So I gotta be the one to ask. Why not just buy the side mirrors that already have the turn signals and puddles built in? That's what I'm planning to do along with the power fold option. I'm all more modding but just wondered what your thinking was.

Fraction of the cost - why waste a good pair when u can use them - plus unique side marker - for me it's a challenge and rewarding when finished

You can sell the used ones tho... but you have the brain and ***** matter to take a hole drill to your truck and do a nice job yourself kudos.

Thanks bro - yeah I said that about my headlights when I went from the chrome to the Harley Dave version with the black trim and when I ended up getting custom projectors done by a member here - now I have 3 sets of HL, two of which are still sitting in my garage - LOL

And to save time. When you have the door panel off, the plug from the cab into the mirrors, there is a purple wire that goes into the plug, but doesn't come out the other side to the mirrors. That is the stock dome light wire, causes puddles to fade out too which is kind of neat. Just did this a year ago.

I have my puddle lights ready to go in, but was looking for the wiring I needed to use. So there is a purple wire on each side that you tap into for the hot? What did you ground into?

TIA!

I'd be interested in the HD headlights (black) Flip. PM me a price if your willing to sell.
