@Mike-cu6gk 8 месяцев назад

I installed the Meso Customs Total Tail Stage 1 ( harness), on my 2023 Tacoma SR5 v6 4x4, the OEM taillight assembly is all red no chrome at all, did not have to install resistors. The price was $150 so definitely much cheaper than replacing the taillight assembly, much brighter than OEM in all stages. My girl wants to get me custom taillights for Christmas but I’m so happy with the Meso Customs harness that I’m keeping it on the truck.

@jtgamer14 Год назад

Love this tail light comparison. I was considering the Alpharex lights but now think I'll just swap my bulbs for some super bright Vleds. It makes no sense to me to spend hundreds on lights that have less output than stock.

@Fotosynthesis858 Год назад

Honestly though: I’m thankful you posted this video because it’s made me realize that all this is merely about preference & opinion. Replacing tail lights is all about aesthetics & it really doesn’t affect the overall performance of the truck in any way. So it seems silly to me to waste money on replacing stock tail lights that work & perform perfectly as is. But I am thankful you posted this video because it’s helped me realize this. ✌🏾

I really like how thought out the function of the XTs. Just wish that the XTs reverse lights were as bright as the Meso Customs. Tough choice but the Meso Customs to have a Tundra affect to them, so my vote is for the Meso Customs! -The Spyders remind me of a GM truck taillight and the Alpha Rex are too... aftermarket looking for me.

The Alpharex's are cool and all but what I dislike the most about their taillights is that they're the same design for nearly every truck that they make taillights for, not to mention they don't have the vortex generators which is a detail I like but it's not a deal breaker. Honestly if they can make it unique to the Tacoma they can have my money cause I love the quality and startup sequence. It might not matter to most but that's just me personally. For now though I'll be going with the Meso/Morimoto's.

@tacomabeast Год назад

That’s an interesting point, we usually only deal with Tacoma parts so it’s not something we typically notice 🤷‍♂️

@kiernanfishingadventures Год назад

I actually think the two cheapest ones look the best overall. The Alpharex would be great and the function of them is awesome but I am not a fan of the smoked out lense because you can't appreciate what they look like during daylight hours, all you see is a black lense. If they were clear lense with black housing that'd be my choice

That’s a good point! We’ll relay it to alpha rex, they love taking suggestions 🤙😂

@noahlw18 Год назад

@69sound81 Год назад

Alpha rex seem a bit dimmed. I love those ultimate tail lights. Alpha rex look amazing and they contribute to that look you are going after, but the stop LED brightness is way too dimmed. Reverse can be fized quite easily, you are for sure going to put a nice steel bumper there and you can mount a nice set of flood ligts wired up to the reverse signal, maybe even a below tailgate LED strip if you are planning on leaving that tailgate naked (no spare tire mount, jerry cans, etc in the way). I only hate how dimmed the stop light looks on those alpha rex. A diferentiated smoke tint that left a clear spot for the stops and the reverse could have them helped out.

I recently picked up a set of the new version alpha rex in that same color. My one hang up is that if the turn signal is on, there is no brake light. So if my hazards are on the only brake light that shows is the one on the top of the cab. Thinking about asking alpha rex for a wiring diagram so I can change the 2 led squares myself to only be running & brake lights - no turn signal. Would make it so at night the running light stays on with the turn signal and day or night when I hit the turn signal and brake, the squares light up red for the brake while the difusers light up for the signal in amber.
