Well, I got the idea from Maxima Polak, and i'm on a college budget, and I also just dropped 380 for plugs and coils...but's here's the ghetto LED mirror(the passenger side). Seriously, this is probably not worth your time(3 hours wiring, and 1.5 hrs for one mirror to get to this stage), setting up the wiring, and then drilling into the mirrors, etc. I will attempt a write up but stopping to take pics while doing this is a b*tch. I need some advice on how to seal the bulbs in, they fit pretty snug, but the third bulb in is loose as you can tell by the direction the light is, I was thinking a light clear caulk, around the hole before I put the bulb, anyone have any ideas?

Here's a teaser pic...

 

looks better than the Paradox I got.......wow nice....

 

man those look really cool...although i think whiter led's would look better...not sure how the cops would like them tho.

 

slap some sealant from the inside, on the back of the bulb. it will seal it.

it looks very nice. good job!!!

 

I think they look great. Wish I had the time and effort to make them.
Good job

 

I think they look nice!!! Good job!!

 

How much did you pay for it??

 

looks really nice man. take some pics farther away though.

 

looks good man..

 

I have no idea...I know I paid like 15 bucks for a bunch of LED, these orange LED's came with them...so <$15. I'll post the final product hopefully by week's end

 

Nice! looks good

 

sweet i think they would look sick in blue, does polak have the blue or white, i cant remember

 

He had blue and realized he would be toast in about 2 minutes on the road with cops so he changed them to amber

 

applying a caulk/sealant to the inside like Zippin said outta do the trick. Looks good, but as you mentioned takes a looooong time. Update with pics please!!

 

Those look good. I like how it's incognito.

 

look good can't wait to see the them on the car and a pic

 

I just left mine there...nothing covering them. You can always silicone. I didn't bother.

The cops wouldn't like the white...I've had them first in blue then changed then for fear of getting pulled over....mine are now amber and look almost identical.

 

hey polak whatever happened to your cf hood

 

those look sweet. i'd love to see them on the car.

 

polak, if you do decide to get rid of your car, please let me know because everything u have i want .. and im not kidding.

 

Look at my sig...I decided to keep the car because I don't want to make payments for another 3 years. I will instead get a bike and use the maxima in the winter and when it rains.

I appreciate your love for my car

 

looks really good, it seems like a great cheap mod. maybe i wanna try that if you get the write up. nice job.

 

very nice. dude you should sell that idea man! or do something about it!

 

I noticed something....you didn't measure nor make a line to align those LEDs better...

I drew a line with a pencil and spaced each LED a few centimeters appart. They came out almost even. I'm not saying mine are better but here's a picture. You can't get the perfect...you'd have to drill all of them at the same angle.

 

I didn't really notice until now, but wow! I still like the idea though and applaud you for the effort. Is there a way to easily do this that would progressively illuminate the LED's? I'm sure this is going to be hard to understand, but i'll give it a shot. What I'm saying is, say you have 8 LEDs, can you make it illuminate the two closest to the car first, then add two every .5 second until all 8 are lit then turn off, then repeat. Would this be possible? Because I think that would be pretty cool, call me crazy.

 

I have a 9 LED setup but that's nothing....It might be possible to make them come on later like police have them in order ..>.>.>.>.> but I wouldn't know how to do that...

Here's his:



and here are mine:

 

that looks really good i would def like to do this on my car!

 

Spoko

 

knightrider.

 

Yeah, i guess kinda like that, but more like the police thing mentioned where it indicates where it's going. Just a thought.

 

I can imagine it'd be really hard to align them perfectly. Can those covers be cut easily w/a Dremel to cut open a slot of sorts and then just fit in small LED bar?

 

smart thinking man! some LED bars are already set up to light up in series.
I like the way those led's sit on the bottom of the mirro cover...nice and discrete. How do they hold up in the car wash?

 

that would probably be a better set up in terms of alignment, but IMO the single LED look is much more appealing and subtle...i would rather have one or two LEDs a little 'off' than have a single bar of straight LEDs...just my .02...

anyways, good job on the LEDs...they look real nice, and if i had the know how and time to do this, i would...

 

I love this idea. The LED's look sweet. I wanna do this to my car. I think I might practise first on an old piece of plastic or something before I start drilling into my mirrors. It looks very nice and is a lot cheaper than the mirrors with sidemarkers in them.

 

The mirror is curved...the bar wouldn't work on the mirror because of its shape.

 

looks great

 

ok well finally after hours upon hours of work....here's a few pics and a vid....not worth it to do but i do have a ton of pics if there is interest, however, you have you be on a tight budget and williing to spend time on this project and maybe then there will be a write up.....cut and paste the link

Looks like it belongs on the car, in the video...nice work!

 

i wish one of you would take some time and just do a write-up(without pics) of how to wire this....

 

That's smooth. I would dedicate an entire day for this project!
