Question LED Arrow Mirror update conversion - Anyone do this yet?
I ordered an unpainted set, and dealer is "only" charging me $110 to paint and clear coat them. Installation cost is undetermined as of yet.

Looking forward to the update.

Question Does anyone have a step by step photo diagram?
Did you decide to do the courtesy light, or leave it disconnected?

I will seriously pay for a how detailed how to guide, ha ha!

Thanks everyone !

Please let me know if there is a step by step guide somewhere (even if only for the removal of the old covers for now, that would be a help!) online or if you have one.

I will pay seriously pay for it,

Thanks!

/\ You have to take the inner cover off on the other side of the mirror on the inside of the car and remove the nuts holding it to the door.

Seems most are running the wire up to the overhead light and tapping for the power there.

Good luck.

I have them,,, have not installed yet.. my car is black and I got them in black paid $159 shipped color is perfect build looks good... invoice from china says they cost my guy $80 bucks got them from ebay took about 3 weeks to get them in... the courtesy light is to be wired to the courtesy light at the bottom of your door... they come on when you open the door... you can take the bulbs out of the door so there is a cleaner look then having both lights on because the mirrors have leds which is much brighter than door lights -- point is to led and bulbs pop on at the same time (to me) just looks kinda tackey.. kinda old meets new look.. I try to keep all my exterior light led for a newer modern uniform look... good luck
