So Now I understand, Yes the SRS gives warning if powered on without being connected to the overhead console (Vehicle powered while overhead console detached)

I really like the red light, its bright but doesn't blind you, Will be perfect I think for passengers needing lights on road trips

Are the white lights brighter than the stock OEM ones?

Meso lights seem to be too bright. I wish there was a diffuser or something, especially for the white lights. Red lights seem pretty bright too...

Thank you. I was able to install them today. I used a plastic pry tool to get the head unit console out. Ran into some issues with disconnecting the wires but was able to get it out with some patience and time

It’s easy as pie, remove the plastic trim behind head unit underneath 4 screws

Thanks for the quick reply!

Anyone found a way to help reduce the bright white light?

I highly recommend using a plastic pry tool to make your life easier. You can find some on Amazon for like $5. I also pulled down where the blue clippings are in this post linked below.

To disconnect the wiring harness, there is a small clip you need to push down to wiggle out the connection. Be patient here because the clip (for me) was actually really stubborn. I came close to giving up since I did not want to cause any wiring damage by pulling on the wiring harness too hard.

Also be patient with removing the trim from the console, use a flat head screwdriver here to push in the clippings (similar to above). You will still need to pull with some force. Good luck.

So 2 questions because i got the same meso dome light
1) are u just leaving the meso lights without a frame over them? I think it looks alright but would love if they made a double button frame/light cap to dim the white leds a bit…
2) did you have to drill a hole in the dome light housing for the rear too? How did you get the meso light to stay up there?
