Thanks buddy [emoji2]JayWildChevy said:Clean engine bay!!!
Maybe, maybe not. I'm undecidedSib said:Nice. Time to hit up TXBlazer and get some led inserts.
I would if I had the money. They're cheaper than I remember them being ($50) and he can put pretty much any color in them.Capote said:Maybe, maybe not. I'm undecided
I can't justify spending anywhere close to that for LED inserts to these...Mounce said:I would if I had the money. They're cheaper than I remember them being ($50) and he can put pretty much any color in them.
Do the turn signals work? Like all you had to do was plug in the connector and *bam* turn signal mirrors?
$50 isn't too bad considering the craftsmanship he puts into them. Great quality and a fellow GMTNation member to boot. It'll clean up the mirrors nicely.Capote said:I can't justify spending anywhere close to that for LED inserts to these...
Yup, plug n' play. Just wish the signals functioned like the front turn signals, if they did I would put lil 194 switchback LEDs in
Too bad the signals don't stay on, wish they atleast did at nightSib said:$50 isn't too bad considering the craftsmanship he puts into them. Great quality and a fellow GMTNation member to boot. It'll clean up the mirrors nicely.
Yeah it is a shame dudeMounce said:For some reason that never even crossed my mind. That's kinda sad. [emoji45]
I agree. I am sure there's got to be a way to tap them into the parking lights somehow.Capote said:Too bad the signals don't stay on, wish they atleast did at night
Yeah I'm sure, but I don't feel like running anymore wires. I have quite enough up there as it is lolSib said:I agree. I am sure there's got to be a way to tap them into the parking lights somehow.
I should of gotten the power folding version, but it was like $50 more. Oh wellBlckshdw said:It's not too difficult. That's what I did with LED mirror mod version 1. Just need a couple of relays, wiring and connectors. When your mod bug starts feenin, and wants a mirror mod fix, let me know, I'll be your pusher
Kinda lost me there Carlton lol, buuut thankfully I've got Brandon down here to make sense of that, but I understand the way to do it for the stock bulb setup.Blckshdw said:Can't quite remember everything, cuz it was forever ago, and I didn't make a schematic... Used a DPDT relay underneath the steering column, and a SPDT relay in each door. Although my stock mirrors didn't have turn signals, so I had to add them, so it would be slightly different for you.
Took the turn signal in each door and applied it to one side of the SPDT relay coils, parking light signal (ground) to the other side of the coil. Don't remember the exact connections to the LEDs, but the outputs then went to the + of the LED strips I was using. The - is grounded as usual. Under the dash is a thick bundle of cables, one of which (brown wire) carries the parking light signal to the trailer plug. Set up the DPDT relay connection to the doors, to be connected to ground, until the parking light came on, then switch over to the parking light signal.
Logic behind these connections: In the doors, if either signal is on, the opposing connection is used as a ground for the relay, causing it to activate, and sends the signal to the LEDs, lighting them up on that side. BUT, if neither, or both signals are hot, then there's no current flow across the coil, and the relay turns (stays) off. The DPDT relay under the dash has to be grounded when the parking signal is off, otherwise the turn signal will backfeed through the relay into the trailer parking light wire when the parking lights are off, causing your other mirror to flash. Guess how I found this out? (I also had a lift gate LED bar plugged into the trailer connector, so that was nice to look at )
Now, the non LED version (but who really wants that?) you just cut the ground wire connections at the mirror's plug going into the door module, and extend the connection to that trailer parking signal under the dash. There's enough resistance in the filament bulb that the turn signals won't backfeed on you. If you do this mod, I will call all the BKs in your county and tell them to ban you from ordering chicken nuggets.
They are only off a a tad, not insanely off. Just gonna have to move the needles left more for their starting positions, then keep slightly adjusting until it's right. You'd be able to do this mod Ryan. It's a straightforward one.SnowBlazer said:See what happens when you mess with the cluster?
Thanks brother, nope I ripped out the bulbs. You can see in the picturesSnowBlazer said:Gotcha. I gotta say, it looks pretty clean. Are you still running the OEM bulbs as well?
Thanks Carlton, surprised nobody has ever asked me about it before todayBlckshdw said:Never seen that before. Creative idea, I like that.
Gotta hit up that HVAC controller next though
Will do, I have 4 unused white 5050 strips, so I'm set [emoji106]Blckshdw said:Make sure you put white ones behind the temp sliders, otherwise the colors will not light up properly. I had blue ones there initially, and the blue looked great, but the red was barely visible at night.
Lol Badass man, but I'll never get rid of my Lund "All Weather Xtreme" custom fit ones, spent a lot on the full set including cargo area [emoji14]Blckshdw said:When it's time for some floor mat upgrades, I think these might look right at home in your truck.

Lol nuh uhhhh, only other repairs besides what I did today was Alternator. Only things left are a broken valve spring or lifter and power steering seals. Then I can go ahead with continuing more expensive mods [emoji14]dmanns67 said:This is turning into a repair thread versus a build thread
I remember way back you mentioning something about HP tuners or something and being able to use it for, you, Charles, and I. What software you have to tune it?BlazingTrails said:I will tune it for you next time you come up bto. I thought I told you already?
