My Recon light has begun to run nonstop with the white lights on. They never go off unless the truck is off. I didn't change the wiring harness when we hooked them up. Does anyone know a solution? I know most would say throw it away because its Recon. Its the only Recon I have. Those lights aren't easy to find anywhere else.

The first word of the title explains exactly why you're having problems. I bought one and returned it the very next day. Terrible products, terrible customer service.

this isn't very helpful yet. it might be cheaper to buy a different one than to have this one looked at. they are only 100

If your afraid of encountering the same issue with another Recon light, Raptor Retrofit is selling a factory tinted one. I was considering a Recon third brake light, but after reading yours and other members experiences that's the route I'll probably take.

I threw my factory one away. I was gonna tint it but remembered I don't have it. Usually I would have kept stuff but I thought its just a brake light.

Also the recon third no longer has the three amber running lights.
Those lights are there for a reason. Some states with vehicle width laws require marker lights. The recon light would not confirm to said regulation.

Sounds like you may have a resistor burned out. Listen that stuff is made in China and the quality control is very suspect. The best after market lights I have found out there are spyder as they are at least made in Tawian and not China. Also use name brand LED's. Unfortunately they don't make a dark or smoked third light.
