Meso V5 turn signals are out!!!!

I didn’t wire up the DRL function. Not sure how to do that yet.

 

You had to request it. See here.

 

Do you want them to imitate vehicle's DRL function?

 

Yeah, I want them to be always on & bright. Just not 100% sure what wires in the door to tap and what type of connection I should use.

 

Well that is NOT parallel with the vehicle's DRL circuit, that would be Bright at Start, Dim when Low beams are selected.
For always bright only, any fused IGN source. There's a source at each door, no need to run it through the door boot.

 

For anyone with the v2 puddle pod connectors, which color wire (red/ white from the v5 turns) goes to which wire on the puddle pod 2 pin connector? Or do i leave the white wire unconnected since it will be a bright only connection? I might have missed it, but I don't think anyone covered this specifically.

 

Bright only = RED
You could connect the pigtail to puddle mating and turn the vehicle ON, whichever end has juice is the one. Pod needs ground to illuminate...

 

Hook up the red to either of the those wires and it will light up bright

 

Hooking up red and white V5 wires for dummies - Anyone have some clear directions for a 2020 TRD OR for the new V5 hooking up the red and white wires in the door (I also bought the harness) for non LE or puddle light folks (like me?) please and thanks

 

Out of curiosity, does that mean the white wire stays disconnected?

 

There have been several options listed in this thread by caribe

 

Hey guys I wanted to ask if y’all could help me troubleshoot. I installed the V5’s, ran them through the door boot in to the engine bay and connected both them to my drivers side morimoto headlight using the PNP connector. Everything works as it should off, bright DRL, dim DRL, and sequential amber turns.

The issue is that when the lights are in the bright DRL position and I turn on the right turn signal on it causes hyper flashing on the entire right side.

The left turn signal does not hyper flash. I checked connections in the turn signal and they look okay

 

If only Bright is your preference, then YES.

 

I would guess it's the Morimoto headlight. Test the turn with the connector to the Morimoto Headlight disconnected. It should hyper-flash at a different speed. (just a test)

 

Just got an email from Meso today. They are sending out a new set that has been tested.

 

Great news!

EDIT: a whole new set or just a single problem left / right side?

 

Not sure, the wording is a little ambiguous, but it reads as probably just a single signal. Edited out my contact info.

 

Toy to play with...
Muchas Gracias Stew, @MESO

 

Got 'em Saturday and installed today. DRL not officially connected, but tested. Waiting for LED light harness from @daveeasa. Post status says Friday.

I got lucky on the lights, all the LED's work

Blinken lights:


Dim DRL test:


Bright DRL test:

 

Passenger' side IGN & Parking Tap at P21 for Taco's with anti-jam windows.
These are fine for the taps:

$12 Lockitt POSI-TAP 6 pack wire connectors 20-22 awg

Passenger's side (With Jam-Protection windows)


Driver's side (any model)

Or do this:

V5 DRL added relay (5 pin) in parallel with Headlight DRL relay, at Low Beam select Main Body ECU shuts down ground source to both. Headlight DRL dims via feed from Parking circuit, V5 added relay switches from NC to NO providing power to Dim side of V5 via add-a-fuse IGN source.
