    What you see is all I got.

    I’ll update whatever I see. But can only imagine it will be some pretty cool stuff either in esthetics or function or both :confused:

    maybe the reverse bucket as a switchback reverse and turn might be added. Again, pure speculation

    Hoping for a Satin Black version. Kind of excited for switchback turns in the reverse bucket. Since it is three sets of LEDs for the top and bottom of the bucket, I wonder if a funky sequential can be done. Imagined it would look like sirens with the hazards up.

    If the brake light is no longer a switchback, it is possible for much brighter brakes! Looking forward to see what Meso changes up on these limiteds.

    I am extremely bummed with the lack of brightness of the turns in sunlight. My buddy driving behind me has said the only way he knows I'm turning sometimes is because it looks like 1 of my brake lights went out. NGL, hoping the limited run that comes out has an answer to the turn signal brightness, and I will scoop a set up no hesitation.

    Love the design of everything else, just really wish the turns were brighter..

    I think the problem with low brightness of turns is the red housing filtering out a lot of the amber and also the thin profile of those LED strips.
    I wouldn't mind if there's an alternative version of these using switchback LED bulbs in the location of reverse light, that should be plenty bright just as total tail stage 1 or 2

    @MESO
    So some bad news for my Meso tail lights.
    I was about to head out to work and found the driver side dangling. 20220819_130745.jpg 20220819_130749.jpg 20220819_130759.jpg 20220819_131029.jpg

    The plastic was incredibly brittle and doesn't look to be repairable via plastic welding. So kind of out of a taillight for the moment.

    I heard of others receiving theirs with the tabs already damaged, but I think mine might a first case of it breaking after an extended duration.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    That sucks. I wonder if at some point someone bumped into it with their body or a bag in a parking lot or something causing cracks until it finally gave out. :notsure:

    I thought that may be the case.
    I check the passenger side, and there are some very fine line cracks on them too, so kind of worried about them popping out.

    same thing happened to my Driver’s side this week. I emailed MESO about it and just PM’d him here today. Same exact failure. Found it dangling. Mine arrived perfect with no scratches or broken tabs so I was surprised to see this.

    Wow, it was the same side too. I'm going to be sending out an email to Meso or Travis when I get a chance later.

    Might need to check your passenger side too, as mine has some fine hairline cracks on the top post. I would be worried if those failed too and dangles.20220819_141623.jpg

    I even just tightened them to snug , so it couldn't have been over torqued.

    Same here. Deliberately didn’t over tighten. I’ll check that passenger one today

    I honestly regret buying these. They look great but I hate thinking they may crack and fall out one day. Plus one of mine has small beads of water in the bottom corner about 50% of the time. It’s been that way from the first week I installed them. They’re just not the quality that I thought I was paying a premium for.

    The customer service makes it worth it to me. I had hyperflash when I got my first set. Did some troubleshooting, sent an email, was instructed to do more troubleshooting, then I got a new set in the mail along with a return label for the original set. Any time I have had issues, @MESO's team has been there to help, whereas other companies may fight you tooth and nail before sending you a replacement completely free of charge.

    I agree. I think it'll work out just fine in the end.
