So I figure I get around installing the LEDs in my mirrors, hopefully when I get some time I can make a How to, along with the clutch job one. Anyhoo, i got these off embay, I forgot the price, but it was cheap. the only think i hate about them is the wires are redonklously small, So it would be a great idea to soder the suckers to something with some thinckness to it.
9 Led Strip the tape overs the wires sodered and covered with head shrink tubing.
Close up
Now with these aftermarket mirriors, You are gonna have to find a way to pop the retaining clips hanging onto the motor, The good thing is you can do em with a scredriver and some pressure, Just be mindful of the mirror.
Close up of the clips
and Off
Here are the clips
door panel off
3 bolts that hang on the mirror (11mm)
After I took them off, I figured this would be a perfect time to fix my ghetto wiring I did when i first installed my mirrors, So I grabbed some flux, Soder and the Iron and went to work
Close up, Yep, it was bad
During
and done.
----------
Now it was time to set the LEDs in with the epoxy, I kinda winged it, aside from putting the mirror n and eyeballing how far it goes back, so it can still move if I needed to adjust it.
the epoxy, harbor freight special stuff
Set in
And back on the door with the mirror on,
Close up
I decided to run the wire down though the grommit leading to the cab, then took the wires and used a bolt on the fender as a ground and one of the wires on the turn signal connector as the power for it
On
Off
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the other side
OFF
While working on the stuff, I finally got my LEDs for my Dome light and OHC, Woot.
Setting the LED in
fixed wiring
Pressing in the glass, Just take your time and slowly press it on, Don't want to break it
Glass inn
Running the wiring
ON
For the Right side I tapped into the bottom wire of the Right front turn signal connector
On the Left, I tapped into the top wire
And all Done! (Ignore the little minion of a sister)
After that, I installed the LEDs in the dome light, Holy hell they are bright!
Well, Bout it for now guys!
