Anyone buy the new MESO/Morimoto LED Tail Lights?

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/meso-x-morimoto-full-led-tail-lights.732686/

Anyone local to the Seattle area pick a set of these up? I'd be interested in seeing a set in person. I'm hesitant to blow the cash, considering I've heard the turn signals are not very bright. One of the things I love about my Stage 1's are the incredibly bright amber turn signals, which I value as a safety feature.

Be happy to buy you a coffee or a beer for your time!

 

Yeah they are pretty badass but I went cheap and just added a opt7 led tailgate light bar which ended up being a lot nicer than I expected . With it being sequential and a mega back up light I was sold . People definitely know when I'm signaling to turn now .

 

Yes. The signals are a bit dim in the daylight, but not insanely dim.

I really wish MESO had used switchbacks in the reverse bucket, like his OG lights and his ultimate tails.

 

They look good

 

To non-third gen owners, all of those look identical.

 

I've heard the red lenses cut down on the turn signal brightness. Anyone pick up the clear lens version?

 

They certainly do, but not anything worse than stock.

I think @Formidable might have the clears...

Here are the clears installed against my AG DCLB. Very happy with them thus far!

 

FYI... Not mine.

 

Thanks for meeting up @Formidable!

Here's the side beside comparison. I'm afraid it's too much of a functional downgrade in brightness for me, despite the superior aesthetics. Maybe if sequential LED's were added to the reverse reflector area to boost the visual signature of the turn signal, I'd be interested in a set, but that would probably push the cost over $1000. Or just commit to red and boost the brightness.

Nice meeting you today. I totally agree that the signals and the reverse lights are not as bright as the Meso Stage 1 and 2 upgrades as the video demonstrates…

However, here’s the catch… They are still a pretty significant upgrade over the OEM halogens. The Stage 1 and 2 turn signals and reverse lights are literally blinding from directly behind. I know because I owned the stage 2’s before. Lol… Not necessarily a bad thing… Just really hard for anything on the market to compete with from a performance perspective… period. As much as you are happy with stage 1’s and saving the cash, I am happy with my set of Meso LED tails.

Again, pleasure meeting with you today.
