Yes these are the most expensive options by far, but Recon has been in the aftermarket lighting business for longer than most and these F150 tail lights will not disappoint. They are so far the highest quality F150 tail lights we have reviewed. Looks, perfect fit, water protection, long life, these Recon’s have it all.

For the simple OEM look without the OEM price Evan-Fischer is your best option. These F150 tail lights are not anything to write home about, but you know what you’re getting when it comes to the looks.

Pros

  • Best quality OEM style
  • OEM style
  • Direct Fit replacement
  • Meets DOE/SAE standard
  • Good Warranty

Cons

  • OEM Style (yeah is a pro and con)

AlphaRex – Honorable Mention

AlphaRex 2014 ford raptor tail lights

Alpha Rex deserves an honorable mention because they are by far the best value we have tested. Check out our Alpha Rex f150 tail review to find out why we love them. They are highly recommended but there is limited stock & inventory at the moment. Alpha Rex is a newer player in the aftermarket lighting scene but is stealing the show in other categories such as our Ultimate Guide F150 Headlights 2009-2014 best headlight pick for your F150. Their track record has shown to provide the most up-to-date styling with higher quality and more features than competitors of the same price. If none of our other picks feel right check out the manufacturer’s site for updates on future availability. Or check out the lucky few who have got their hands on them on the Ford Raptor Forum.
