Turn Signals in Mirrors (M3 style)

[TDUB]

Damn. I want to do something similar on mine but I want it to sit flush with the back of the mirror.

threads never die there just brought up like its yesterdays topic... when its actually been 3 years

this is how the internet is built, haha but i had to bump it because i will be doing this to my car someday, and im sure others can appreciate the work that went into this mod.

I forgot about it til it was resurrected.

I'd also like to do something like this, but have the lens less obtrusive.

Hooking up the signal wires were tricky - as the LS uses a multiplex wiring system - there is a Front Electronics Module:

Can someone clarify? Just tap into these two FEM wires and good to go? In Quiks V LED instruction he says ground to car... won't I end up having constant power to the turn signals?

Three FEM wires, as shown in post #7.
"Common" is the positive wire. It will be at 12V all the time that the car is awake. The two labeled turn signal wires are the switched grounds to the signal bulbs/LEDs.

(I can't actually make out which three wires he identified, but I assume shows the correct ones.)
PS: I don't see anywhere in this thread where Quick says anything about "ground to car."

The very bottom says it was taken from a Taurus forum, so that'd be why they're all Taurus parts in the pics and instructions. There's ready-made arrow boards for this purpose all over the web now in case you don't want to make your own board
