Ultimate LED turn signals

Hey Meso, how's the development progress on the V5's going?

 

THIS. Thank you. Going to be doing the same thing.

 

Is it really necessary to disconnect the battery for install?

 

no

 

Totally missed the black Friday sale, didn't even think about it .

 

this is really helpful.
I did a similar function with my limited editions. They are wired differently to the window switch controller. I wired both DRL function lights to my passenger door switch (did when I installed puddles since I was already wiring through the door) that way I can control the on off with my window lock. really like the function to control them. It does get overridden when parking and headlights come on. Also these have a bright and dim function with headlights on and off, not sure if the V5’s do the same

 

Yes, the V5 dim is controlled by the R44 signal (green wire) on the harness.

 

Any news on the V5's?

 

My 3rd meso mod that I purchased. These side marker lights are great!

 

V5 update;
Here's my prototype V5 from Morimoto. We are looking good, just have to nail down all the connections and tweak a few things.

DRL-->Normal TURN-->Sequential TURN---> Reverse Sequential TURN

These have taken a while, as they are pretty complex. Fitting all the drivers/controllers/etc internally, then making proper optics to make them the brightest and most efficient




There are 2 ways to diffuse light;
1)Phosphorus Coating(the white stuff you see over halos)
2)Optics(magnifying glasses)

There are PROS and CONS of each.

Phosphorus Coating:
PRO: Diffuses light more evenly+ cheap to manufacure
CON: See a big white strip + loose intensity

Optics:
PRO: more intensity + More efficient (need less LED's)
CONS: More expensive to manufacture + you can see the LED's themselves


I went with optics because for a DRL, you want the intensity and brightness. It might look funny to some (like cracked ice light) but once you are ~5+ft back it looks like a solid beam of light anyway.

You can see here how it takes all the light and magnifies it forward.

 

Just installed my v4 today, but on one of the sides there is a pretty bad rattle everytime on tap the mirror or open/close the doors. Anyone have an idea why this is or how to stop the rattling. It's pretty annoying.

 

Make sure its clipped in. I had a rattle and when I removed cover I noticed it wasn't clipped in properly.

 

I checked multiple times, everything is clipped. I removed the turn signal and vibration goes away. Clip it all back in and the rattle begins. I compared it to the other side and everything looks the same. Kind of stumped here.

 

Those look fantastic Stew.

 

Hot diggity damn! Can't wait. I suspect these will be up there in price because of the complexity and build. Which is great because it gives people options (V4 for the simple and affordable route) or the (V5 for the more expensive yet more intense route).

 

I think 200 per pair is pretty reasonable considering his R&D and attention to detail.

His customer service is 5 star also from my experience.

 

I think he’s said it will be around $200

 

I volunteer as prototype testing tribute!
