    Oh I think you are referring to the second small wire coming out of the switchback bulb itself. It is not used

    @mesojdm PnP reverse circuit harness to add aux backup lights without having to Tap harness? Although I feel okay t-tapping the stage 1 harness over the factory harness...

    What ever happened with the puddle lights?

    Dang. I just paid above retail for a Stage 2. To be honest, I didn't think twice about it. I mean, demand drives price in the open market, right? :(

    But it's not an open market. There is no competition or suitable substitute and supply was extremely limited. So this is scalping pure and simple and you sir are complicit. I can wait a couple weeks for Meso to restock instead of encouraging these a-holes. :mad:

    I hear where you're coming from, and respect your position.

    From a strictly objective point of view, I guess I don't necessarily find fault with a potential buyer offering more than the original cost if he/she has the financial means, or can't camp on a Meso thread for hours in the small chance of making a purchase before items are out of stock. I would argue that other one off / high demand items on BST occasionally follow the same course: higher bidding takes place.

    Now that's it's been brought to my attention, I can see how scalping is frowned upon, especially within the TW community. I'll make an effort to be more conscientious about that with future transactions.

    I appreciate your input.

    I think there are some differences between reselling and "flipping" IMO. It all comes down to the buyers hidden agenda or motivation(which we may never know)
    example;
    Say you purchased a kit, and ended up going a different direction like a CrapJET LED tail light from ebay. Or maybe you purchased an extra kit for a friend and he bailed on you.. etc.
    Selling it for MSRP (or maybe a FEW bucks more) just to cover your time/cost/shipping. I would consider reselling and perfectly fine.
    Now on the other hand.. say you purchased multiple kits(2,3,4+) knowing full well as soon as you get the kits from MESO, they would go right back to the marketplace and list for a higher price.(for whatever reason; offset your cost, pocket more money, whatever). That is Flipping, which I do not encourage.
    Are there people that will gladly pay an inflated price? You bet. But this forum is more like a community and I feel doing that to other members(although not against forum policy) is just bad karma. In the end... you can do what you want with my parts.
    But I highly suggest you install them;)

    Have any fellow drivers of Tacos asked anyone about the Total Tail kit upon seeing it in action? I was behind a stock Taco around 5 PM and those lights were dismal at best...

    Running lights, white /amber switchbacks. Plug and play..

    I'm in line for a kit.

    It just happened to be bath time for my son.... I missed the drop by two minutes. I scored a harness.

    Honestly most taco owners wouldn’t even notice. There are a small percentage of us that like to modify and enhance our trucks... those are the people that will notice the kit

    For sure... Myself and a friend plan out maintenance/mods well in advance, especially when welding and swapping out engines.

    Thank you
