It looks like a generic kit to me. It would be nice to see if we could get a group buy on these though, maybe save a few bucks. I don't see these as being too hard to install, just time consuming.

if u put led's for the turn signals, they will hyper blink. you will need to soldier a resistor somewhere for them to blink normal. more trouble than its worth.

These LED blinkers are to be added to the existing system in the side mirrors, similar to what most new SUV's have.

Ms.thicknes on the org bought these & installed them a long time ago..

Personally, I think it's unnecessary & would look weird on a Max..it's not a SUV/truck!

they work wonderfully, they DO NOT hyper blink, I have them connected to the clear bumper lights as well as the blinkers

Do you have photo's of them unlit? I'm not sure exactly how this mounts... does it go inside or on top of the mirror? If it's on top, does it bulge or is the LED a low-profile type?

I really like the Mb style blinkers that you have!! Can you tell me exactly which ones(brand) they are or where you ordered them from. I want to make sure that I get ones that are as good looking and as bright as yours are. Thanks

The eBay ones are stick on, like these: stick ons
You are thinking of mirror kits that actually replace the mirror and you can't see the leds when not lit.

they do look better, but I spent so much time back then looking for an application that would work with the max that i just about lost my dang mind...the sticks on blinkers gave me what I needed for much less, they work great, i get many compliments on them (despite the stick on application many other folks seem to like my blinkers)


its all a matter of taste...I'm very happy with what I got for the price paid...at the time I bought them on ebay they went for $25
