M3 style Mirrors
Friday, December 29, 2006 9:20 PM
I just bought some carbon fiber mirrors with blue leds. The wires that are on them are blue, white and black. These are for power & manual mirrors. I have power mirrors on my z24. Unfortunatly the only instructions that were with the mirrors were the what was on the box and of course they were vague. I've not attempted installation yet since I have to work until New Years Eve. So does anyone know how to install these things to the power mirror set up and to the turn signals. Thanks

I know alot of people who tapped thier turn signal wires to the M3 wires and then grounded the M3s to something metal in the engine bay. Shouldn't be hard at all. Just tap into your factory turn signal wires from your headlights and you should be all good.

Be careful with those blue LED turn signals. Everyone that I know that has had those mirrors with the blue lights, has gotten tickets. It is illegal to display blue lights on the exterior of the car, more so with lights that flash as it can be considered an emergency veichle to other drivers. So watch it.

I'd imagine that its just a case of running the wires inside and into the steering column, and tap the turn signal wires.

Well, these darn things didnt have the hook up for the power mirror controls, which is no big. But I did tap into my lower turn signals. The amber leds come on with the head lights, but the blues only blink when the head lights are off. I don't really wanna use the blue, id like to make the ambers blink. Not really sure how to do that. I have all 3 wires connected to the 3 wires that are on the signals. I guess I should take a black off and ground it???? Note, I did all of this before anyone posted....
