i bought the carbon fiber m3 mirrors with the led turn signals. i installed them and i took pics as i went to show you guys exaclty how to install them. only prob is my digital camera is not working so i had to take reagular pics and they are getting put on disk as we speak. the wiring is really confusing espically when the mirrors come with the wires backwards in the motor. what you will have to do is test each line with the wirror button. the directions i got were in japanese so i have winged it. once i get my pics back, i will set up and step by step installation process but i will need some body to host it.

if anyone can figure it out plz let me know

if you hook up your leds to the parking lights, then every time your alarm flashes, they will flash too

i want some nice LED turn signal mirrors, but i dont want the M3 style ones, they slant up too much and are kinda small for the car. I wish a company made OEM looking ones.
