Ultimate side mirror build

Puddle lights are in.
Here's with the turn signal installed too

STEALTH BRO

Puddle light location. Haven't tested light direction, but they taper up slightly so should illuminate the ground well

Side profile
The LED's are inside a clear waterproof tube.

Don't mind the little blemish..
the bottom of the light tube sits flush with the housing. Can't even tell when it's there when the mirror is installed.

 

What did you wire the puddle light into???

 

Wireless yo. I integrated the Clap on/clap off module so a quick Double clap with your hands and voila...puddle lights.
Jk. They will tie into the dome light and replicate their function

 

like the clap on mod!

 

Hahaha sweet dude

 

Nice! Is there a part number for the puddles?

 

So a rigid light, a puddle light, and a stealth turn signal all in one? Where do I sign?

 

Either way man, another awesome mod.

 

Radiantz Z flex in white. You will have to cut to fit.

Gracias!

Continuing on... I decided to build my turn signal a little different. Typically I smoke the entire housing. Which is nice..but you do loose a little intensity of the light. Since this is going on my rig.. Function will be priority over form.

So..I took one of my already modded smoked signals and cut a sliver to let light out. Then, cut and heated a piece of my amber plexi to form in the inside. Finally, I took my LED strips and painted them black(then acetone off the top of the lights. Creating a REALLY blacked out look. while still letting out 100% of the light







Then, to carry on with my mulitcam black theme, the upper housings to match.
Some people might thing over the top..but whatever.
HOW MANY PIECES OF FLARE DO YOU HAVE!?

SideI'm really diggin' the amber signal look)

 

Ready to send my mirrors.

 

Ready to send my money.

 

Awesome!
Let's see them on a truck!
Can't wait to see them in a color mirror. Like quicksand........

 

Let me get this one wired up and see if you like it.

 

She's live. Waiting till it gets dark for some output shots.
Until then.....

 

P.s I did some wire tracing today to find the perfect circuit for the puddle lights.

First, I tested it off the cargo light switch.
That worked but the puddle lights did not "fade in-fade out" like the dome lamps.. just ON or OFF. Also, if the rocker switch is set to anything other than "Door" it will not activate puddle lamps.
FAIL

Second, I tried the dome supervision wire (tan on backside of ECU) it was negative trigger so figured I'd try it. Not enough power to drive LEDS.
FAIL

Finally I traced the wiring from the overhead console and grabbed them at the A pillar. Worked perfect. There was rhe constant +12V(factory dome light fused circuit) and the negative door trigger that will fade in/out. I also wanted this circuit for the "key-sense" when you walk up close to the truck they auto on.
I feel like a damn Rolls Royce now!

Oh and here are some install pics:


Since there are more lights and wires than the factory provided, I had to run some new ones. Piece of cake. Ran parallel with the factory;


Through the factory boot. Child's play.


Viola

 

so when can we throw our money at you?

 

DUDE.

SWEET.

 

Will work for lights.

 

Well, we all can't be Raptors CAN WE!
my buddy has one and they lock you out using the ditch lights over 10MPH.
I wish I could have built it into turn signal, but Function would have been lost.
