My take on Turn Signal Mirrors.

My take on Turn Signal Mirrors.
So Ive always wanted to convert my manual mirror to signal mirrors. I read the https://www.ranger-forums.com/f59/ho...signals-66518/ and I just never liked how the lights in the write up look. I think they would look out of place on the 06+ mirrors. I hopped on ebay and started looking at some cheap LED strips. I found a 9 LED strip that I though would work well. Ordered them up and this is what I came up with. Sorry about the photo and video quality all were taken with my cell phone..
With the mirror already off the truck I mounted the LED strip to the inside of the mirror housing just far enough back to still have full range of motion when the glass is in.
Now with the manual mirror there is no way to get the wire through to the inside of the cab so I had to drill a small hole to allow the wire to pass through..
Basically the rest is the same as the write up. Tap the wire for the turn signal, ground the LED strip and we are ready to see what it looks like. Again sorry for the picture quality Ill have to get some better pictures up.

Overall I think it turned out great. Gives it that clean factory look.

I totally agree with that. I doubt they will prevent a wreck. But i think they tasteful mod that does add something to the truck. Its one of those things where your sitting at a light and you see it and say "hey thats pretty cool"
