    Forgot to post pics when I got back.

    Just with lights on:

    Brake lights (both top and bottom lit):

    Right turn signal (amber in the reverse bucket):

    Didn’t take pics of the reverse lights. Basically just looks like reverse lights, but brighter than stock.

    Lights definitely look better in person. These pictures don’t do them justice.

    I just picked up some brighter contrast 7443 brake light bulbs from deAutoLED. Suppose to be brighter than the bulbs that come in the MESO kit. I guess we’ll see.

    Sick diamondback, I have the hd one and love mines.

    I’ve been trying to get his tail light kit but, both times I was heading to work when meso released it. Hopefully I get em on the next run.

    I have them, brighter and no chrome on it.

    Thanks, I picked up the diamondback during the last group buy. Had it for about 2 months now. I do like it. It’s definitely built like a tank and I think it looks nice, but I’ve already ran into 2 situations where I needed full access to my bed. I was definitely missing my roll-up cover those 2 times.

    Yeah, MESO mods always sell out so fast. Always have to plan out my day and constantly refresh his post or website. Good luck on the next drop!

    Love the MESO turn signals. I currently have the MESO limited edition turns and a V3 turn as a spare set. I’m looking forward to the V5 turns to drop....switchback sequential is going to look awesome!

    Thanks for the support. I will follow to see updates. I have a feeling you will really love the brighter 7443 deAutoLED has out right now! They are a big difference.
    They have a small sale going on now for the 7443 found here

    Thanks again for the support and trust in deAutoLED

    Been busy lately so I’ve been sitting on my deAutoLED 7443 bulbs for a couple weeks now and finally got around to installing them today. The deAutoLED bulbs are brighter than the bulbs that came with the V1 Meso taillight kit. They’re not substantially brighter, but they are definitely brighter. Would be interesting to compare these to the vled 7443 bulbs in the V2 Meso kit, I’m guessing they would be similar in brightness? I definitely like the contrast between taillight and brake light on the deAutoLED bulbs. Here are some photo’s:
    (Meso V1 on the left and deAutoLED on the right)
    Taillight:

    Brake light:
    68824B9B-8977-4AB8-AE0D-637637FED49D.jpg

    Edit: By the way, if you look at my last post those photos were taken late in the day when the sun was on it’s way down so the taillights look much brighter than today’s photos which were taken in the middle of the afternoon with the sun blazing.

    I just got my stage 2 from another TW member and I like these a lot. I like the look of amber turn signals, should help others on the road also. You guys think this will pass safety? Not sure since both reverse and turn signals can’t be on at the same time. Thought of that after installing these.

    Nope . Doesn't matter as long as you have working lights. Lots of new cars now have switchbacks.
    Why do you need reverse and turn at same time ?
