Mirror Turn Signals

Post by 04chargedvibe »

So, i found an alternative to buy mirrors with turn signals. Im using the same lights i used for the door lighting i have on the bottom of the doors but a different color. It may not be the most fancy thing in the world but in my opinion i like it. sorry about the lighting. i finished just before the sun was down and i didnt have much light left .lol

That's pretty cool. How did you run the blinker connection to the mirrors?

ran the wires from the blinker threw the firewall to the connection from the car to the door then up and threw the rubber seals in the mirror. had to use extra wire but thats no big deal. ill take pictures of the wiring when i have some more light lol

they look nice and bright and the color seems to be right on. Don't know if I could deal with the strip tho. Definitely a cheap alternative to buying aftermarket. You're a thrifty creative guy!

Excellent. Much better than outside the mirror.
