2G: What happens when u leave side mirrors and side markers alone for too long...

[halik008]

well they start humping and poping out these crazy looking hybrids.......

BTW most of the credit goes to dave99gst who cut and bondo them together and did most of the shaping. All i did was fnial sanding and paint...

 

[DSMvroom]

wow that is pretty f*cking cool!

the lens is a little big, but brilliant idea/work.

 

[MaNGiNa24]

I would have used smaller lights or just purchased one of those $60 sets off of ebay and wired my sidemarkers to them, but thats a creative idea.

Light is a lil big but cool none the less.

 

[quiksilver38]

hey thats pretty cool ! yeah if they were smaller im down for that new-vo look liek all the new cars got

 

[halik008]

Oh these puppies only costed me $3.50 (black paint). Dave actually started makinf thses for somebody but never got around finish them. He was gonna trash them so i rescued them from the scrapper. I still have the regular mirror housing so i can swap them back anytime i was to.

i was gonna tape them off to be smaller and paint part of the lens itself but then said screw it the light will probably show thru the paint so i taped it off @ the edge...

Looks like you two did a good job, however I think our stock sidemarker piece does not look good there; it does not flow.

Agreed. However, I give you a big for innovation. Awesome, dude.

The lenses are a bit too big in my opinion but definitely a very nice custom job

FYI - i started those like 3 years ago, back when ya couldnt really buy mirrors for dsm's

lust take two pictures in a row one of them is bound to be with the light on

 

[mavisky]

So how do you replace the bulb when it burns out?

he he he let's hope it doesn't happen very often......unbolt the mirror (3 screws) ..unbolt the mirror guts from mirror shell (3 screws)...pull the acutal glass mirror....replace the buld like u would on the side marker....


he he he you guys wouldn't believe how much time i spend trying to take the picture when the lights are on, so u better appreciate them!!

am i the only one who doesn't like them? Im not trying to bust anyones bubble but I just don't like the way they look at night.

Yeah, they STILL dont make em for 1g's.
I may look into getting something custom made after I put my engine back in. The ones on the luxury cars look really pimp at night.

I don't think they look good at night either. Good work, but on all the time during night it doesn't look right. Maybe wire them to the blinkers, would be a cool idea.

they are wired to the blinkers. I got the emergency lights on in that picture and captured the image in the "on" stage of blinking. They only work with conjuction with the turning signal.....
