Re: Courtesy Ligh&Footwell Lighting
How'd you mount the LEDs underneath the mirrors?

Re: Courtesy Ligh&Footwell Lighting
Looks very nice! Any chance of a how-to?
I was going to take my mirror caps off soon to have them painted along with the front bumper (to get rid of all the stone chips). Would be nice to do this mod whilst I have them apart....

Re: Courtesy Ligh&Footwell Lighting
its simple...run the wires to the dome light. wire the LED"s and BAM u got em!
im not gonna have time to do it. going on a 10 day cruise soon
as far as the LED"s i bought one of those pictured that have 194 bulb base and cut the base to fit in the mirror assy. sealed with rubber sealant and ran the wires to the dome light with pit stops at the foot well.

Re: Courtesy Ligh&Footwell Lighting
Looks good, question(s): any fault codes thrown yet? On a scale of 1 to 10, how easy was it to snake through rubber door conduit?

Re: Courtesy Ligh&Footwell Lighting
1)no fault code... why?
2)i didn't i just ran outside in between the doors. just covered them with elec tape. half ass, gets the job done.
if I might add.... the ground at the dome light doesn't like all the added wires so the negative wire for the added lights need to be grounded to the chassis which I did inside of the dome light on the Windshield header...If i knew of this sooner, I would have grounded it elsewhere but found out after i wired everything and found it didn't work. after few tests...ground was lacking.

Re: Courtesy Ligh&Footwell Lighting
i used the same LED for footwell and mirror because they have wide viewing angle but they were 194 bulb base which made it easier rather than having me solder my own resistors.
