do you have any better pics of them actually on...
looks like a decent write up
? what do you mean on? like the mirrors on the car or the lights on? Its hard to get the lights to come on and snap a pic because it comes on with the blinkers.
on the car, sorry
like...a better profile shot, further away
in the dark or in the day?? I can get some tomorrow.. its raining right now so i cant
Nice write up Derric,thanks a lot for sharing.I have a question though,are the mirrors powered? Seems to have a lot of wires if not.Thanks.
Yes they are.. Mine aren't because i dont have the support in the car but the mirrors do have powered connections for power mirrors.
If you'd like a set, im sure the guy at jbodytuner.com can get you all good deals.. this isnt the cheap ebay crap either.

Step 16: Turn on the right blinker and then go to the right tail light to test the wires with a voltage screwdriver (don't know the name of them but they glow when you have power)
I'd use the front blinkers so they don't come on w/ the brakes
didn't know they would... I will have to check on that one..i dont think they do.. because if your stopped at light on a hill with a standard, and are turning left, the blinker will still blink on the back with out the break light interfering so i dont think they will come on with the breaks. maybe im wrong thought
The M3's that are on my cav were tapped to the brake lights... what you are saying about the left turn was true, but the right one was on steady (since the rear wire you are tapping is a combo brake/turn wire).
Standard, auto, makes no difference to the brake/turn wire.
Once they are wired up, wait till it gets dark, then go out and hit the brakes w/out turning on the turn signal. Should be able to see a slight "halo" around the outer edge of the mirror. If they don't light up steady, great
If they do, time to run wiring to the fronts (or use my fix of installing Toyo tails
)
