MESO Puddle Light build

No turning back now lol

 

Your almost there!

 

Exactly what I was thinking. How to add a switch.

 

You made me feel better after reading that! A couple weeks ago I spent a good 2-3 days trying to figure out where the hell my driver door inner felt thing went. All other doors were not missing them.

Then later a light bulb went off and I was like "Oh no, I vacuumed it up at the car wash!" .. I thought I was dope haha.

 

Oh great, they're sitting right there for me!

 

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I received few messages about the passenger side POD fitment. It seems some years have an extra plastic "rib" inside the PASSENGER mirror that is causing the new puddle pod to not sit flush. If so, not a big deal just use a pair of snips or a dremel to remove a notch in the plastic so there is clearance for the new light.
here are some pics for better understanding. @LivinOnEdge do you mind adding this to the install PDF?

 

What years have the issue?

 

Good to know. Easy work around, I have just the tool for that! Thanks for the update. Mine just got delivered 20 minutes ago!

 

For sure brotha! Ill update shortly and pm you the new version.

 

If you do lose the felt pieces for in the door handle cubby, they are only ~$2 to replace. Part # 74222A for driver and 74221A for passenger. Ask me how I know - I was missing the passenger one before I started.





If you also lose the clips that hold the mirror trim on the door panel like I did (they fall in the door easily), part # is 67491E. They are around $2.50 each. There are three per door. My recommendation is for when you reinstall that trim is to remove the three white clips from the door and clip them on to the back of the mirror trim piece. There's three little protrusions on the back of the trim piece that snaps into the middle of the white clips. If you do that, there's no way they can fall into the door. That's what I did when I reinstalled them with my replacements.







Lastly, I was also missing one of three 10mm bolts holding the lower dash panel before I started. I probably misplaced it a previous time when I was taking the dash apart. I was missing the far left bolt. Part # for that is 90080-11353. That should be less than $1.





All of these are likely special order at your dealer's parts department but they should have it within 1-2 days with free shipping if you pick it up.

Hopefully no one needs to order any of these things but I figured I'd post the part #s since I did and it would be easy to lose any of these during the install.

Good luck!

 

May add this to the back of the guide.

 

I am not sure. When I designed the pods I had a 2016 in hand to work off and they fit. The member that brought it to my attention had a 2019 PRO.
Either way, I would just be aware when snapping the pod in. If it makes contact, just take a minute and make the minor modification.

 

Those white clips can be retrieved really easily. Just pull the vapor barrier back and reach in the door.

 

Mine were still MIA haha but that's a good point!

 

Probably fell down between the two seams haha.

 

How are you guys getting the harness to go through the boot? I keep getting stuck on the ribs of the boot when trying to pass it through.

 

You look at the installation instructions? Starting page 16

 

I know your a busy man stew @MESO any time frame on when the next release is gonna be. I missed the first one and all these Install pics are driving me crazy.

 

@Tacospike Yep

 

@Tacospike. I got the boot off and cut the tape. I’m trying to feed the harness through the boot.
