    Finally got the last piece of the puzzle over the weekend. Meso JDM Stage 2 Tail light harness. Been building this package since early 2018. 3F691E4A-20DB-49B0-A325-1744D4ECD8E7.jpg

    This harness quality is factory or better. Put it this way it’s legit as fuck!
    893C6E3C-888A-41AE-B160-9520632B6351.jpg

    I didn’t have any fancy tools to open up the factory light socket. So I had to improvise the method of just using a razor knife. Here’s what I did to make it easy. And it’s up to you. But it was like using a hot knife cutting butter.
    I heated up the blade and carved the inner lip out so the new Meso JDM socket adapter will snap right in.

    Once it fits. Remove the adapter and run a bead of JB weld (I used plastic bonding tube in black) and push it back in. Allow the recommended drying time before twisting in the clad switchback bulbs.
    700F605F-AC80-4EC9-B7EA-78B41986E7F0.jpg

    I installed the Vled resistor pack above the reverse light bucket. *** note - I had to remove mines after because it was not needed. You will know. When you test your blinker it will not work. I think it’s becuase I don’t have any other turn signal Led bulbs installed.***
    A10C130E-57B3-4D16-8284-FE4F7BFE06E9.jpg

    The harness is super straight forward. Plug and play.
    5125F4CE-4CD3-45F4-A054-4D9758740DDA.jpg

    Only tools needed to remove the taillight was a 10mm socket.
    0542908B-9524-48D9-924D-73B5782EF943.jpg

    The factory harness plugs right into the Meso Jdm harness.
    CBB0AC9A-4C6C-4EC4-9710-D03D093994D6.jpg

    It was super retarded easy! Plug it in and button it back up.
    AF0124C3-2437-4A02-B641-0722D7828777.jpg

    You now brought sexy back into the newer Tacoma’s by adding them amber rear turn signal!!!

    Over the Meso Jdm Stage 2 harness on a scale 1-10 is straight up 11!!! Thanks again for making another outstanding product! I didn’t post a video of the lights in action becuase we all know already what it looks like as many have been posted here!

    Thanks you Stew!!! Now I need to do my headlight corner switch back! :) from Hawaii with Love!

    Can you take picture of the brake lights at daytime?
    I want to see how much brighter it is.

    I didn’t updgrade the brake/tail lights to the LED. It’s the regular factory bulbs. But I can definitely do a daytime shot for you tomorrow.

    That’s what’s up!:hattip:
    I can’t take all the credit... the Tritons really light up the bowl.

    Have you know...each and every harness is hand wrapped in Tessa tape by yours truely. I have a certain OCD when it comes to cable management.
