    Got my stage 1 installed yesterday. My truck was hyperflashing even though everything is stock. Put in the resistors and all was good. I love it

    Those bulbs are available on their own in various colors from VLEDs.com. The Stage 2 kit includes a custom adapter for using that Triton bulb in the modified tail light housing. If you wanted to use one of those Triton bulbs in a 7443 application (for example), there would be no adapter or modification required.

    You're confusing the conversations... he pointed out that he wasn't talking about the Stage 2 (Triton V6), but the Stage 1. There is no switchback bulb that naturally works in the housing (or more precisely... "usable brightness" bulb). @MESO had to work with the vendor to have a product made, which he creates a custom adapter. for the Stage 1 kit.

    Maybe disabling the in-stock email notifications disabled shipping notifications too?

    Maybe I got unlucky? Because my shipping code says it is still waiting to be dropped off at the post office.

    About the hardest part of the Stage 2 Install was finding a place for the new sticker. Works wicked good .

    Forgot to add. I have VLED VLR6 Resistors already hard wired in. I needed them. Have Lasfit switchback no resistor bulbs in the front. Everything else is stock.

    Received the @MESO Total tail lights stage 2, it's a really cool kit, so I installed it immediately.:D It was a 30 minute install, the part I hated was to drill out the bottom light socket port to accommodate the new switch back bulb socket, it was cringe worthy,:eek: however, I drilled with a step drill with no issues. I highly recommend this kit.

    Next week

    No resistors included in stage 2. 99.9% Of customers will not need them, so I lowered the price to reflect that:)

    Sweet! Drilling the holes out can be intimidating, but once you see the small modification that needs to be done, it's not that bad. Definitely worth it for the performance increase IMO
