Where can I get these LED lights? Anyone know about swapping the side view mirrors to the Altima 3.5 ones? They have the white blinker lights in them. Can ours be modified. I love that look.

Man that's a little too bright for me, I tend to like more of a stealth look rolling and not blinding the driver behind me...

Actually it's not that bright. That's from the picture... These bulbs have like aprx 15% less output compared to the stock ones.

I like the look, Thanks for the info. Any idea about getting replacement side view mirrors from '08 Altima 3.5? I'm looking to see if I can replace them with mine. I like the blinker light i the mirror.

Here is a picture of the mirror close up, If I find anything I'll spread the word. Hate to beat a horse to death but it looks so much nicer the ours, wonder why the 08 altima gets it but not the 08 Maxima? Bastards....LOL

The new 09 Maxima finally got them, I love the look of side mirror turn signals. I wish even an aftermarket company would make them for us...

I just checked out your page, after I stopped looking at the chick in the backround I realized your car is sick. Great job, May I ask roughly how much$$ you have in it?

My recent upgrades (Turbo, Wilwood BBK F/R, Tires/Rims, Tuning, Body & Paint, install) set me back about 12K, when I'm done rebuilding the Tranny add another 3K...

In hindsight a year ago I was going to trade in my Max and drop an additional 20K down for an M45, then I decided to give 5K to the wife and see what kind of fun I could have with 15K modding my Max. My car is also paid off so it's nice to not have a car note either!!!


Check out this thread of a Max BBQ meet we had yesterday, has some new pic's of my ride and others nice Max's.

I think there is a better chance of modding our own mirrors, than swapping Altima mirrors. I have heard about people doing that.

Check this website out:
http://www.oznium.com/led-flex-strips

And this one:
http://www.hyundai-forums.com/t23784...mirror-mod.htm

Maybe they could be molded into our mirrors
