Get the depo top & bottom LED! I love mine. Sure they're no J's Stellar-V, but they're still really cool. They come in smoked versions too, or you could put the Headlight Armor smoked vinyl over them.

Went from a 300mm to 400mm Broadway convex mirror. It's huge, ridiculous, and I love it.

Gonna need a heat gun too if you want to wrap it around those oddly shaped lenses.

If you plan on only wrapping a portion of the light I wouldn't waste the money on the HA vinyl. If you ARE doing the whole light I'd say it's worth it. But if you have a tint guy, maybe he'd do the tails for you. If he does more than just windows I'm sure he could do it. Or maybe another tint shop. Also if you're doing just a portion of the lights I would definitely recommend having a pro do it. That stuff is hard to do in my experience.

i see... hummmm.... considering DiNoc is a dry install with heatgun and this is more of a wet install + heat gun it might be challenge for me.

i suppose i will just stop looking at my car from behind.

.
Do the sunvisors hit the mirror when they swing or does it fold in front of it?

I've been thinking about getting one that's just a little bit bigger than the one I have currently (not as big as yours, but I dig it ) but I want to be able to swing the visors without messing with the mirror. I thought they might have enough room to swing in front...

Today my low beam and high beam are both not working but DRL are . Car is Canadian and has the hard wired daytime running lights are on automatically. To my surprise they are running and then go off. I have no High Beam blue indicator lamp inside cabin, all fuses seem good, the DRL light comes on and then fades out when turning on the lights but no lamp response with or without ebreak. My question is could it be the bulb? I have not checked but was witness to them burning out at the same time 630am. The car is 6 years old now. please help. ? thanks


btw I have had that very mirror from 3 cars ago in this one.
