    Yes it’s all plug and play you use the v led splitter and add the puddle break out. Super simple

    I have all three. Hardest part was the door rubber boots. Just take your time and be patient.

    I haven’t blown any fuse or had side effects with running all 3 together. I even have the vled for the back seats too no problem

    I’ve got all 3 as well. Be sure to order the splitter with the footwells, unless you have the wary kit with it already.

    I had the V5s in before the puddle pods. I ended up de-pinning the connector of the puddle pods to get through the door boot. Was a pain in the butt since there is only so much slack from the V5 wires going through the boot.

    I remember the pods harness having another connector meant for the switchback turn signals, is it just plug and play with that or am I remembering differently?

    I think you’re remembering right… though, they might not dim automatically when switching from low to high beams… or parking to low beam… can’t remember how it works.

    It’s not fully plug and play but you can get the puddle pod pigtails for the v5’s from MESO and crimp them on for pluggable without stalk control of DRL.

    Hi everyone with @MESO puddles and switch kit. I just wanted to share my recent experienced on leaving the puddle switch to “ON” position. I left the truck at the airport and the switch was still ON. I posted it here and another member and I believed that it will not auto shut off. Since I wasn’t coming back for couple of days I asked my GF to check it out for me. Luckily I have a @N2DesignsInc remote/module subscription to monitor the batt and unlock the truck remotely. I wasn’t really worried about the batt because of LED. Just thought it might overheat if left on for three days. When she got to the truck eight hours later the puddle lights weren’t on anymore…She toggled the switch to Auto for me. I forgot to ask her if the lights still works.
    I got back last night and figured I should test it if it does turn off by itself after a few hours…and It does! I guess my 2019 OR has some kind of auto shut off feature that’s tied in with the maps/dome lights?? I thought these puddle lights and switch has their own independent power source. But I’m glad to find out that nothing to worry about if I left the switch to ON position again.:hattip:

    P.S.
    I have the Front VLED Footwells, V5 mirror Amber switchbacks, puddle lights with switch by @MESO.

    I would but already gave mine away.

    I wonder why most all have the driver side come off? Still have the passenger side if anyone needs it.
