Here's a stupid question for anyone who knows the answer to this...

Why are these so expensive...
APC Signal Mirrors


Compared to these...?
M3 LED Power Mirrors

What's the major difference? And also the second one says it has Amber, Blue, and White LED signals in them? Is this just for preference of which ones you like best? Is there anything about the first set that makes them worth the extra cost over the second set?

judgeing by the review on the M3 LED Power Mirrors

Quote:

The glass isnt tinted blue, and the glass that is on it is wavey and everything is distorted..... i guess ok for 74 bucks..




that would be my guess

That sucks... lol I guess I'll just have to wait 'til I have enough money to blow on mirrors... The cheaper price on the second sounded a lot better, but I'd rather keep my stockers if they have waves and stuff. Does anyone on here have these and had any problems with them?

the difference is one uses the peice that actually bolts down to the car from your stock mirrors, the other completely replaces all the parts, also i believe that the later, cheaper set angle up

overall both will make the mirror smaller so you see less and look sill in my oppinion

i would recommend sticking with stock, as i owned the first set and had them on my car for about a half a year and when i changed back i was MUCH happier

but you can do things like paint your mirrors the body color

good luck

BTW, BEWARE if you buy the APC led mirrors.

The leds in the mirror quit working pretty fast (I went through THREE sets in a matter of NO time on the other cav). They looked good while they worked, but it wasn't for long. Plus, moisture built up in the lenses of the leds and it looked awful.

That's why the ones I have on my car now DON'T have the leds.
