MESO Total Tail Light Kit

Got mine today as well but going to wait till next week to install

 

Yeah. Didn’t want to not install them then need them. They’re so small and there’s ample room behind the tail light housings.

 

hmmm @mesojdm, mine just says "shipping label created...awaiting item"...hopefully it randomly shows up tomorrow or Monday.

 

Very good point. Thanks

 

What color temp are the white side of the switchbacks for each stage?

 

Received my stage 1's today (I'm in Los Angeles, so reasonably close to MESO), and installed them. I also had some difficulty twisting the turn/reverse LED to lock, so I used a wrench (gently) and that made it easy.

I am a little uncertain about the difference in contrast between running lights and brake lights... I just looked at this a little in the garage, so it's hard to judge... I hope these LEDs were looked at carefully enough in real-world driving situations and that there's enough contrast that when brakes are applied it's very clear to other drivers.

 

All the stage 1’s shipped Wednesday. I am not sure why some are not showing up in USPS’s system. But rest assured I did drop them of at the post office.
All stage 2’s(minus 7443) were dropped off and shipped today.

Stage 1 is closer to 6k, stage 2 is 5k

Yes the bulb is a little tight due to the harder durometer rubber o-ring. You can swap over the stock one from the OEM reverse socket if you’d like, other wise just use a small wrench to help lock it in tight. But once it’s in, it it’s sealed.
For the contrast between running and brake I think there is a noticeable difference. The running light is brighter than stock, but so is the brake. As for what % difference I am not sure. Did the install go smooth?

 

I'm in Redding. I'll just drive down Sunday and throw money at you .......

 

Thanks for the reply! Yes, the install went really well. Heading up to mammoth this weekend, so looking forward to breaking them in

 

Just got the Stage 1 this afternoon and installed them a short bit ago. Install was straightforward and the results are great. Thank you good sir!

 

When are the stage 1's in stock again?

 

@mesojdm can I preorder a stage 2 wiring harness and triton adaptors?

 

In my case, all I had to do was turn a little harder and it seated nice and snug.

My only tip is the vhb tape didn’t really hold, I just added some 3m tape and easypesey.

Stewart’s record is safe with me, I took about 30 minutes for both lol!

@mesojdm is a kind hearted tinkerer who always has something cooking in his mad scientist workshop.

 

...and thus a need to keep scoundrels and vermin out!
(Yep, cool dude).

 

@mesojdm I think I got a C-grade harness

One of my 4 7443 bulbs was not activating properly, so I tried swapping bulbs around and still had the same problem in the same location on the harness. Fortunately, I was lucky to snag two tail light kits from you. I swapped the problematic harness with another harness from my second set and the problem was fixed. But that leaves me with one kit with at least one problematic harness.

Any ideas? The problematic location essentially lights the bulb up at full brightness and nothing changes with brake application.

Here's video showing what I'm describing. Notice the left bottom brake light:



EDIT: MESO is taking care of me and sending a new harness. Excellent products AND service!

 

Pics are for rookies. How about video with epic music?



Don't mind the exposure variation. That's my thumb on the iPhone screen countering the brightness of MESO's lights.

 

When's the next batch?!?!?!
