sport mirrors?
i got these new sport mirrors with led turn signals on them, do you think that they are too "ricy" (something you'd see on a honda)?

my only question is, how did you get power to the lights in the mirror? did you tap off an existing line to the mirror motor?

It wouldnt be that hard, you would have to wire into the relay for the flashers, then run that up to the mirrors.

the power mirrors still work and i ran wires to the side markers so that the lights would only come on when i was signaling. i did this because they are so blue and i didn't want to get pulled over for people thinking that the blue was from police, kinda lame, but what can you do?

Wow, I dunno about that. Its like on the borderline riceness. While the m3 look mirrors are cool, the leds......But anyways, its your car! You can do as see fit. As long as you like them, then its all gravy.

Could you post another pic of the front of your car? I've looked into those front turn signals and would like to see what they look like on your car

I like the M3 look, but don't care for the light effects.
Does anyone know if you can put stock M3 mirrors on a standard 325? Anyone know the price? |
