Default xB led sidemirrors complete!

Here's a few pics of the led side mirrors I just did. I have a video too but I'm not sure how I want to post it yet cuz of bandwidth.

Looks hot, I would have done it along the crease near the bottom.

Your grill/headlight combo rules.

the LEDs look cool at a distance, but i have this weird thing where i get grossed out by multiple small holes or circles near each other. so they kinda make me feel uneasy.

yes, im a freak.

thats a dope grill! what is that?

Trust me wanted to put them along the bottom of the mirror housing but as you can see in the first pic the motor is in the way. I got the led lenses and housing from www.mouser.com and the leds which are 12000mcd super yellow from www.newark.com. All told I spent $40 cuz the cost of the led's lenses, t-taps and wire.

Not exactly my style, but looks good. Nice and clean... simple. Goes well with the PW xB. Sucks they couldn't go across the bottom.

Lol I just spaced it so that the 3 inner ones were slightly closer together for a couple reasons, 1. so they would look evenly spaced when you look at them head on and, 2.I thought the evenly spaced row looked a little boring. I actually prolly should have spaced them even closer in the middle. I thought I was going to wire them differently so that only the outer ones would stay on as parking lights but I changed my mind after I already mounted the lenses

Different. . . personally think they are weird when not lit (maybe white covers/caps would be more appropriate). On, they look sweet!

At least there was a method to the madness. Props for the effort anyway, though as AR as I am I would have to have them even or it would bug me.
