NEW MOD....LED in the side view mirrors (no pics yet)

Well thanks to Bigdogjonx on this one...I got the passenger side done and will take pics Wednesday ( thats when I can use my works digi cam) Ok, so here is what I did...I went and purchased 8 x 5mm Superbright Super Orange LED's (4 per side). So I have 3 facing the front (oncoming traffic) and 1 facing the rear. This mod is definately not easy! It was a ***** trying to feed the blinker signal wires from inside the cabin, through the door and then finally through to the mirror. It took me all day! And then I had to drill holes into the mirrors! Anyways, it turned out awesome and I'm gonna fine tune the aim of the super brights because they are pointing a tad bit down...I'll do that tomorrow before I start with the driver side.
