Mirror ambient light

[Theo1979!]

Yesterday a installed ambient light in the mirrors

 

[Dellmassive]

Thats fancy....

More details please. =)

 

[Theo1979!]

It’s very easy.

Take a power led strip red 30 cm. And install on the ring behind de mirror. Connect the strip at mirror heat connector and ready for take off

That is just sooooo cool! Well done! Love it

 

[Dellmassive]

So its on when heated mirrors are on then?

Not sure I'd want that. Unless it's just for while parked up at shows etc

It’d probably function well if amber and tied in to the side-repeaters, with it being a lot lot cheaper than the legit mirror-repeater lenses!

Ooh if it can work on the indicators I am up for that easy trick.

@Dellmassive would this work on taking power from the side indicators?

I think you actually entered the URL in the correct format, but I re-entered it as a stand-alone bit of text and the site configured it for me
