LED headlight sidemarkers

Placed Order #24007
Stew, will you kindly send me the replacement VLEDs in this shipping for my Stage 2 tail lamps, I sent you a PM earlier. Save you an additional shipping.

 

Does anyone have a Stage 1 Amber they would like to sell?

 

Ditto - hey @MESO - I know I just missed these, but any idea when/if they may be back around?

 

Anyone who has installed a set of amber-only able to to verify the wiring for the boards? I've got my front end taken apart with just the sidemarkers left to wire in before I can button it all back up, and not quite certain on the appropriate wires to tap.

Edit: As below, for folks running amber led boards (yellow/black coming off of the board, and red/white/yellow/black coming out of the controller box):
Red taps into "A", the non-white/black cord coming out of the stock side marker bulb plug. Black taps into "B", the white/black cord coming out of the stock side marker bulb plug. Yellow taps into "C", the non-white/black cord coming out of the turn signal plug. Don't use the white cord or "D". Thanks nv4m!

 

@MESO Is there a install video for these?

 

These stage 2's in all-amber really tie the lights together and make it pop. I think the S2's are the perfect amount of accent.

 

Looks awesome dude

 

Anyone got a picture of the back of the headlight with wires coming out as well as driver mounting for these? Im trying to plan this all out before I send it. Got all my retrofit parts. Just gotta get some time now.

 

I'd take a picture but its really hard to see / get to. I hid the driver in my fender so it cant be seen at all without taking the bumper off. Anyways, here's a picture of the driver from the diode dynamics site. The strip in the images is much larger than these sidemarkers

 

Here's where I mounted mine (using high strength velcro strips), and how I ran the wires out of the back of headlight, sort-of.

Spoiler: Pictures

Driver's side, next to battery:



Passenger's side, against front wall:



The old sidemarker bulb hole that I cut a piece of rubber-furniture-feet down to side to fit in, where I ran the sidemarker LED cords through (not pictured)

 

That’s what I was curious about. Finding some way to cover that hole that the wire would come out.

 

The rubber I cut down to size had to accommodate 3 wires (one for each stage 2 LED strip since I went with all ambers, and one shrinkwrapped pair coming off of the RX350 highbeam solenoid), so I had to cut it to ~1cm diameter to fit them all, and I couldn't go with a flexible "X" cut because the sole of the cap was too thick, so I gobbed in a ton of silicon between the wires to seal it up. I'd also originally planned to use the furniture caps to surround the hole, rather than trim it down to sit in it, but the package I picked up was slightly too small. I tried hard to find a 3/4" rubber seal to fit flush, but I think you'll just have to make do. If you're only running a single wire out of it, a piece of rubber stripping cut-to-size for the hole, with a small slit in it should be plenty to fit one wire+connector through, and seal easily with silicon without much mess or room for leak.

 

Since when MESO release the All Amber stage 2? I only can see switch-back amber/white available in his website.
Looks GREAT!

 

He may have only wired up the amber power and left the white LED's disconnected...? I'm not an electrical guru, so I could be VERY far off. I ordered a set of stage II for an eventual retrofit, but I'm apprehensive about all of the wiring that will need to be done.

 

Thanks, all credit to MESO for the product, inspiration & guidance. I ended up buying the stage 2 inserts from meso, and buying the 3" amber led boards directly from DD (they don't make a dual-amber like they do for switchback, so I had to get 4x individual amber boards)

It sounded like DD may have made it possible to run all-amber off of the switchback boards recently, but I've got no knowledge there.

 

Fancy Fancy!

 

I know it’s been asked before, but can someone help me understand hoe to wire stage 1s? Do I have to cut wires on my truck? I sure hope not.

 

From earlier in the thread/post 215:


And yes I believe you’d have to tap the original turn signal wiring

 

Thanks @MESO love the stage 2 side markers.
