Mirror blinker customizing.....
Just wondering if there are others out there who have done away with their incandescent mirror blinkers.
A while back, I had posted some details as to how I had upgraded my mirror blinkers to make use of LEDs.
Wanted to see if anyone has done the same.

SKIDZ,
If I recall correctly, the mirror blinker strips are connected to the bulb-out malfunction system so that if the bulb goes out, the system will display a warning. How did you manage to get around this with the LEDs?

Ah I see. I am familiar with these devices. Which one did you use? How many ohms and where are they mounted?
