DIY Door Mirror Cover With LED and turn signal arrow led.

Door Mirror Cover w LED Honda Jazz and Fit 09 GE8 JDM | eBay

Paid on May 30th and arrived in San Diego July 17th.

Unboxing and review:


I'm also going to be installing amber turn signal arrows on the mirror.
Here is a quick video of it on my Accord. The led arrows is install behind the mirror.



I will update this post with a DIY install video next week.

I am looking forward to your install of the arrows behind the mirrors. I am not sure if I can put those behind my heated mirrors or not.

Here is a video of my amber signals. I did not hook up the blue lights as they are illegal here. I did label the wire in case someone wants to later on.

I had a problem with one of the clips not catching. It has been 3 years now and it has not fallen off through car washes etc.

Oh don't do what I did. I get down to the final part ie connecting to signal light circuit. I turn on left signal light and the winker is not working. I walk around car and the one on the right is working. I mixed up the two lights. Duh.



p.s. make sure to have soft towels under the mirrors and covers when putting together as you need to exert a bit of force to clip them on and could scratch the covers.

update: While I was transferring the video files from my memory card to my computer, the files got corrupted and I lost majority of the files. I will do another video next weekend for the install...

until then, here is a video of the led turn signal arrow installation:




Also, I think I'm going to make a new thread for the installation videos. I tried to change the title of this thread but it does not update the title on the main thread listing.
