    Did you add a relay for the lights though. The website says the baja lights require a relay.

    @MESO is this still available? I have a BD5, and BD4 on order now, and this would make install so much cleaner.

    The design for the housing has been done. But It's been slow progress making the actual light pod. A lot goes into making the little thing believe it or not. But this year my goal is to release the whole hex line with custom mounts/housings. :)

    Im looking to make up a nice compact wire harness for my brake light once it comes, I went with a KC5. Does anyone have or know what the OEM plug looks like on the light side? if I cant get one from MESO, Im thinking about maybe trying to find a take off from the junkyard? I only need the plug and enough wire to solder to for the KC's

    You won’t get one from a junk yard as the plug is build into the light molding. Your best option would be to cut the wires on the harness side (behind the plug) leaving some wire, and put in a quality connector. (DEUTSCH DT connectors, preferably). Then if you revert back you can simply by putting a connector on the wires you left. Or use a MESO connector as a second option. As you’ll see, the connector isn’t really designed to be used in a typical male / female with loose wires way. So while MESO connector works and saves time / hassle, it’s not as good a something like a DT connector. But still probably 100% better than the crap generic connectors you usually find.

    Ie, if you have the right tools this is what you want.

    If you don’t, this is the style that usually get used, but they are really crap. MESO would be just as good maybe even preferable.
