    I’d be really interested (and pay the premium of sourcing) in the brake and turn signal plugs so I can make a plug and play harness for the turn as tail module (without reverse) for personal use

    I'm indifferent to modifying my taillight. What it would come down to for me is if I felt stage 2 was worth the price difference. So for example if stage 1 and 2 were the same price then I would pick stage 2. If stage 2 was $100 more than stage 1 then I would pick stage 1.

    Agreed. If all it is to mod is a step wedge and price difference is negligible, easy answer... blind them all!

    This mod will sure make a few Tacomas stand out. ...until they ALL want to do it just like the pro grill.
    Every other Mo Larry and Curly has them now so I'm sticking to my 18 grill.

    Stage #2 is going to cost more, as the Tritons alone are $100+

    EDIT: Unless the kit does not include them. Kit cost to kit cost may be similar.

    Correct. Just the VLED lights are $100+ more, so that would definitely hike the price up on the kit. I am still deciding if I want to include the Triton bulb in stage 2. But seeing as I am now a VLED dealer I might be able to make the package a litttle more price competitive. Either way, gotta pay to play.
    for sure. Once I get everything ironed out and listed I’ll be able to make small adjustments(remove, substitute, etc) items.

    When are we going to see these harnesses? January is almost over...


    Secondly, are these Tritons really that much better?

    He posted photos a few pages back.
    Yes.

    @mesojdm won’t release anything that he doesn’t feel is perfect. You may not appreciate that while waiting, but you will when you buy.
