can see the spacing I mentioned above for Fords setup.

sorry to post a Ford on here...but you can see the Escalade in the background owning the driveway...so ​

If I do this project ill probably use an oem set, just the ford ones were the set I was looking at before I realized they were different

^X1 - they do not belong on a Tahoe, Yuk or Suburban.
