Since you can't see it from the side, I think I'm gonna switch the two, so the turn signal is in white...

Violin · 07-07-2007, 09:06 AM

ummm.... what?

the_boss · 07-07-2007, 09:52 AM

freaking nice DIY by the way

it's legal in canada to have white running light on mirror some FJ cruser have some little round white light on the mirror!

Violin · 07-07-2007, 04:47 PM

There is a bundle of 4 wires running up from inside the fender to up under each headlight. Those are the ones I have pictured. You have to remove the headlights to get at them. Tap the wires I showed for power - the red wire from the mirror is the power wire for the amber LED and the black is the ground. The ground can go to just about any bolt inside the cabin.

Thanks for translating.

Ya une couette de 4 fils qui passe dans chaque coter de fender (aile) jusqua la lumiere avant. ses ceux qu'il a photographier. Faut enlever l'assemblage de la lumiere pour y acceder. tap le fil qui apporte le courant au blinker avec le fil rouge du miroire (courant pour les led jaune) et le noir ses le ground ou mise a la terre, tu peut grounder sur n'importe quel boulons pis sa va faire!

NOTE DE MOI MEME: prend le fil conducteur des blinker avant pis plug les avec le rouges des led jaune du mirroires. dans sa photo y montre quel fil tu doit connecter!. Jespere que sa va aider!

love the global community around here!!!

I am definitely doing this mod. Anyone know where I can get CF LED mirrors?

cali yaris · 07-07-2007, 09:28 PM

one more thing. If you don't mind my asking, why not just wire to the side marker, which is only about a foot away from the mirror?

You do realize that the side markers let the idiot in your blind spot know that you and to turn andthat mirror won't achieve that right?

The side markers are a safety thing.

Yes but strangely enough, go look around at pics of the stock USDM sedan... no side markers!

Canuck · 08-03-2007, 12:12 AM

And a lot of US cars still have red rear turn signals that are impossible to see, What's your point?

But you can see the front turn signals on the sedan from the side:

Not so with the liftback.

You'll patch and paint the holes in the fender?
