Thread: How to: LED turn signal mirrors

FWIW, when you do this..consider doing puddle lights. It's such a great thing and you are already in the mirror housing.

Yeah thats a good idea Bill. Thanks for the info!

Bill, how will this work for a 2000 GP? I can probably try and get LED pods from a junkyard or something, but do you know if GP mirrors have the good heating elements?

Also, what do you reckon is the best course of action with puddle lights?

I think it's doable. GP's don't appear to have heating elements in all years/models.

On puddle lights, do what I did.

those would probably work better, the ones bills uses are really are to find. i found them using his guys but he doubled the price on me.

bill, i have a question regarding dis-assembly of the side view regal mirror.

my stock mirror got hit and the glass broke. my housing is black. i picked up a junk yard replacement but its blue, now ive taken the black one apart as its dead and i like to tear into stuff when i have a idea, and well the guts are trash anyways, but i figured out how to pull it all apart, but was wondering if you had any tips or ways you would go about popping the glass off the power mirror motor with out breaking the glass, and then removing the glass off the plastic part with out breaking it. and what is goop? is that a name brand you used to glue stuff in with?

and it would seem upon re assembly, you need to snap the plastic part that the glass is glued to on to the motor, then screw the motor in, then glue the glass on. correct me if im wrong on this one.

thanks for your time.

To replace only a mirror and not the housing. You get your fingers around the black backing of the mirror and pull quick to pop the clips that hold the mirror/backing to the motor. You have a chance of breaking it. You line up the backing with the motor to reassemble and push until it clicks and holds on both axis's and the center pivot point. There is a chance to break the glass, try and be careful.

I pushed the glass gently through the couple of holes in teh backing to get the glass off the backing. Then yes.. used one of the "Goop" products to hold it together when done.

They also have like All Purpose that would work... practically any Goop would work.

thanks bill, that's how i took the broken one apart, but with broken glass its hard to tell if there's a better way. i was hopping there was a safe way to get it all apart. looks like slow and steady might win this race.

got it all back together, the glass popped out while trying to get the mount off the motor, was very happy it came off in one piece.

put all the parts on first and glued the mirror back on it last. glued it with 4 small dabs of gorilla glue. its setting up now.

i love it when a plan come together!

already got the parts for teh prix.

Over a year later I was able to pull a set for free. Can't wait to get this what seems to be a easy project.

So the caddy mirror will fit into the GP housing?

What are the chances you buy the color you want, and keep in mind law enforcement may not like some colors.

When I did the led mirrors on my 04 gtp I took a set of the strip leds 3" long had 3 leds in each.

I simply cut away some of the black plastic backing with a razor and without modifying the mirror Itself at all they shined through bright enough for me to be to satisfied. Here's a picture of them before I moved the leds to behind the mirror and from horIzontal to vertIcal. I can't seem to find a picture of the final.

Oh and btw the 04+ have positive output off the bcm for the front turn signals. So it's a simple ground and left, right trigger. I can pull a diagram if someone needs it.

I plan to do the same thing with my new comp g as soon as i get down the list of to do's.
