    How about offering a "Stage 1.75" that includes (4) VLED Red 50 LEDs instead of your standard 7443 red LEDs?

    Stage 1.75 would be the near equivalent of stage 2 with zero modifications required.

    It would be close in price to the stage 2. I wanted to keep a spread between the stage 1 and 2 to justify the price jump. But maybe I’ll entertain the idea of mixing between the stages.

    I'm eagerly awaiting stock replenishment of either stage.

    Edit: yes, this product prompted my first post to TW. :D

    For some reason this reminds me of 2nd place loser syndrome.
    Stage 1.5: happy just to have a set.
    Stage 1.75: you are great, but Stage 2 is better.
    Stage 2: Finish line.

    If it was me, somewhere deep down, I would have wish I just gotten a Stage 2.

    Keep in mind he's doing everything from a to z for his biz so having just two or three kits to package prob saves him a tremendous amount of time (not to mention confusion).
    That way he can work on making more of all the other stuff we crave. ;)

    So now I’m torn...

    I’ve ordered a set of OEM TRD Pro tail lights from SparksParts that have shipped and will arrive this Thursday. I’m going to be tempted to install them right away, which is why I’m torn. Ideally, I’d wait for @MESO ’s next batch of Stage 2’s to drop, put them in the new lights, and then install and enjoy. I suppose I could remove them again and install the new Stage 2’s whenever I get them...so torn! :confused:

    It does not take much at all to remove and install the Stage 2 when they drop again. I had the OEM Pro lights in there and it took less than 5 mins to pull them out to work on them.

    Yeeeeah, slap those bad boys on now and it'll make you appreciate the difference that the Stage 2's make even more, once you get those installed.

    Oh you unlucky devil. A MESO virgin! These products are first time addictive...my first was the Ultimate Turns. On top of those, I’ve got the Minimalist Fob, Gasshole, and Extended Fuse Cover. I’ve just ordered the Ti OctoRing and red buttons for the Fob (I’ll likely only use the red panic button).

    I don't understand the issue. It takes less than a minute to remove both tail lights. It's 2 bolts and 3 keyed connectors per side.

    Edited to fix bolts per side. It's 4 total, 2 per side.
