    Does anyone know what size of a screw the Meso puddle pod led light takes? I just noticed I am missing the four small screws/washers that attach the light pod to the plastic housing. I’ve already emailed Meso and am sure they will just send me some, but if it’s something I can easily find, I wouldn’t mind to just pick up a couple.

    I had not seen that thread. The kit uses one bulb which has both white and orange in one socket. So far, I'm happy with it. It was really easy to install once you watch their installation video.

    I got to install my factory headlight bulbs today. My passenger side HID went out, when I investigated it, I found the contacts on the plug all fuzzy and green. So Im guessing water got into the plug and burned out that side. I sprayed it all out and put some dielectric grease in there.

    Thinking of ordering some LED bulbs this time to replace the HID since i have OEM LED fogs already.

    These are the ones Im thinking of getting

    I had thought about those ones, I just have a hard time taking a company serious when their packaging looks like it was designed by a 11 year who loves transformers. But then again, never judge a book by its cover.

    I’ve been running them for a year now and have been happy. Buy them on sale for $55-$65 though.

    They go on sale quite often. I’ve seen them as low as $45. Agreed on the packaging, it’s not the greatest. With that said, for an LED, they’re very good!

    Pretty good! There is a noticeable lag when making phone calls, but not too bad. I still haven’t figured out how to retain steering wheel button function while using Amazon music. Sometimes the buttons work, sometimes they don’t.

    I ordered the same cable. Would’ve done it earlier if Amazon would’ve prompted it. I was sorta hoping the cable supplied would have had a shorty option in there.

    Looking good. Did you leave the overload spring on? I put mine back on under the AAL over the weekend. I was re-torquing the bolts today when I realized... I put the overloads on the opposite sides! Ugh. Not sure how much of an issue that is, if any?? The only thing I see visually is that the U-clip on the spring sits closer to the other leafs on one side.
