do the lights on the mirrors work as blinkers?

 

They are intended as signals. I used 4 diodes and modified the wiring so they are both markers and signals.

Yeah he modded them to work as blinkers. Read his build up post in this thread

Also, OEM type mods are the shit!

Looks really good!, makes me want some for my truck

 

ahhh, do want! how much did they run you?

 

Fuck those look good.

 

They were $250 shipped, but run less if you don't get heated glass or signals.

 

go wash that truck plz

 

Those look really good on your truck... i've been wanting to install tow mirrors on my nbs crew cab for a while now.

Oh you have no idea how badly I wish I could right now. We had a few weeks of snow with freezing temps and now it has gone and melted. Now everything is covered in de-icer, dirt and gravel on the paved areas and my driveway is all mud. Really there is no point, it will look just like this after one day of driving it to town and back.

 

After multiple people asking how to wire the LEDs in as signal and parking lights, I FINALLY had enough time to draw a wiring diagram. If you can't figure it out from here, there isn't really much else I can do. You'll need 4 diodes for each mirror, and 12v+ from the parking lights and each respective signal 12V+

Basically, whichever circuit is de-energized acts as the ground circuit, if both are energized they have no ground and the light turns off. Both the parking and signal circuit have a floating ground when off, hence how the light can utilize this wiring to function. It's exactly how the front 194 marker light is wired.

 

Great to know info. :waytogo:

So the power heated turnsignal mirrors, is that using the OEM mirror controls? How about a truck that doesn't have OEM mirror controls? Do they come with a switch to mount and how cheesey does it look or function???

 

The full power/heated version are for trucks that already had power options and use the factory switch. I made my own harness and used a S-series power mirror switch for my truck to add power and a toggle switch for heat.

 

So are you swapping these over to the new truck now since it's the new towpig?

 

Yup. I do like them on here though, and have gotten used to the visibility and power function, so I might get another set as I will tow with this truck in certain situations.

 

We were going to get some for my friend's truck a while back but then his mom started driving it when he got a different truck so he kinda lost interest. They look good though. I bet they will look even better on the 6.5.

 

man they look good, nice

 

I figured I'd update this, swapped the mirrors over to my "new" 99 silverado, got them wired up yesterday.
