I have an opinion question...would it look weird to slightly smoke that clear strip on the mirrors? With my car being so dark the side mirror blinkers will really stick out so I have been thinking about smoking them to a light grey- enough to still stand out but less so than the silver. Thoughts on that? Am I a weirdo?
WTF this comes up NOW? and im leaving town like 10 mins ago i shoulda left?

micheal pm i need your email address i can forward you some photos....


to the OP since alot of them wanted the original ones because of the puddles
how hard would it be to drill inside the housing like under it and mount our own individual puddles? so they would be recessed also... do u understand what im attempting to think hahaha

Like I had said I wanted it with the puddle light but I wasn't willing to sacrifice the quality of the over all part just have something rigged on.

I don't think that I would look bad

Yes it is a two wire hookup, so when your turn signal is off they are off.

What I can do, is once I have my oen ready I'll create intructions. (perk when your a graphic designer)

So yes to the instructions, I should be laying that out sometime next week.

Wow finally after all these years a great quality LED mirror cover has arrived.. Looks really good. Much better than the old covers found on ebay that make your mirror bulky..

Nice work

Tony
