    I thought about that but decided to go big or go home because for an extra $30 or so I get 1,400 lumen turn signals versus 700. I want to blind people when changing lanes.

    The V3 was the only option when I got mine years ago and they are still running strong. Had 1 issue where one went out for a few days after hitting a mud puddle at speed at Flagpole (you were there) where I guess water was forced in there, but they dried out and started working fine again.

    I’m gonna take some good before and after comparisons during day and night and will share the video. I’m hoping it’s as ridiculous as I think it’ll be.

    Should be pretty frickin crazy. I don't think the V3 were anywhere near that bright, but I do love the switchback feature on them. Lol I actually have a set of the V6's but since the V3 started working fine again I didn't want to swap them out just yet.

    What's neat is now on my rear lights I'll have a switchback in the reverse portion of the tail light. Normally it's lower half brake, upper half signal but now the whole thing will be brake and the reverse portion my turn signal. And apparently studies have been done to show amber is more effective than red for rear facing turn signals, and you know I'm all about that safety.

    Just be sure to subtly film someone squinting behind you when you are stopped at a red light making at turn.

    Safety for the win!!!

    Heck that's why I did the meso total taillight kit...amber rear turns and brighter and fuller brake lights. Speaking of, turns out I got a recall on the 3rd brake light, so I'll have to pull the hardshell and take her in for the replacement soon.

    Gross! Pulling shells is kind of a pain.

    To be honest, it's been covered up since I picked up the shell from Cody's last taco...which I think has been almost exactly 2 years now. Oh well, that's what friends and brother-in-laws are good for...I know my wife could lift and carry, but she's even shorter than short ass!

    Plus some equally stunning aux reverse lights on the back of the trailer, can't underestimate "seeing" as far rearward into where you intend to backup!
