xB2 Side Mirror LED Swap Done!

I actually did this like a week ago. It was fairly easy. You do have to yank the mirror glass off to release the the tabs that hold the mirror cover on, but its not bad.

I suppose you guys want pics huh???

Randode,

I LOVE your mods. You keep things so dang simple but they look SOOO good. You make mods easier for the rest of us.

I ordered a couple things from your website (chrome engine cover overlays and light grey visor warning label covers) for my new xB.

Keep up the great work!

pop the mirror glass off.
the mirror cover is clipped on, so use a srewdiver to pop the tabe loose from inside the mirror.
remove the screws that hold the turn signal to the mirror.
unclip the led part from the clear part of the turn signal.
lift out the board.
remove the leds, and replace with the color of your choice.
I used white 5mm leds. They are too tall to fit, so i belt sanded the tips down a little.
also, the old leds are the 4 pin type, i used regular 2 pin leds, and installed them diagonally in the holes on the board.
