    Won't lie, really looking forward to your latest work @mesojdm but really appreciate your honesty where you're at on it. You're doing me a solid by offering to fix these crappy lights. Do what you need to in a time frame that works for you. Thanks again

    @mesojdm "A wave of Gassholes has consumed me". Definitely one of my top 5 favorite quotes I have read on TW. Ha.

    Sorry if this has been answered already, but what is the difference between stages 1 and 2?

    Also, I'm definitely buying one of them.

    Put another stage 1 kit on today. I timed myself this time..2min 30sec.:D
    Truly PnP!

    Testing VLED's New LPR Reverse light system(Full disclaimer; they did send it to me for free for test and review)
    [​IMG]

    I did some lux and beam pattern tests, and so far I'm pretty impressed. Looks like an array of 3535's. I'll do a review somewhere else, but this is an awesome bolt on solution for additional backup lighting without drilling holes in bumper, etc.

    Good VS Better. About double the light output. But also comes with a higher price tag and there is a minor modification needed to the tail light hole for stage 2


    Actually have a set inbound so I can create a double switchback kit:D:D

    Meso doesn't do any preorders or lists. Last time he tried that something went down (I don't know what happened). So it's a first come first serve.

    I know everyone is anxious! But they will be ready for purchase soon. As much as I'd like to take money...I will not do preorders. Sorry guys :/.
    I have a feeling I won't be making enough...
