retrofitting mirrors...

i dunno...those arrows in those suv sideview mirrors are kinda neat imo. any idea's on what kind of mirror/material they use so the LEDs show through? how hard of a retro do you think it would be to do that to our oem sideview mirrors...

i know blackbullet has some mercedes sideviews, but does anyone know if he has the LEDs in the mirrors?

it's late i dunno

are you talking like putting blinkers in your side mirriors? i know when you wanna wire them up you need a pasitive going to your blinker signal and a negative grounded somewhere. It's not hard i have the blinker in my cf mirriors. i can post the wiring diagram later if you want.

If your going to take any mirror from an SUV you should get those ones where when you throw it in reverse the right mirror automatically lowers to help you park.

Yeah those mirrors on ebay ARE WAY TO small

mini-nsx is an unknown quantity at this point
Some of the newer buicks cars have what your wanting, I dont think you have a lot of luck finding a pair of SUV mirrors that dont look dumbo ears on your civic...

You can keep those sticker add on led's too, I wouldnt put them on my car...

I'd like to find an Acura TSX thats being parted out, they do not have the LED's in the mirror, but the led's on the front wrap around the front, side and there is one that blinks at rear traffic. I didnt know this untill I saw one in person...

I searched for a pic, but had no luck. Go test drive one and check it out...
