    For anyone that has installed the puddle pods, does this look like the correct 10" extension that connects to the light itself? These were the only shorter cables included in my kit. I sent a message to Meso but thought yall might have some insight while I wait.

    Ahhh, thank you! I was going crazy trying to figure out what the other connector was for.

    IIRC, didn't MESO change the design so it doesn't need that connector, but instead uses a DRL split from the front headlights?

    What you’re thinking of is the revision if you want the V5’s to be controlled by the stalk for on-off. If not, then the pigtails would work and be hot all the time (ignition wired).

    Finished mine up a few days ago. What a pain in the ass pulling that wire was! Worth it though, super happy with the finished product.

    Dumb question, does the Meso Puddle kit interfere with warranty at all?

    long thick zip tie and a little water and dawn spray do wonders.

    Nothing crazy!
    My Meso puddle pods suddenly stopped working. They were working just fine. I think the trouble startes when i installed the Meso swicth for them. The switch worked fine and then would not work sometimes. Now nothing works. I sent a request to Meso. I hope they send me a replacement kit. I love all of their products, but it's a headache when some of the things stop working on the car.

    Maybe something came loose? You check your ground?

    I had issue with grounding on mine -- definitely check the ground, especially if the connection is bent.

    For any lighting Gurus…will the puddle pods circuit able to handle if I add a pair of VLED MaxPods on the mirror cover facing forward?
    I currently have V5 turns, puddle pods/switch and V1 footwells in the A-pillar.
