Yeah I looked into it and couldn't find both mirrors for less than $200. The $10-$20 mod becomes a LOT more appealing. I'm kinda curious to see what it would look like to put the LEDs completely around the mirror and have the entire thing have light coming around it. Maybe it would look like crap... I don't know.

not only that you spent all that money on them them then some pos comes and steals them. my pass was stolen yesterday $208 just for one from rockauto.

Hmm. This would be REALLY easy for me, then, since I have the built-in OEM LED's. I'd just have to tap the wires already in the mirrors....

I may just have to do this. At that price point, it's hard to resist and I need a cheap project.

Chris, where'd you get the LED strips?? (and how easy is it to remove the mirror? I just realized I have no idea how you do that part....)

Got my passenger window tinted. Decided I am going to do the rest at work, my 1 car garage isn't big enough.

Wait, NBS mirror lenses cost $200?

You can get an entire set of NNBS mirror assemblies for that much. :think:
Heck, that's what I paid for my Esky mirrors.

Yikes you guys are right ... on ebay they sell for around $100 a lens.
Crazy, I would have thought these things could be easily found in junkyards and the like for next to nothing.
Unbelievable that two glass lenses would cost as much as newer escalade mirrors. :whymewhyme:

Yes Scott, since you already have the signals in the mirrors, the mod would be super easy for you since you wouldn't have to run a power wire from the dash!! Pm'ed you with the rest of the info you are after!

That's the exact reason why I haven't gone that route, not about to spend that kind of mad money on something like that! Painful to even think about!! :)

And because I haven't been driving my truck much lately and the battery in it is sooo needing to be replaced, I put the battery charger back on today and night!! That's what I did to my denali today!! Gotta get a battery very soon!

So why not do that instead of messing around with loose led strips?
Is it a price issue?
Cause I'd guess that oem is always cleaner looking no? :think:

IMHO the strips hidden are better plus you can put the small round Morris in w/o interfering with the arrows also it's hidden ...pretty sickk..
Anyways....
I changed my oil today got 111700 miles and I'm using castrol high mileage oil...

Thanks for the PM, Chris....

I fiddled with the adjustment on my fog lights. That's all I did. Woooo.

I need to change to my winter tires. I'm still running on my Cooper LTZ's, which have done superbly in snow but kinda suck on glare ice....
