Mirror Turn Signal Change
Getting ready to do this mod soon and i was curious about the stock leds that is already in there.....what kind is it and could we just use something similar...considering it doesnt have a problem with the door shutting .....it seems to be more stable....???Thanks

i was thinking possibly the leds go bad, because we are using 12v leds. maby its only like 6v or something going to them? i cant really meter them correctally, since they pop on and off so quickly.
after putting amber back in, i realized i liked amber better to begin with lol

I noticed last night on mine. That on one side of car the wiring is one way and you go to the other side and then wiring is exactly flipped. Meaning the negative side of the LED would be backwards. Not sure if that matters or not though. I have one LED that is not working so I am going to try and fix that today.

hmm... the wiring should be that the bottom wire is ground for both.
were you looking at the polarity of the leds themselves? because they are wired in series.... which one the leds are flipped.

On another note though. Coolerguys.com is awesome. I have a bad LED and emailed them yesterday and they are sending me a new pack of them. Left yesterday for my house. Great Customer Service in my mind.
instead of just cuttin the housing out with a dremel can i just throw the housing in the oven to soften the putty just like how you would do it for the headlight housing? or does it not work the same way?

It doesnt use the same kind of adhesive. The mirror housing is put together with some kind of epoxy that bonds the halves together.
