    So my Meso design light is here. Now to get my KC lights for it. I'm thinking 1 red, 4 clear. They get too close, hit the bed lights. Seems folks don't have a sense of private space anymore, driving or when I'm walking around. I won't do that, be my dang luck it's a cop. LOL

    You know an ever increasing bunch of them wouldn't get a clue I was stopping. I remember a maintenance guy getting told by the safety guy to make a machine idiot proof. His response was, I did make it idiot proof, we're hiring dumber idiots. Classic

    You kid... but I seriously thought about doing that and getting 4 of those white button lights to stick on the cover of the centerbolt holes. That is.... once I get my hands on one. :annoyed:

    They look like a small version of the old police lights or the old dome LEDs, but the size of your pinky tip.

    Yep, but they were sticky-back surface mount, so it would be really just routing the thin wire. I think 1/2-3/4 OD. Probably the equivalent of MESOs v1 map lights.

    It would be cool to get purple or blue ones so it would act like the old blue dots.

    ....or have red ones as running lights.
    I’ve noticed a few raptors where the third brake is also a red running light.

    Yup...even the older raptors had the 3 red running lights in the 3rd brake(IIRC)
    Great...now we are going to imitate them even further and get flamed:bananadead:

    Ha true!

    You need to make a raptor plastics kit!

    I'm very curious what these are looking like on your trucks. So far I believe only one member has posted the installed version. Those of you who have installed this, can you take some pics from a few angles for us? I'd love to see how the bed illuminates, what the red looks like from the tail, etc. Thank you kindly!
