I had always wanted these, even when I had the '98. A set came up for sale on CVN and I jumped on them.

Running the new power wires:

The replacement mirror, with LEDs:

The hard part was tracking down non-textured mirror caps. Finally found a set off a '98 and had them professionally painted and clearcoated by a local bodyshop friend.

With some trim detailer, the replacement mirror housings looked as good as new:

They are very bright, even in sunlight:

Since the door panels had to be removed, I thought this would also be a good idea to install much nicer door pins and bezels.

I had the optional Muth mirrors on my Thunderbolt...i LOVED them.

It's too bad they're rediculously expensive new.

Thanks. I highly recommend them.

Naturally, Supermotors just crapped out and you cannot view the pics.

Hopefully, they'll be back up soon.

They're working now.

did you wire them to run as turn/brake, or only as turn?

I had mine as turn and brake, it took a bit to get used to them coming on with the brakes, but eventually i got used to it. I really loved them at night.

I used the online instructions and much to my surprise, they also illuminate with the brake lights.

I too am quickly getting accustomed to them as auxillary brake lights and look forward to seeing them in action at night.

ImpalaSlayer has them on his car, they looked very good from behind when I was following him around.

I need to have someone drive my Merc so I can get the full effect. :cool:

With the car off but key on, turn the signal on. Left signal lights up the passenger side and vice versa lol but when the car is on and running Left signal lights up driver's side.

It's one of my mods on the to-do list just not at the top lol.

Follow up: I finally drove the Maruder after dark lastnight. The LEDs are brilliant at night. So bright my friend following me in his '03 Terminator had to call me while driving to let me know.

They are pricey if purchased new, but I think they're worth the added warning to other motorists. That's my $0.02.

I dig em', anything that continues to make a car unique and different from everything else on the road is a worth while mod
