    Fold it into an S/Z shape and compress it into a square block then shove it all back in

    Unclip the big gray connector that is attatched to the pillar. Push it DOWN into the dash cavity. The upper harness will now push down and sit where the lower one was.

    Definitely a much better method with no bulging in the A pillar.

    The part that sucks is that the other (white) connector is connected to the gray one and then both sets of wires are taped together all the way up the a-pillar and partly down into the dash. I need to see if I can separate them enough down the dash to push the dome wire bundle down. I tried the s/z option on the upper portion, but it seems to make my dome circuit act a little funky.

    Really glad I got these done a few months ago. Lately it’s been around 105 in my garage and humid.

    Hope everyone who got a set has a smooth install!! Cheers taco buddies!

    Well, they work and I love em. Better pics later. Had a few minor issues but all in all it wasn't too bad. The installation guide from Meso and the YouTube video by Project Onix were very beneficial. The passenger side was easier to me.

    Yes. They will come on all the time. He is making a switch to override this like the bed light.

    Tacospike,
    Thank you, I was thinking that's what the Meso Switch was for that reason :thumbsup:

    I was an hour late and a dollar short on this one as I have a little bit of a bulge. I got it the best I could and decided to live with it. Your advice is brilliant. I will wait for the switch and follow your advice on that install

    EC3A1831-9CB2-4BC6-A7F4-54DD8EC61C57.jpg I was trying to install them but I had bad luck they shipped me two left pod cases.
    Contacting Meso to see if I can have the right side case to complete my install.

    PM incoming.
    BTW, you can still do the entire install, and leave the pigtail inside the bottom mirror cavity. Snap the stock cover back on, and when I get you out the correct plastic it’s an easy swap.
