    Morimoto Reds!!!

    These are expected to have darker reverse light area:

    I'm leaning towards the Reds.

    The entire red lens will appear darker, not just the reverse bucket. With a black background (internals) the red lens will appear darker... just like the original Bro Pros.

    Thanks for the info!

    I'm thinking the Reds will contrast with my Midnight Black Sport.

    Kinda like this...LOL!!!

    Thanks @memario1214

    Contrast in a good way, yes.

    My OG Bro Pros on my MGM.

    So how in the hell does the harness remove from the bulb adapter for the reverse light. It's kicking my tail

    Are you talking about the reverse adapter that connects to the bottom?

    Or the bulb?

    Bulbs are easy. The adapter was a pain though. Got them off

    SWEET!

    Someone was asking how the lights look when the brake is pressed and the sequential turn indicator is on...

    I recall Meso saying that when that happens, the signals would take priority over the brakes. In a similar fashion to other cars with their brakes/signals coming from the same light source.

    Found it!
    Here is his video demonstration of the brakes and signal.


    Also I just came across this:
    Does that mean those of us with the OG Meso Ultimate Tails/BroPros that had some of our LEDs burned out can apply for the new MoriMeso? Or the newest latest greatest revival run of the BroPros!!

    Thank you! I will contact him too.

    I wonder if there will an option to send our OG tails in. I don't have the finesse to open them up an fix them, and thought it would be a waste just to have them sit in the garage.

    I sent him mine, and they can't be repaired, as he no longer makes the LED boards. I'm sure a photo of your broken lights will be sufficient.

    I agree, I think with black red is the way to go. It however looks outdated on the cement color so I went with clear

    Interesting how the look depends on the color.

    Every Taco is unique to the owner/model/color AND personal preference.

    Do you have anymore shots from other angles?

    Well that makes me rethink what I would like on my white Tacoma. The red really looks good.
