    Ya the amber drl’s sold out quicker than I thought. Although I didn’t have many compared to the white, I didn’t think they would be that popular. Guess I know for the next run!

    No that's live all the time but I believe what it does mean is that the turn signal DRLs do not have high and dim inputs, you just have to pick one of the two

    Anybody know how the DRL’s will behave when connected to to the V2 puddle pods, will they be on all the time, come on only when puddles come on, or come on only when stock drl’s are on? I’ve searched but don’t see this info anywhere I’ve looked

    Ultimate LED turn signals | Page 486 | Tacoma World

    Hey guys,
    Just to give an overall update and some background on the email I sent out....
    I know the V5’s have been a long journey. Many factors have contributed to it’s delay. When this project first started a long long time ago I was doing the full design myself(I.e circuit boards, led layout, wiring, optics, plastics, etc). They ended up getting neglected last year as new projects hit my desk and took priority. Then throw COVID in the mix which screwed up some of my supply for components.
    Fast forward to mid/late 2020 and I was fortunate enough to hook up with Morimoto to help bring this project to completion. Rebooted the V5 and we ended up throwing all original designs out the window. Testing a bunch of different prototypes and ultimately settling on a final design which I am pretty stoked on. (Both function and output).
    So where does it stand now?? As I mentioned this is a collaboration with MESO + MORIMOTO. I am supplying all the plastics, outside lens, etc. as they are my molds...the same as the ultimate turn signals(although there are some slight changes in the mold for the extra wires which most customers won’t even notice).
    Then the plastics get shipped to Morimoto where they are producing and assembling all the internal components. There will be TWO VERSIONS available on the V5’s.
    1) WHITE DRL / AMBER TURN
    2) AMBER DRL / AMBER TURN
    As much as I wanted the white/amber to be user configurable and switch to amber/amber it just wasn’t possible and required a new specific led board. Not a big deal, just 2 different SKUS to stock.
    At this time, the plastics have all been produced and Morimoto is assembling them as we speak.

    The reason for the email asking what headlights you have is I am taking these 1 step further and including a full PnP wiring kit for the DRL to work correctly. Whatever headlights you “upgraded” to whether it be OEM 2020 LED(with adapter harness), Morimoto, Alphrex, etc. doesn’t matter. All that matters is is what connector your truck came with since my T harness is going to be plugging into your STOCK DRL CONNECTOR behind the headlight. 16-20 are the typical 4 pin connector, 2020+ OEM LED use a 6 pin connector. Now you are probably asking... what about my puddle pods that are prewired?! Yes.. they will still work and you can wire the V5 to the unused 2 pin plug next to the puddle pod. *HOWEVER* the DRL will turn ON/OFF with the truck IGNITION only. For most people this is fine. But if you want the mirror signals to be controlled with the DRL switch on the steering column(like the headlights) unfortunately this circuit/wiring is not available in the A-pillar...which is where the puddles are tapped off. That will require you to run a new line into the engine bay and use the T harness behind the headlights. Hope this makes sense feel free to ask me any questions :D

    Just a FYI.
    It’s showing AMBER sold out, but I will have some more available once we get through all the orders. I removed a good portion off inventory because we had so many people emailing wanting to change colors. So I’m waiting till the dust settles to see how many are left and I will list them. Thanks!

    If you go with the white will you keep me in mind for the amber? I didn't get the email and missed out.

    Great rundown and appreciate the update, considering how busy things are at the moment. You did say feel free to ask questions, so my question...When do you think the T-Harnesses will be released, both 6-pin and 4-pin? Definitely not trying to be a PITA, but willing to delay V5 install if harnesses aren't too far off. That way, we don't need to do all kinds of wonky wire taps to get the V5 DRLs sync'd with LEDs.
