I like lights. Oh and the white painted mirrors are pretty snazzy imo also.

Oh boy, now I need to do this...

How bout some instructions as "how to?"

I still have to do the other one the body guy messed up a piece so I have to wait til tomorrow or wed to get that. So I will take some more pics to show what I did.

:drop_mout WOW, I love that setup..... Did you paint the mirrors yourself.....

I would assume no since he mentioned a body guy.

They look great though. We will need installed photos.

Did you follow the DIY post on how to put the LED's in the tow mirrors to do this? It looks absolutely killer! WE WANT PICS!!! Great job!

i like those a lot. lookks real nice. instructions please.

love the LEDs! Its the ONLY feature i like on the new Furds,the tlighted towing mirrors.

did he paint the inner parts too that way when the are extended you dont see black? if so is there any problems with the paint chipping/scratching when pulling in and out? i was wondering about that

cant wait for install pics, looks great

Looks real good!!

Nope its still black in there. I told him not to paint it because of that very reason. I will have pics of them on the truck hopefully early next week when I get my truck back.

Those are the leds I used. I took them apart to remove the lense from the black back. Then cut a square hole about 3/4" for the light to go thru and then sandwitched the black backing and the clear lense thru the hole. It was pretty easy.

Got anymore pics...Some detailed ones of the install hopefully? I have my mirrors out in the shop and I want to do this and then get them painted so I can put them on!

Thanks,

Adrien

Please give us more and bigger pics! Great idea!

They look great! I considered doing this to mine as well. But... if you don't have the extender part painted, I assume that you don't intend to pull them out. I understand that you wouldn't paint them for the sole fact they may chip. But if you do pull em out then...? I guess I'm just curious as what they look like pulled out.

Jesus those are sickkkkk please post more pics/info.

there was another guy on here that had in inner part painted but i dont know how well its holding up... if its a tight fit like you would think it would be... then you would think it would chip off... i wanna paint my inner but it couldnt be put on very heavy at all.. mil thickness would be an issue sliding in/out...

Well, in my opinion not painting the inside isn't that big of a deal. You only really need to extend them when towing and I'm sure most of us don't tow a 40 ft. trailer every single day. You could always get them Gel Coated which is more durable, but also quite a bit thicker and it might mess up the tolerances as far the letting them mirrors extend. *shrug*

Adrien

Not sure how close the tolerances are. Mine seem to vibrate out about 1/4 inch every couple days and I have to push them back in. Definately like the light idea though! There was another tread on this a while back only he used 3 small LED's. I think this would look better.
How about some pics/instructions??

Pics in the garage of it on my truck. Sorry for the crappy pics its with the phone camera but u get the idea. Once the new headache rack is on with the stacks and 14 more lights il post up good digital camera pics.

Good gosh man.....that looks awesome I love those, Im gonna order another set and paint mine also......Thanks for the pics

Looks good did you mod the to sit level too?

I did I just used 1 washer under the top screws and thats what I got.

I am thinking of selling these mirrors like you send me your set and il sand em paint em and led em anyone interested pm me.

Think you could put a picture up of when they are off up close so we can see what they look like when the lights off.

Any new close up pics yet? I really want to do this mod!:cool:
