Default My new cab lights and mirror lights!! *PICS*

I added Recon cab lights to my truck. These are a set for a Dodge, but I think they look great on our trucks. They are amber LED with a smoked lens and black housing, very nice.
I also did some custom work and added front facing clearance/turn amber LEDs to my tow mirrors. I wired in a voltage regulator to reduce the power down for the clearance light. Then with the same LED I tied into each turn signal for each side. Added a few diodes to prevent back feeding and now I have a LED on each side that blinks with the turns. Much like the front stock turn signal but with one LED, with one wire.
I might have to get some pics with it darker out for you guys to really see em. Whatcha think?

Not at all. It was actually harder to mount the lights for my mirrors. Just gotta find center, then evenly space the other lights however you want.

My mirror lights was the hardest thing.I took it one step further and actually integrated the mirror into the housing itself for a nice clean look.I had to cut into the mirror housing,but in the end after all was said in done,i am happy with how it came out and get allot of complements.

They look good! Did you wire them up as running AND turn or no?
