flashing firebird logo in side mirrors (PICS) I saw alot of people putting LED's in their side mirrors in the shape of an arrow which flash when they put on their turn signals. I likes this idea but decided 2 take it a step further...instead of a flashing arrow....a flashing firebird
ill b taking the same step as if i were going 2 make a flashing arrow...the only difference is that I made outline of what the bird will look like which I have 2 attach to the back of the mirror...the only problem im havin is the lighting in the back... because the motors in the way the only place i can put the lights would b on the bottom and sides and these light have 2 light up the whole bird... i dont know much about lighting so im hoping someone could tell me what kind of lights 2 use..also let me know what you think of this

I was thinking about putting something other than the usual arrow also. I've been throwing it around in my head for awhile and still don't know what i am going to go with. Was it hard to remove the mirror itself?, and can you post a picture of the back of the mirror itself? Good luck on your project, I will be keeping an eye out for your progress.

Interesting but i don't know how you going to do it either and get it to shine through the mirror good. I also don't know how your going to fit it all behind there too. I have done the arrows here are some pics. But another thing is on the passenger side mirror you have to stay away from the "Objects in the mirror are closer then they are appear" bc otherwise you light will bleed into it.
