Blue Glass LED Mirrors

So I finally decided to fix my annoyingly discolored drivers side mirror. I have the auto tinting feature and during a wash some water squeezed between the two glass frames and caused the mirror to discolor. When the light hit is just right it was impossible to see anything. And I finally got tired of it.

I inquired at the dealer about a replacement auto tint, heated mirror and was quoted in the range of $500+ a side. No thanks, started looking at other options. I can tell my passenger side mirror has been replaced in the past by the cheap "glue new mirror glass over top of existing glass" fix.

Found these on Ebay. Blue Glass Tint. Ghost LED Turn Signals, Heater, Anti Glare, Water Repellant.

Here are some teaser pics. The pics really don't do them justice. They have a really nice Blue Tint. Hopefully the install pics are better. Hoping to get them on tonight.

I think he's just posted an ad pic of the side mirrors cuz that's not a 208.

I like the look, wondering if they'll trigger a error message because of the added LEDs. Def let us know how it goes and post pics!

Nope not my car. Install will go down tonight. I will post pics. Hopefully it resembles the clean look.

I'm hoping to wire these into the existing mirror turn light wiring...I'm not sure if these throw error codes or not when they go out...I'll find out tonight though.

Are the LED's wired to the mirror lights?

Supposed to be. Anyone know if these bulbs cause error messages? Didn't end up having time to install yesterday.

I'm guessing they will trigger and error message. If so you will need to get some CAN BUS error eliminator chips (If not already installed on mirrors?) and a resistor to counteract fast blinking if that's also something that occurs.

Get on it bro I'm anxiously awaiting to see how it goes!

Any updates on this? I need new driver side mirror glass as well and am curious how these ended up turning out for you.

Thanks.

They turned out great! The LED is really crisp and nice. Very easy to connect. Had to take the door panels off to connect the the mirror signal light harness. NO ERROR MESSAGE!!! Both the outside blinker and LED light up at the same time. I will post more night time pics when I get a chance.

Awesome good to hear! Thank you for the update! Much appreciated If you could post a few more pictures of how it looks when its off during the daytime, as well as how it looks when its on at night that would be very helpful. Thanks again!

Nice!!! Well done!!! The glass and LED's are surprisingly good quality. No cracks or distortion for me through 1 full Canadian winter!
