    Did I miss the price on the Stage 2 kit or are we not supposed to ask that question? Also, what kind of life expectancy should we see from the VLED's? I guess I'll be F5ing along with everyone else tomorrow.

    I offer a 1 year warranty on my bulbs. I have made extra just in case. VLED's will carry the factory warranty (3yr IIRC) though the company.
    $240 Stage 2
    $110 Stage 1
    I have been running Tritons for a few years and also Have some on my putt-putt Grom and haven't had any issues with them.

    Working on it:) Which stage?

    Stage 2. I believe... I have Triton switchbacks, your adapters, and some Morimoto or VLED (I cant remember) bulbs for the brake/running lights. I do not have the resistors for the Tritons though, I was not sure if I would need them.

    @mesojdm in your opinion which led brake/tail you think is better of the (2) diodes dynamics or vleds? I’m thinking of changing out the brake/tail to LED. I mean the stock non led bulb Does the job (no hot spots in the C) but I wanna jump on the bandwagon.

    Yupp, I understand that's old news and all, but I finally did this mod! I used some JDM Astar bulbs I bought off Amazon a year ago, and 10 Ohm resistors . Nice and bright, full "C" lights up - exactly what I wanted.



    Now back to your anticipated MESO product release!
