MESO Puddle Light build

Will do. This is actually my second time to install the puddle lights so it shouldn't be too bad. I had a '17 back on the original launch of the puddle lights but I sold that tuck. Got a '19 now.

 

That's exactly right!! If I remember correctly, it took me 3.5 hours last time but I went real slow and took plenty of beer breaks.

 

3.5 hrs doesn't seem bad, I mean staying hydrated is half the battle . I just ordered mine and they will be in Saturday. Really excited to get me more meso mods. I'm honestly surprised Toyota hasn't just tried to hire him for his great ideas and quality products. I can't wait for that 3rd gen manual key flip fob to drop,prolly gonna order 2 right away for main key and spare.

Edit#1 Wires were not short; I spoke too soon

Am I missing something here? I feel like it’s going to be too short to connect to the other end. Haven’t gotten there yet but it seems short. In the directions the connection is closer to the hole in the door and farther away from the yellow tape/wire. It seems like it’s a little more than a foot short.

 

make sure you are using the LONGER wire for passenger side and shorter one for drivers

 

10-4. Wires are ran now about to go up the driver side pillar.

 

Get it!

 

Please report back - I’m curious about total install time, as I’ve seen a big variance from different peeps here.

 

i got it all wired up, battery connected again and The lights aren’t coming on. The switch is illuminated but my overhead lights aren’t coming on either. Any trouble shooting you can think of I should do?

 

Check fuses and all your connectors. Most important, the one in the A-pillar.

 

Bypass switch, plug only 1 puddle side in at a tome(at a pillar) retest

 

I didn’t check the fuses but I did double check all the connectors as I connected them. Then went back and checked them again. Everything is connected and snug. I’ll go check the fuses

 

I did bypass the switch test but had both sides plugged in. I’ll go do that now.

 

Still nothing. Not sure what I did wrong. Did the install on the original launch and had zero issues.

 

There has been some instances where wires were crossed at the connector... see Post 5527. But @MESO can confirm with you.

 

This might be stupid but do these need to be connected? I figured it’s just the door locks and window switches

 

Mine are not crossed but good idea

 

I'd plug them all in to be sure... they all go into the computer in some magical way to make things work.

 

Still nothing

 

idk buddy, beats me
