very nice i like the idea of the lights on the mirror too, anybody know if it would be possible to tie them in to the blinkers too and how hard that would be or issues it might cause?

Here's a pic of the lights in the package so anyone that's interested in them will know what they are looking for.....

I just added cab lights to my truck and was going to add some lights to the side mirrors but couldn't find any at the time. Yours look good, but I was wondering if they blind you at night. It seems like the ones on the F250's are mounted on the outside of the mirror housing and shine away from the cab. (I have never ridden in an F250 with these lights so I'm just guessing). I was thinking that having the lights on the bottom of the mirror like that might get kind of bright at night. Just curious.

Also, how difficult was it to get the wiring through the mirror housing? Did you have to remove the mirror?

I will be doing this as well. I got three styles to check out. the skinny one is flexible and im pretty sure ill be going with that one to wrap around the corner of the mirror.

No they don't blind you at all. They are a long ways from the truck

And yes you do need to take the mirror off so you can split the housing and run the wires threw the door. It's a pretty good little job. I say you can do it in about 2 hrs. Ill see if I can find a pic at night or I'll take one and post it here.
