Help on Installing LED Mirrors on My 06 Cruiser

[monkeyracer]

The ones I liked are from genkituning:



I saw these ones from motor energy:



But I wanted the ones with the amber, blue and white leds.

These are for the motor, and plug into the oem wires, not sure what color yet though...

Shorter wires---white,blue,black

wire the white to the positive wire on the turn signals, according to muth, the green wire with a brown stripe on the drivers side and the brown wire with a red stripe on the passenger side. Then ground each black wire. The blue wire is for the blue LEDs and would be used in place of the white (check state laws), or could be hooked up to the parking lights or a switch...

2 bundles of extra wires-blue,white,black....didnt measure to see how long..

to extend if you need to, but you can use any wire that's at least 20 gauge or higher.


Hope that helps. As soon as I get my set (they will ship out monday) I can take some pics of my install and how it goes.

thats is the same info i found.. I am hoping that the wire colors are the same since that is for 01-02 PT.. I am going to open the panel up today..

Anyone here from Texas that can clear up the law on Mirror blinkers.. This is what I found .. okay i get the white or amber...but what are the colors between white and amber???

A turn signal lamp shall emit:
(1) a white or amber light, or a color between white
and amber, if the lamp is mounted on the front of the vehicle; or
(2) a red or amber light, or a color between red and
amber, if the lamp is mounted on the rear of the vehicle.

This came from the DPS site itself..... To me i think blue falls in between...What do you think

[monkeyracer]

The law is vague, in the spectrum of light, white is all the colors together, and between white and amber could be any shade of the visible spectrum which would include blue.
However, the law is meant to be interpreted as "a white or amber light, or a color that is a shade of amber as light as white." or something to that effect.
If I were you, I'd skip hooking up the blue and save yourself the hassle. (I was pulled over passing through TX when I had my tire valve lights on, it was just a warning since I was from out of state and just passing through, but he said it would have been a ticket if I were a native.)

I was just thinking that if you wanted to, you could hook up both wires to a spst switch, and leave it on the blue position, but if you get pulled over or otherwise need to, switch it to amber.

This way you could show the cop that they are amber and he'll probably let you off with a warning...

What type of switch is that??? SPST Switch. You talking about running both the blue and white wire and connecting them to the Positive on the turn signal... I didnt know if you could.. But the switch would make sense..
Oh I was starting on " Project Mirrors " ... I found the Green wire with brown stripe ( on drivers side ).... but I went to the passenger side, pulled the kicker pannel...no wires....did i miss something?? I went back to Muth Mirrors directions...it says..

Wiring for the passenger side turn indicator is located in the passenger side kick panel. Carefully slice the tape that covers the large bundle of wires which are routed to the back of the vehicle. Here you will locate a

BROWN WIRE WITH
A RED STRIPE. Test that wire to ensure it is the correct wire. Label that wire as‘passenger side turn’.

Wire
I am going to take pictures of each step so that other people can look at this for ref... Tryn to do my part..

I may have meant a DPDT switch, which means dual pole, dual throw.

Look at the diagrams below:




You would wire the oem wire to post B (one for each side, there are 6 total posts, keep them seperate to prevent the wrong lights from lighting up.)
Then amber to post A, and blue to post C.

In position one, the posts A and B are connected to close the circuit, and when the turn signals are activated, they will light up amber, flip the switch to position two, and the posts B and C are connected and the signals will light up blue.

You would have to run wire from the kick panels, to the switch, back to each mirror, so you would need to get some extra wire.

I got you ... I am going to wait to install .. My wire tester grew legs..you know what i mean... I found the wire on the driver side, but be careful.. There are 2 wires that have a brownish color.. I have to test it first before i hook into.. Still no wires on the passanger though, unless they are under the glove box..Like i said though i am going to wait... Figure i would put in the 6 x 9 s in that back pannel... So project Mirror is on hold
