The RECON Smoked Black LED 3rd Brake Light Kit has garnered a mixed but generally favorable reception among buyers who seek aesthetic enhancements and improvements in functionality for their 2009-2014 Ford F150 trucks. Many customers appreciate its sleek and aggressive design, particularly in black, which complements their vehicles beautifully. The quality and Construction of the unit have received positive remarks, as several users noted that the installation process was straightforward with adequately long wiring, despite some confusion regarding the wiring instructions. Although the aesthetics and waterproof features are highlights, some buyers found the instruction manual lacking detailed guidance, leading to errors during installation, particularly with regards to wiring. The splicing required to fit the new brake light can be a downside for those expecting a plug-and-play experience, especially since these alterations are not easily reversible. While the LED lights provide a visually appealing upgrade, some customers expressed disappointment in the brightness compared to the OEM lights, stating that while the brake light is effective, the cargo lighting does not offer the intensity they desired. There were also concerns regarding the fitment of the light, as it slightly protrudes from the truck’s cab, which could collect debris over time. However, many users were happy to report that it remained leak-free through rain, a significant improvement over the factory version prone to water ingress. Overall, the RECON kit impresses with its appearance and solid build quality, making it a recommended choice for stylizing F150s while addressing common leakage issues. However, Prospective buyers should be aware of the splicing required and manage expectations regarding light output. **
