    I recently purchased an SR5 and thought what a nice improvement it would be to have sequential blinkers on the mirrors.....

    ...then I read this thread, LOL :facepalm:

    I still have connectors to build a plug and play harness for this mod (potentially; it needs to be tested). Chances are I won’t be going through the trouble to test it on my truck. If someone wants to be my tester I can sell the harness so long as they provide feedback. Just let me know. This project had very little demand, but if people still people want it I can make them in small batches.

    2nd, this way you can have DRL's and turn signals together.

    That would be fortunate. I just learned that the reason my sr5's mirror turn signals don't work is because the privious owner must have installed trd sport mirrors. Seems they are less industrious than the new owner. Planning to run wires to make lights function. Already have the mirrors with body matched covers and lights with wires present behind mirror covers.

    Typically people do things for a result. I changed my bumper to add a winch. I lifted my truck to get more clearance and run larger tires. I tinted my rear windows to cut down on the heat. I put an American flag on my truck because I am a proud American. You are putting lights on your mirrors for what???

    Illumination, safety, or looks cool ,(if that sort of thing is your bag baby) Why not?

    Usa flag on Japanese truck might seem just as odd to some.

    Im looking at this exact plug(s), but mine are different than you have shown for the passenger side. This is a 2019. Any suggestions or maybe I'll go grab my multimeter...

    These are on a 2020, so maybe the MM would be needed in your case.

    hello @JohnnyReb I am currently trying to switch out my stock SR5 mirrors for the aftermarket signal mirrors. I saw that you used red posi-tabs, but what other materials did you use to get them working? Specifically from the second and third pictures? Thank you
