Hi guys! I’m seeing a lot of questions about this VLED bar being compatible with the MESO Customs Total Tail Stage 1 mod. The answer is yes! You would just install the VLED breakout harness BEFORE the MESO harness. In fact, the MESO Total Tail bulbs use the same VLED chip as what I’ve shown in this video. I hope this helps for anyone wondering and THANK YOU as always for watching 😊😎

Hi Chloe, I just want to take a minute to say that your videos are absolutely, hands-down the clearest instructions and best edited of any I have seen. Kudos to you for taking on some pretty serious projects on your own! I will admit some of them are out of my comfort level currently but if I do try them later I will definitely be watching your videos on how to do it. They are my go to to figure out anything about my truck and what I want to do to it. I have a 2020 Tacoma and only yesterday received my VLED LP reverse light. I wanted to look at a video as opposed to just the ‘still shot’ pictures for installation shown on the VLED site. When I saw that you had put up a video for the installation of same item I was getting ready to install I was so excited because I knew that one was going to be the best one for me to watch. Thank you for doing such an amazing job and providing us all with the best and clearest instructional videos around. John H

Hi Chloe, Thank you so much for the amazing videos. I bought a new TRD Off Road back in June of 2019 and have barely 6k miles on it. Watching your videos gave me the confidence to start installing mods and upgrades to my taco. I have ordered the VLEDS license plate reverse kit and the VLEDS 921 reverse bulbs (currently on back order) expect them in early May! I also installed the Tacoma Lifestyle sequential mirror leds blacked out version, also the Baja Designs Squadron SAE clear fog lights. I have ordered the Stainless Steel Miller Cat shield as well, a big thanks for that video! Will also be getting the fuel tank skid as well, your videos really help a DIY'er like myself and many others! I too, like you, plan on keeping my taco. Please continue to review and install quality products that makes owning a taco enjoyable!

I have an older house with a garage that is only a few inches deeper in length than my Taco. I back in so I can use the rear camera to get as close to the back wall as possible so I can clear the garage door. This kit will be perfect for me. Thanks for sharing.

Looks bad ass on the Army Green Taco! Even have the cab / cargo (3rd brake light) on its way that's LED and smoked lens. I like backing my truck in the driveway at night, this mod will be very helpful!

I was wondering about the backup lights, so you made my decision easy. I just installed a hidden the 32” light bar from Cali Raised and really love them. You may want to take a peak as they really provide excellent light and Finnish off the full led look for the Tacoma. Thanks for making the video! Ed

I have to totally agree about your stance on VLEDS. On my Frontier I tested literally 11 brands of led bulbs and all of them were trash until I found VLEDS. Hands down the best quality I’ve experienced and I’ve bought tons of stuff from them ever since as a result. Have not had a failure either. Just got a Tacoma and planning on the LP for it! The Meso tail kit has been out of stock forever. I’m thinking about using VLEDS 921 amber sim the reverse housing and doing a conversion on the reds myself to make them all running lamp and all brake. Turn signals would be below, and reverse would be ONLY the LP kit. Do you think the LP kit would be enough by itself for good night visibility?

thanks Chloe. Looks like a easy mod. And very useful one. I would of left one Halogen light in place as backup light, just to show us the difference in brightness, before changing them both out. Also, are your license plate lights in rear bumper LED? They do not look like they are. Maybe that can be a future video.

@KrinklingPlasticBits Жыл бұрын

After watching this I went ahead and got the full reverse setup minus the frame and also the footwell lights. Wish there was a discount code, they’re pricey but they work great! On the footwell lights, I misunderstood and thought that the modes were switchable. I’d prefer them to be off when the doors are closed, they only go dim. I situated them high up and off to sides so they’re muted

That is a slick mod. I like that light. Couple of concerns...does the license plate LED strip wash out your camera...another video you use a relay to cut out the license plate lights due to washout. And the other is the temperture of the back up bulbs...due they run hot where the temp will effect the lense...do they have a fan in the bulbs? Thanks for the video

Chloe, on your 2019 OR you installed a relay kit to turn off the license plate lights while in reverse to keep from saturating the backup camera. Seems the new led strip over the licence plate will cause the same issue. I'm going to install the Diode Dynamic SC1 pods under my bumper for more light, they will be on a switch and not bkup light controlled. I think with under the bumper the light should be less likely to saturate the backup camera.
