These look really great. If I wasn't planning on switching to tow mirrors real soon I'd be throwing my money at you.

Can you do all Hyper Bright White? and is it still $50.00?TXBlazer said:Here's the lowdown on The Mirror LED Inserts. I have designed and built this cool little LED insert that just slides into the Mirror Lens and a SSTL bolt holds it in place. All you have to do is remove your Lens, remove the Stock Bulb & Socket, pop the reflector insert out of the Lens, slide the LED Insert in, install the retaining screw, plug the LED's in (turn on your 4-way flashers to make sure they are plugged in correctly) replace the Lens and you're done!!
The LED Inserts are $50 a pair including ground shipping.
The set shown above has 18 LED's, 9 facing Front and 9 Back. Amber is the color I stock, so custom colors are not out of the question, it will just take a few days to get other colors.
Here's the set I did for Speedmaster747
PM me if you have any questions.

Thank you both! I might also go with Hyper White forward and red backwards. I don't know how that look honestly though.

When I had my version of this mod, that was the color scheme I chose too. Looked pretty good IMO, but maybe I'm a little biased
Venomhatch said:
I was gonna say cheap and used isn't possible, but considering the price you got on that complete SS dash... I'm sure if anyone can find em for less than the Ebay prices, you will!

I haven't done any tail boards in quite a while.....Kinda busy with the LED inserts, and some body work. Pretty soon it will be Drag time, so most of my time will be at the track.

They do look pretty slick.
This video shows the red rear white front set. iPhone video makes it look shabby but trust me at night, its a 100% difference from the stock amber T6 bulbs. Even in daylight I can see these clearly now. I did do some dremel re work on the back black plastic inserts in to make everything water tight as these things are prone to that even in stock configuration.

First post on this site BTW, I converted over from the other site I won't name here.
Thanks TX. good work on these.

I copied the video and put it up on TBSSOwners. Thanks for the video!! Your paint is different, kinda subtle, but still stands out!!

Yeah my paint is unique. Its basically matte black with 4 or so layers of satin clear coat on top. Similar to "hot rod black" as some folks keep calling it.
It seemed like a great idea but not well thought out unfortunately, much like pearl paint jobs when I get a ding or scratch I'm repainting huge portions of the truck to keep it a unified tone.
The side air brushing flames also make that a necessity (those are actually not decals but painted on with grey/white fade off).
I had to re paint one front fender on the passenger side to the tune of $1900 for example, so like I said, looks good but it sure is a pricey setup.
I might take my beast out on a sunny day and snap a few pictures and upload to the galleries here if I can figure that out.
Like I said, keep those modes coming, this one looks good.

Just got a pair of the Amber inserts from BlckShdw, now I need to light them up. Would you recommend Amber or white for Amber lenses? Also, is there a mod to turn a few of the LEDs to parking lights? (1/3 on with parking lights, other 2/3 to flash with signal if parking lights on, all to flash with lights off?

You'll want to use amber LEDs behind the amber lenses, otherwise you'll get a light yellow color if you mix them. I believe the strips are 1 positive and 1 ground for the entire length of LEDs, so any logic you come up with would have to be applied to the whole setup, unless you did some custom LED setup and go some blank bases from him to mount them to. 
With the way I have the inserts set up there is no way to light just part of them, they are 12 LED strips that are encased in clear flexible PVC, they are either all on or all off.
Blckshdw is correct, with amber lenses you should go with amber LED's...with white LED's they will look very light yellow, or with red LED's they will look dark orange.

I forgot to ask what's the "warranty" on these inserts? They're cheap enough that I would mind replacing them if they went out, but just wonderingTXBlazer said:
