    I like the dark signals and the sequential lights turned out pretty neat. $44 from ebay and they included the tools to pry off the mirror cover and even a Philips screw driver. The signals were well packaged too.

    I searched a lot to find a video on how to remove the covers, but didn't find much so I made one. Turn signals in action on hazard mode at the end of the video.

    I think I got a bum product. Can't get one side to light up. The pins that slide into the factory harness maybe are too close together?

    Any help/tips on how to line those up?

    Take a small screw driver and straighten out that pin.

    That's what I've been trying, but they actually have to go into a hole about the diameter as the pin. It's tough to line up, and not easy to actually bend from the method you described. Wonder if I can take anything apart..

    Those pins aren't that strong to bend. Not sure what you're using to bend the pin, but it should be very easily bent. Make sure the screw driver you're using actually fits inside the connector.
