Good idea and very visible. Problem I found with last van and various VW's is that they seem to attract damage. 1951 80" S1 2.0

Been thinking of doing a similar thing myself. Nothing too technical, possibly just a row of 5 or 6 amber LEDs on the outside edge of each mirror housing. 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful

I was thinking something nice looking you know not like something stuck on there. Something that integrates into the original ideal I guess with mirror covers. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

What sort of depth are the side wing indicators ?
Too deep ? It's good to be back from the dark side DC110 -2012 Black with black hood and black x-tech FFRR 4.2 vogue Renault traffic auto PT crusier convertible Laika x700 Motorhome |

Sparkylee - Around 3/4" I'd say. Probably a bit deep.
Something like this I guess would do: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Button-12v-Amber...5aeecf176b I wish they were not round though if they were square I'd certainly like them! *EDIT* Go - Beyond (Matt) That was where I got the idea from but those covers are blank and don't have the lights included nor the holes.

I know, but I remembered the picture.
I've used those covers, they're great for the price and easy to colour code. There is plenty of room to fit lights, just find a design you like. Wiring is easy but time consuming if you want an invisible job |

Only wiring problem and annoyance I can think of is cable routing down the arm and in? I seem to remember D44 had a guide or something like that. (I think!) Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Ah top man! Your own.
 I was wondering if the mirror arm was hollow too....
Can't be the hidden stealth mods.. How did you wire in to the indicators? Just tap in somewhere? Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

I haven't done the indicators, that was for heated mirrors but same concept.

Very nice but they've brought the cable out of the bottom so you'll see it ....

I just saw these and that "landreiziger" website is very well done. I see that they have their own nice workshop near Dordrecht, so sent them a mail today inquiring about availability of these heated mirrors with turn signal repeaters, and especially if they have a very good solution and experience for installing and wiring them into a Puma. Will keep posted here of what they will come back with. The mirrors itself look quite nicely done I think. Definitely interested.
