Default LED side mirror install.

I finished installing my turn signal using the link that i posted without any major problems. The instruccions were easy and straight forward. These turn signal are BRIGHT.

I cant wait to see them. The ones i have are only tun signals but depending on how your lights look, i might just have to add them on. lol!!

Yeah the wiring was tough for me as well. I also went without the ghetto look and followed the wiring harness.it took me 5 hours to do this mod just on the wiring!. Youve got to let me know how you painted your mirrors. This is something that ive been wanting to do for a while but have no experience when it comes to paint.

Here ya go man.Hope ya like em.Any questions,let me know.

First pic is the light off,notice how i built it into the mirror housing(Took my dremal and cut the shape of it out,and used epoxy to hold her in their

Second pic,lights on.

Third pic,i went thru the door wiring hose and straight into a hole i drilled.

Fourth,the wiring,i wired it on the light switch into the fog lamp wiring itself,so that way when i turn my parking,or fog lamps on,the mirror lights come on and go off when i turn on and turn off my lights.

Thanks man.God i hope they look as all the frustrations that were kicking in from taking way longer than i wanted to,lol.I got mine from nappa.They came with a crome fixture so that you can ankor them to your mirror and also automaticly grounded thru the crome metal housing.But if i used the crome houseing,it stuck out way to far and looked gaudy and nig rigged,lol.So thats when i decided to put them in my mirror housing itself and run a ground to my fog light switch.I ran them to a brown wire on the lights switch wires.Any questions,just let me know.
