    Is it possible to add a switch to these? I was wondering if the Meso puddle switch would also control these if it was connected before the splitter? Not a big deal I just like being able to turn off all my lights if needed.

    These are FINALLY coming back into stock! We've got a few sets of Red and a few Aqua here on hand at Hotshot Offroad if folks have been waiting for a reload.

    Do these sets still include the puddle pod harness?

    No, this next round of harnesses will not include the puddle pod splitter as a standard piece. I'll update the first page. You will need to purchase them separately here:
    https://www.vleds.com/replacement-parts/footwell/fwk-m-puddle-pod-splitter.html

    There were not enough people using them and we viewed it as an unnecessary expense to about 90%+ of the customer base :thumbsup:

    So what exactly do I need to do for this? Probably way over my head. Thanks

    Thanks for the update, I saw that on the other thread but was not sure with the timing of these would have it or not.

    I've had Aqua's on order since the end of March from Runnin 4 Tacos. Will they get stock from this batch?

    Yes I believe they should be able to fulfill their backorders with this recent batch.

    I have both, these in the taco and DD in my wife’s RDX. I really like DD stuff, but it’s a different solution. I’m not a big fan of their solution. If you really want the ability to modify colors, then that works. But they are fixed output and on/off depending on how you tap them for power. Install was honestly a bit harder on the RDX.

    This kit is top notch. I do wish I could lower the static light level just a little. Perhaps a little film would help.

    edit: PS, the Bluetooth connection is kinda cool and fun. The wife changes it up every month or so. When she remembers.

    Oh, and my experience:
    • Saw thread
    • Watched thread
    • Ordered
    • Impressed with quality
    • Installed
    • Pleased with outcome
    That’s my story.

    I waited to let all you guys get your hands on them first b/c I knew it'd be a slow install for me.
    But now that the masses are satisfied I'll get my grubby mitts on these. I'm tired of the interrogation bright map lights in my face. But I want some light at night when I open the door.

    You could interrupt the map lamps illumination by adding an on/off switch at R44_15 and leaving the push to ON selected.

    The landscaper’s yard is never the pretty one, amiright?

    Also, I expected a sellout and wanted everyone to get a chance before me.
