    Post #1 ... The "Turn" labeled photo.. if the Parking lights mode was this I would be super happy.

    I would really like the next update to be they're here in the US and shipping to our trucks!

    @mesojdm what turns do you have in your mirrors? V4s?

    If they are it can put into perspective just how bright the DRL and turn signal is. Because your V4s are super bright!

    Regarding your V5s do you think the sequential turn will run at the same speed and brightness as these headlights?

    So Meso are these bad boys good enough that they're going to permanently replace your current headlights?


    Also does installation require removing the grill?

    Wouldn’t that be nice :rofl:
    Not saying they are bad at all... they are the best off the shelf/drop in headlight you can buy(performance and aesthetics)
    But I have really high expectations and have been spoiled with high output lighting..so there is always room to make them “better”;)

    Haha I will be watching what you do with them closely ;)

    In the mean time I think they'll be great for guys like me who havent brought themselves to bake their headlights yet :) will be ordering once they're officially released.

    I preordered these headlights back in October and was told the release was in February, then was told late March, and now found out late June... Does anyone know why it was delayed until June? Crossing fingers for no more delays.

    From Andrew himself:
    “So... status update since I know everyone is excited.

    Truth be told: we're at capacity overseas for production of other lights that came before the Tacoma lights, which in turn delays the ETA of the Tacoma lights a bit further I'm afraid.

    We have 1,000 sets of the 09-18 Ramlights and similar quantities of F150 (15-17 and 18+) and Super Duty lights, aswell as all of our other models, taillights, etc. all in production, and the Tacoma lights fall next after that.

    Current ETA is realistically going to belate June-July. Keep in mind shippingalone takes 4-6 weeks, which meansthey have 4-6 weeks to produce all theTacoma lights from now.”
