Smoked lights install help

[r-cman]

I ordered a set of the IPCW smoked side marker lights and the Recon smoked cab lights off eBay and the install was a pain in the butt. The side marker lights wouldn't mount over the factory side markers so I ended up smashing the OEM side markers with a hammer to remove the LED's and then epoxying the LED's to the inside of the IPCW units. I called IPCW for install help (since no manual is included with the lights) and they didn't have any idea how to mount the lights. Obviously I spoke to an American import company who just sells crap from China without any idea on what it does.

Then I went to install the Recon cab lights and the posts which mount through the holes in the roof were to big and I had to use my dremel to slim them down so they'd fit. Needless to say I'm a little frustrated that these installs should have taken very minimal time but ended up taking 6hrs. Am I doing something wrong? Are the kits on eBay factory seconds with defects? Let me know if you guys had similiar issues so I know I'm not making things more difficult for no reason. Thanks- Jacob

Hey did you get the smoked roof lights from global parts??? I got some andhad the same problem and sent them back so I then bought new ones from recon to see if they fit correctly. The clips on the lights were to big to put on. I was so pissed. Just be careful that they dont have a gap between the light and the body or they will leak. I will update when I get the new recon lights in and see if they are right boss

The lights I'm talking about are the Recon one's. You'll have to take a dremel and shave down the posts so they fit in the holes. Let me know if they drop right in. Maybe mine were just defective. Thanks
