    Update:
    While the Tacoma harnesses are in Production, I have been busy with 4 Runner pods. They will both drop at the same time. So if you have a runner, get ready for those too. Here are the final production units

    These are much easier to install since there is already wiring in the mirror. My custom adapter plugs;

    Also, I had a few bad T-harnesses in the first batch of Tacoma Puddle pods. I am making it my mission to have 100% success rate. So we designed a custom Test jig that checks full pinout and continuity.

    As for release date.. nothing in stone. I will be out of the country until the end of the month. So more than likely the first week of AUG.


    I am looking into this. If I do, It will work on all existing kits.

    Trying to:)

    Missed out on the previous batches. My birthday is 2nd week of August and the wifey has already said she would buy them for me. Now all I need to do is hit the puddle light lottery so to speak.:fingerscrossed:

    Look at the pins on the T harness. Inspect insulation on wires. You're more than likely to be trouble free though. Don't sweat it. Make sure all the components are there.

    Also, lay everything out in the orientation that it's supposed to go. Do a dry run essentially to make sure you don't cause yourself re-work. Ask me how I know......

    @MESO I know you’re busy with the truck build, SEMA, going out of the country and TW, but could you adjust your webpage so it shows prices even when out of stock. Or at least put the price on page 1 of the corresponding thread.

    Some stuff we have to plan ahead, it would make it easier for us to give you our $$.

    :spending:

    It's no fun to run all your wires, button everything up (including that driverside boot), then find out that you ran your shit backwards and that the ends don't mate up. Had to undo everything, pull the wire back thru the boot then reverse it and run it correctly. Just time consuming and mildly frustrating haha.

    My biggest concern when running them was that I'd put the short wire and long wire on the wrong side. Backwards though... That sucks!

    Okay, I have listened to you guys. They are so bright they could double as work/camping light. So having the ability to turn them on/off manually is a nice feature.
    I have came up with a custom 3 position switch. (kinda like the bed light) but isolated so it can controlled regardless of the Cab light or dome light position.

    As far as installation, it will be super simple and can be added on or upgraded at anytime to an existing puddle light kit. A short extension, and a plug that will go into the exiting T harness.
    Let me know your thoughts:)
