So I recently got laid off and have a bunch of spare time on my hands.

I decided to see what side view mirror lights would look like.
I used orange LED's and some trick wiring to get the lights to blink with the turn signals when the parking lights were off...and then alternate with the turns with the parking lights off.

It really didn't match the fender marker lights nor the running lights so I actually fabricated some LED lights to replace them (I can't find anyone who makes orange LED wedge bulbs).


Some pics and a video. The video was shot with the amber colored marker and running lights. Now they are all matching orange

Pics and video don't do it justice. It's very crisp in person. You can make out distinct LED's from pretty far away.

nice job did you want the mirrors to blink oposite of the lights though?

 

I can do either or.

 

ohh ok i was j/w nice job though

 

looks good. how do the mirrors acutally look now? like, the actual housing?

 

Thanks man.
Yeah, I can pretty much wire it any way I want.

The LED's are clear so you don't really notice unless they're on.

 

What it looks like when the lights are off

 

Nice job man, Its definitely different

 

looks good

very nice i think that looks great

 

Thanks.
I use them quite a bit.

Unfortunately no one I know carries actual orange (not amber) wedge bulbs for some reason.

 

any good pics of the mirrors close-up with light on and off?

i want to see where you put the bulbs...

 

I really can't take pics of them on because they're too bright for the camera.

 

its sweet, but i think it would have been better if it sync'd with the headlight and sidemarker blinkers

 

+1 and only illuminated when the turn signal is used
