I hate to admit it, but I had no clue there were blinker lights on the door mirrors.As Bobor says, you can’t see them from inside the car.

 

Not really surprising - they're invisible from inside the car!

 

where did you order them from?

 

Ebay UK but available on other sites

 

I follow your logic, but do you feel the same way about people (or yourself) changing wheels? You can't see them from inside the car either. (now granted, you seem them as you come and go to the car, whereas the operating blinker you never really see.) Just curious.

 

The wheels can make a difference to how the car drives, the indicators can't, however sequential and pretentious they look.

 

Fair point - I was thinking of the cosmetic swaps (same wheel specs) most people make for personal appearance preference and not a performance-related change.

 

Even if you fold the mirrors in, while driving????





J/K

 

I’m more likely to hang my head out the window by a foot or two.

 

If you actually look, you will the see the end tip of the blinker from inside the car when they are on but that's about it.

 

If you look at it that way then you can say the same for the P7 grille, you can't see it but you would put them on anyways. it's purely for cosmetic purposes and self satifaction, i like the sequential blinker, its the little things and knowing it's there make me happy 🙂
Now if someone can make the tail light turn signal dynamic and blink sequential...wishing.

 

Side-by-side comparison...

 

Thanks much for the comparison! Ordered one last week and after watching your video am happy I did.

 

Did you order from UK eBay or did you find a US seller? Thanks.

 

I ordered from below - item shipped from CA.

Ok you guys have convinced me. I'm going to do this too now.
Thanks (or maybe no thanks) to cstall for the video !!!

 

I ordered it from the above mentioned sell and was very disappointed with the blinkers. The driver side assembly was NOT glued Titans it fell apart in my hand. I was able to repair it by glueing it. The passenger side blinker did not work and I discovered that it was wired in reverse polarity. If you put the connector in reverse it will work but the tab that keeps it connected is missing.

 

I purchased mine from a different US based seller who I've previously ordered Jag parts from. I haven't had a chance to install yet but when I do (assuming everything is good) I'll link them.

 

Well I got it in my mind so I just made time to install. Works fine, can recommend. It’s actually brighter than stock.

I bought mine from SNG Barratt:

I can't comment on the replacement LEDs (other than they look cool but would technically be illegal in the UK as they have no marking), but please don't take your mirror covers off using the method shown in that YouTube video. It will be very easily to bend or break the lower hook that holds the base of the cover in securely and end up with an uneven gap/line around the top just like they show when reassembled. A tiny moulded hook on the bottom mates with a nub on the main housing and if it is worn or bent out of place it doesn't sit in securely. It will look ok, but the gap will be uneven and you will be able to see movement if you push in the bottom near the hinge location and you could actually pry it off again from bottom with minimal effort. When fitted correctly the cover should be evenly spaced and firm when pressed.

If you can squeeze it out by pressing on the top, then either it is very warm weather or that little hook is not securely clipped in.

To do it properly you should pull the top off completely evenly and raise the lower edge about where the inner end of the side marker is and not peel from the outside edge which is hard to do when you can't see the clips. That uneven gap along the edge between the black plastic and the mirror cover is a dead giveaway that someone has pried that cover off from the top at some point.

Just pop the glass out and release the three upper clips with a flat screwdriver. No risk of any damage, and you can give a quick visual inspection for corrosion at the same time.
