    Check the fuse labeled dome, replace if blown.

    My question is I had replaced that fuse which is a 7.5 with a 10. Is that ok? or not good?

    Personally I would not recommend that. The reason they have specific amperage on the fuses is so the fuses blow before the wire melts. If you put in 10 over the 7.5, you may run into that issue, so be careful. The wires they use might have enough tolerance to handle the 10, but I don't know for sure.

    I guess I should have done quick Google search 1st. Seems you are very right. REPLACE WITH CORRECT FUSE ONLY PEOPLE. About to go pick up an assorted box of fuses. Always good having some extras readily available.
    The worse part is, I had brought to a Toyota and tech had me replace the blown one with that 10. :facepalm:

    They want you to melt some wires so they can charge you for more things to fix

    @MESO Well the 7.5 dome fuse looks fine. I replaced it with a 5 amp I had and same issue. I’m wondering where to go next. I tried reversing the polarity of my Meso ultimate dome bulb insert and nothing...bummed lol

    I'm doing the same. Originally I was waiting to get some Dynamat since I was going to have the doors apart. Now I'm waiting for the switch to do everything all at once

    It’s like Christmas Eve, waiting for Santa Clause to come. Hey Stew, do you like milk and cookies?

    So I'm in a bit of a pickle, not with my truck though.

    I installed my puddle lights since the the original release and they're still working great.

    About a month ago I installed another set on my uncle's 18 Pro, they worked great for about 3 weeks until lately. He's had the dome and ign 2 fuses blow. He claims it's when he opens and closes the passenger door.
    I
    took the passenger side apart and made sure there was enough slack in the line, also double checked the plugs to make sure they are tight and that there is no water leakage.

    Everything is fine for a few days and then the fuses blow again. He's about at wits end and is reaching the point where he wants to just take them off. Has anyone else run into this issue? Again, I installed his the same way I installed mine and mine are working fine to this day.

    Same to all of that but also trying to wait on v5 turns- anyone know where the plug that connects the turns to the puddles is (future proofing he has mentioned)? If it’s in the mirror I may just do it but if it’s in a more difficult to access area I will probably wait

    Yes they will match the sequence of the Morimoto XB

    It will be in the door panel. Basically my puddle(and turn) harness goes form the a-pillar, through the door boot, and into the door. From there it has 2 connections;
    1)puddle lights
    2)V5 turn signal(future)

    I see from the website that the Puddle lights will drop this weekend. I will be tubing down the Salt River here in AZ so looks like I will have to take a waterproof pouch so I can monitor the drop and get mine before they sell out. Hope there is signal on the river, would hate to miss another Meso drop.
    :fingerscrossed:
