Sorry guys, hard to explain unless you can see it in person!! As for the arrows, I don't have those built into the mirror but would still love to have those as well as the strips in the housing, both would look pretty cool together!
I love the mod, I was on the fence with how it looked with the single strip but I absolutely love how the double turned out!! Just wish I had a good camera that could take good night videos, the video makes it all look like crap but it looks pretty cool in person!

I gotcha now. Looks awesome.

Do you not have the built-in lights in the mirror? Maybe that's why I was confused. In my mirrors, there is an arrow-shapped led turn signal built into the mirror itself. I thought that's what you were trying to modify. You're actually lighting up the entire housing, which is pretty slick...

Certain yes i think 03 and under aren't equipped with turn signal mirrors.. So ya gotta mod um in!!!

Got one step closer to completing my interior leds by getting the steering wheel controls done. Next step I think will be to get the caddy cluster I have sitting around converted over, programmed and installed.

Looks good I'd like to do that but change all of mine to red like how my pontiacs are. Need to read on how to do it one of these days.

Posted up a couple videos about the LED mirror mod, one is an attempt at showing and explaining why I went with 2 LED's in one housing and the other is a video of the lights from in the drivers seat during the daytime! When the weather gets good again in a day or 2, I'll try to make a few how to videos of the steps to doing this mod since I've had a few folks on here asking questions on how to do it for their trucks!

Chris,

Did you keep all of the mirror adjustment movement, or do the LED's get in the way of that all? I'm digging this little mod, and it looks pretty easy to do.

I have full range of the mirror lens because I figured out how thick the mirror lens was and also how far into the mirror it traveled and then stuck the LED's an 1/8" farther in there so that way the mirror will never hit them! The front of the LED's are 1 1/8" in from the outer edge of the mirror housing, that's just what i figured would work for mine! And yes, it's pretty easy to do!

Guys, just out of curiosity ... is there no aftermarket mirror lens for NBS mirrors that emulates the NNBS lenses with the leds already in them?

Cause if not that's a business startup idea right there. :)
