MESO Puddle Light build

Driver door, up to T harness in A pillar. Then the longer wire goes down, in foot well and across to passenger side.

 

It probably looks worse then it is but I’m just nervous because this is more then I’ve done before. Most I’ve done is take or the doors to install new speakers. So that part I’m solid with lol.

 

I already am, my brother saw them come on when I got close to the truck and said "wtf?!"

 

I’m at work and just tried to get a few night pics. But it’s too bright on my phone to really show them. Here you go.

 

Just tell him it's MESO MAGIC

 

It's not tough, the install instructions explain and show every step. Just make sure you take note of all the parts and don't forget one and freak out like I did.

 

The be fair, the instructions did need minor touch ups here and there but does a good job overall. It is not the instructions fault for me not finishing today clearly I am a newb x 100, but the instructions + TW user feedback helped smooth out some of those speed bumps.

BUT- one should expect hiccups for a product that literally just launched to the public for the first time. The installation guide ALREADY has been updated today with various TW user's feedback and that gets me excited to get to try this again on my next day off on Sunday!

 

I have came to the realization that no product launch will be 100% perfect. there will always be some weird quirk that's overlooked. No matter how hard I try to dot every "i". That's where feedback comes in and helps fine tune it to perfection

 

Yup, there were some steps where I had to either message meso directly or do what seemed best.

One being the fact that some passenger side mirrors have an additional fin that need trimming.

Another being the wire routing to the passenger side.

And another being that there isn't much space in the A pillar once you add the meso harness, I had to remove the OEM femail clip and fish it down into the dash to hide the wiring.

Overall, the instructions can get your there. No product will have a foolproof launch.

 

Here's the result. V1 passenger side, V2 drivers.

 

... yah, I'd say there is a noticeable difference

Would you come over to where I live and take off the boot between the doors and finish my wiring?

 

Having the LED further out(v1) really shows you in the more light coverage you get towards the front of the truck. (You can see the shadow on each side and see the angle)
That said, VLED does put some raw lux down and outshine the v1. Both in spread and intensity.

 

I did it over a year ago but I do remember the door side was easier by reaching inside the door and pushing it out.

 

Wouldn't have noticed that shadow difference if you didn't point it out. Those V2 do put out some light that's for sure.

 

Second batch eta? Yes I’m that guy who’s going to ask cause seeing all these installs is making me want one even more

 

Love the proximity activation

 

Watching my own video made me realize I can throw out that old bottle opener since I’m rollin with the minimalist fob lol

 

PlannIng on selling on those V1s?

 

How well did everything fit when you reinstalled the door panels, etc.? On some vehicles I’ve had the fitment after reinstall items had left a lot to be desired.
