Default DIY Led turn signal mirror cover

Does anyone upgrade to led turn signal mirror cover for 2000 RX 300?
I saw the following led mirror cover on the e-bay without instructions.

Last week I received the led turn signal mirror cover from ebay. Today I made the power connections with turn signal flasher, it worked very good. Hopefully I will finish up by next week or so and then I will post pictures. Thanks

If you could post instructions, it would be appreciated.

Zombie, did you check the compitable LED bulb for side markers? Here is the site for front side markers: http://www.superbrightleds.com/vehic...s/rx300/33/889 and for the rear one: http://www.superbrightleds.com/vehic...s/rx300/33/889. They sell very good LED bulb. I bought mine from there also.

This is not side marker light. I believe it works with rear turn signal light. This is an addition rear turn signal lamp. I bought following item for rear light and fit with OEM:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...0494&viewitem=. I will let you know later when i install.

Default Here is the pic of flasher for turn & hazard signal.

Today I finished Led turn signal mirror covers. Red circle is flasher. Blue circle (Green wire with black tracer) is left turn signal output. Yellow circle (Green wire with a yellow tracer) is right turn output. You need to connect those for positive wires of L/R Led mirror cover.

Default Flasher located next right to the interior fuse box driver side

This flasher located under the steering near the fuse box to the right side. You need to pry the plastic trim under the steering by removing 2 nuts (10mm) lower left and right ( this one hide with small plastic trim need to open by flat screw driver. There is another iron cover need to remove by 2 (10mm) screw on left and right side also. Use heavy cotton gloves, lower side of the cover is very sharp. Then you will see the flasher. Red arrow is the iron cover.

Default Right turn signal connected.

I will show you how I connected with right turn led signal cover. Red circle is extra fuse connected with flasher wire (green with yellow tracer).

I removed the U shape wood trim ( pry from the bottom to up) by the radio/ac and run this wire behind the glove box to the right side.
