Looks awesome man!

Thanks!!

I read a review and it said they have a clear lens and a red housing. Is that how yours is? Or am I looking at the wrong light?

Nope, the only clear on the lens is the reverse light part, the rest is completely red.

These are mine

Well, Monday I wired up my Mirrors as turn signals and Running lights. New problem: Now they only flash when the park lights are on, not just with the turn signal. Only thing that has changed in the wiring is the ground, it moved. I might try running a wire from the mirror to the old ground to see if that clears it up.

After I get the wiring fixed and everything working how it should, a write up will follow with video.

Did you see my signal/light wiring for the mirrors? To properly get them as signal and parking light you need 4 diodes and the 12V from parking lights and 12V from signal. There should be no ground for the lights at all.

OT: Where did you get your side steps? I want those that run the length of the cab but with only one step...

I was trying to do like that one dude at the end of that thread, he said they work just fine if you wire them to the 194....guess not. lol.

They actually came with the truck. They are Westin Platinum Series bars.

Well, i didn't want to wire them up without being sure they were protected. I haven't tried the way the other guy did it mainly because if the LED wasn't built with a diode to protect this, it would have destroyed it. Many LED lights aren't designed to have their polarity reversed like an incandescent bulb can handle. The stock front corner light operates in this way, cancelling the signal when both sides get power. The diodes mimick this effect with an LED.

If they only flash when your parking lights are on, it sounds to me like they have a diode to protect them from reverse polarity, but not the set of diodes to make them polarity insensitive. If you swap the wires I bet it would only work with the signals and parking lights off.

Where did you get your mirrors at and what year/model of truck are they off or are they just aftermarket?
