Default recon smoke cab lights

i was looking at the smoke colored recon cab lights and just wondering when they are on, does the red have a light red/pink color to them??? ...my brother has the ipcw and when his on, it has a light red/pink color to them due to the red colored bulb used in them. he ended up changing the bulb out with a red led and now its a deep red that matches the rest of the lights...i was looking at the putco ion chrome with leds but they are $250 versus the recon for $100...

yes, the bulbs that came with my smoked Putco had a very pinkish tint... I went through many different leds and found these to be the brightest red so far... Call around the bigger name auto stores, as I don't remember but I think I bought them from Pep Boys. In case the photo disappears, the number on the package is 168R, they are Blazer Xtreme Lites series, 2 bulbs, 12 volts...

ok, disregard my old previous advice. I just picked up another new set of the Recon smoked Cab Lights, and went to AutoZone for the Blazer 168R bulbs, and the bulbs are showing a pinkish tint to them too. I don't know if anything has changed or if I was high, but I could of swore they were a bright red last time...

That being said, now that I look at them again, I think I might actually like the pink

I used the smoke colored recon cab lights for a week - I did not like them so I took them off. I will be stending the money on the putco brand led. I could not find a bulb that looked good in the recon brand.

Agree 100%, go with LEDs, I had the same pink issues.
