2016+: Let's build a new headlight from scratch...

Should have a production ready light in 2-3 weeks. Not sure what else there is to say in the mean time. The pics below show a rather large gap along the top of the light, which has been documented and fixed in tooling.

@mesojdm may be getting a set of lights to tear apart and customize too

More pics for you guys if you haven't seen them already:









We're also underway with the tooling on the new Tundra and 4Runner lights too

 

You're a peach.

 

@TRSAndrew when will taillights be ready? Also is there a group buy?

 

MESO "edition" gonna be a winner

 

No group buy unfortunately. Tails will be probably Summer 2019.

Low beam



High beam

 

Assuming the output between these and the F150 is similar, they’re pretty insane. The DRL is intense.

 

Output almost as good as their $50 profile D2S projectors. Probably as good as the $20 ACME mini H1's.

 

...then you should have been more clear in your wants.
I'm not sure who owns their test truck, but some dark road shots would be nice. Subjective on the type of camera used, etc. I would personally like to see a distance/throw comparison to a set of PnP HIDs from TRS in OEM housings.

 

Be as picky as you want while I don't have any housings to test with.

 

Nice looking headlights, but no way in hell I would pay that much for a set of headlights.

Call me cheap, but in the meantime I'll stay tuned and consider purchasing when they're half that price.

 

@TRSAndrew are you able to tell us the lux reading from the wall shots? I'm curious to know what the meter picked up in that hotspot.

 

Meh, compared to having a company customize OEM it's comparable in price if not lower depending. Those who are savvy enough to perform headlight mods on their own don't usually buy aftermarket headlights anyway.

 

Or those crazy enough will buy these and rip them apart

 

Unless you pick them up used they probably won't be half price.

 

This is for a good cause.

 

We all knew this was inevitable.

 

No. But! Only because the entire housings including projector were 3D printed on that housing. The LEDs were tuned down as to not cause heat-related damage with prolonged use. I should have actual first-run production units here in about 2 weeks I can check before sending them off to @mesojdm

 

4Runners are also in the pipeline...

 

Nice love to get my hands on those 4Runner headlights
