Feeler: Hand made side Mirror Lights!

Who wants to be a prototyper and let me make them a set with these bad boys

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=31620

should be brighter and reach farther.

 

I have an extra set of 98-00 side mirrors... one with broken glass already too.

 

yea those are Jons old ones yes?

think im supposed to grab those right?

So i could make some for someone and they don't have to ship me their mirrors. All you need to do is pay for the lights..

 

I will be back in the 307 in January with second gen mirrors you could use. I will be in laramie.

 

NICE!

i have been dying to get a hold of some.

when? ill be through laramine like the 11th..

 

I would be interested in a set that maybe used amber lights that arnt so bright so I could use them during normal driving. And I could double them as turn signals

 

hmm..i haven't looked into ambers so much..i drive with mine on though and never have had an issue..

could tint the blizpros..ill look to see what i can find for those..

 

No, these are ones I bought to add heating elements to.

I smell an arrangement forming here....

 

ooooohhhhhhh

gotcha..heating element?

Id Jon bring his other set of mirrors?...maybe he didn't have another set..whatever.

 

Yeah man, I don't think he left any mirrors, but then again I loss track of all the stuff he unloads from his car.

He literally fills up half my garage and half my driveway with parts. His car is so tiny too... it's like a clown car in the circus, stuff defies all physics and just keeps pouring out.

 

freaking Jon..haha

Well..what are these heating elements? you haven't installed yet?

 

Man, for a young dude your memory sucks.

We posted about this - when I asked you where/how you ran the wire from the mirror housing to the interior.

I want to add those motorcycle grip heaters to the backside of my glass.

 

ahhh yes. And hey man..i do a lot of handing out of info..sorry...haha

and those would be easy to mount to 95-00 mirrors. But i remember you didn't like how i route the wire out and wanted to do it through the joint itself..which..would not be fun..

 

I should be out there either the first week or early the second week. Do you need an actual extra set or are the ones that are currently on there enough?

 

It's not that I didn't like it, I just thought that's how I'd have to do it (through the joint and through the outside of the outer sail panel).

I don't mind the wire(s) coming out of the mirror ever so slightly then making their way into the outer sail panel.

 

Damn, would be sweet if you could add a wheel angle sensor so they come one when you start to turn, or when you turn on your blinker.

 

Well ill be hiting the road back to St. Louis the 11th..so hopefully before then..

and what do you mean? you mean like the mirrors you actually have on the truck? well..how long can you go without mirrors..haha

oh..well then.

What are you waiting for? haha

 

yea someone else asked about that..but really..not needed..not on mine anyways. The flood wide enough that ive never wanted them to move with the wheel..

would be easy to tap into you blinkers.

 

I have a 27 hour drive from florida. It looks like I will be leaving Fl around jan 3 or 4th. So that puts me out there like the 7th to be generous.

I could go with out mirrors for a few weeks. When I was out there last year I only drove it once a week.

 

Encouragement.
