    Lol I didn’t even notice. When I got your kit, I was in a mad dash to swap out that junk. But it does make total sense.

    A BIG Word of Caution to anyone thinking of purchasing and attempting this mod..... :eek:

    "The experience and results could lull you into thinking your skills are better than they are" ! :D

    Catz Ass. @mesojdm :thumbsup:

    1. Brake lights are the ballz !
    2. Reverse lights look great in daylight !
    3. Amber Switchback directionals bedazzle !

    4. I do wish the running lights were brighter in daylight. :( (I'll reserve till nightime to conclude)

    5. I have LED's in the front as well. No hyperflash.........
    ** EXCEPT ** in reverse with flashers or directionals on, then they run wild.
    (Resistors required for the fix or just live with it ?)

    If I don't want to modify housing and have stage 1. Can I just add VLED 7443 to the brake lights? For half of the stage 2 benefits?

    Is the stage 1 supplied resistor rated at 25 or 50 watt?

    Yes you’ll be fine. During my testing I left the turn signal on for a good amount of time(wise case scenario) and it wasn’t very hot at all

    Sounds good. Thanks for the confirmation!

    I only need these resistors until my MESO turn signals arrive :D Some say they have built in resistors?

    My ultimate turns do have a 10ohm onboard resistor built inside. They are shipping throughout this week.. I was buried in orders :/

    No worries, looking forward to the turn signals when they arrive.

    These stage 1 tail lights are awesome. Much brighter than stock, look good while being safe, can't beat that!

    There are those of us who LOVE driving with our turn signals on. Usually in the Left lane too!

    I’m promoting safety and encouraging people to actually use their turn signals now:)
    Negative. The reverse is integrated into the same turn bulb. My best suggestion If you wanted a brighter reverse would be to add auxiliary lights under the bumper or something

    Well, I guess technically - He COULD get your Triton Adapters and buy Triton V6s to go all Stage 2....
