: Signals on back side of mirrors?

Is there anyway to get a signal on the back side of the mirror, and which doubles as a park light. When I have my mirrors all the way out at night, I am afraid some goof will be too close and take one off.

TTT mirrors has a really nice setup.

You could add something if you found something that looked good. I will see what I can dig up.

I have the Lucerix ones and it looks like there is a place for a light, it's just not there. An upgrade kit would be nice.

Ditto on the CIPA Extendable. There is some sort of insert on the mirror housing that appears to be for a light. I have not been able to remove that insert - although I haven't tried very hard. I don't think a ligth is available for this mirror, though. So it doesn't really matter, does it!

I’ve had thoughts of mounting amber lights on my CIPA’s also, but haven’t found a light that looked simple to mount. I’d wire them to running lights and blinkers. This would be a safety factor when towing. A lot cheaper than up-grading, (again), to TTT’s. I’d prefer to mount lights on bottem so they don’t get bumped, but on the side they’d be more visable. LED’s would last forever.
I’ve looked at lights below, but mounting may not be easy.
I’ll keep looking.

I've got a few ideas that might work. Am I mistaking in thinking that to get into the mirror you probably have to bust the glass?
