    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 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

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

    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.

    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.

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/15958-el-cheapo-heated-mirrors.html

    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 :eek:

    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.

    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.
