    Yes, was referring to the spring plug adapter thing that came with the dome. I plugged in both ways

    Put the original one back in, if it works then it’s a problem with the new light, if it doesn’t, then check fuses.

    Old bulb was blown to begin with, so will have to get a cheap new one to test. But just like that the new dome flashed red a few times again. Thought I had it, then nothing AND NOW the map lights stopped working. Pretty sure nothing wrong with new lights and I have an electric problem on my hands. Still under warranty so will bring in when I get chance.

    Does anybody know what polarity I should plug the Meso dome light into the socket? Red on right or left?

    All orders have been shipped! Given the sheer amount of orders I can only guess there will be some issues; shipping, wrong order, damaged, etc.
    Please email me at mesocustoms@gmail.com or drop a PM. I will address it as quick as I can:)


    Red looks great:D

    yeah yeah I know.

    I have more just took them off the site. I stopped sales so I could catch up with orders and recheck inventory numbers. I'll most likely open them up again next week.

    Double check the dome bulb adapter(thing with a spring) I've had a few instances where the wire lead wasn't making full contact on the end caps.

    I suggest snapping the dome bulb adapter in first(hardest part as it's a weird angle) then just plugging the small black 2 pin connector into the dome itself. If it doesn't work just flip the connector around. But usually the positive dome is on drivers side.

    I must have pissed off the Tacoma gods, or Meso gods, but one of my maps lights (passenger) also won’t work. Order #12700. I sent you an email reply to my confirmation email. Guess my eyeball rods and cones will survive a little longer...

    I don’t mean to sound like a 5 year old staring at the sun, but I can stare into the dome light longer than I can stare into the map lights. Take that information and use it as you wish

    Lights received and installed!

    On the maps lights, anyone else’s plug in very loosely? I’m a bit concerned the plug is going to wiggle loose and lose connection.

    What do you think @MESO ?

    The internal brass prongs of the overhead socket are not very stiff. They can get pushed flat from aftermarket bulbs, or simply plugging/unplugging multiple times.
    If yours is loose, it's an easy fix. Just use a small flat head or sharp pick too and bend the prongs back in towards each other.
    This will reset the grip, and make the bulb adapters nice and snug!

    Awesome. I knew you’d have the answer!

    Thanks for the lights Sir. Keep up the good work!

    Update: bending prongs worked perfectly!

    Got mine and installed today. Took less than 1 minute. Love your plug n play simplicity! Can't wait for the new goods from the email. Straight crushing the tacoma market.

    I tried every combination of connector and orientation during install. No dice. @MESO as usual is taking care of it.

    Too many pages - but I’m having a slight problem. After install my lights don’t turn off when I shut my doors and lock my truck. I had LEDs before and just switched them to MESO maps and domes and the only way to shut them off is to turn the switch to off before I get out of my truck.

    Just got my red dome to complete my red set. Love the reds for my regular needs and date nights (like I had tonight) Have my full whites I’m gonna swap when I need them for camping and holiday trips when I need the sun when it’s pitch black out. Love having two set ups for both my needs. Feeling complete.
