you can get them for WAY cheaper than that...there are universal kits that stick onto the side view mirrors and splice into the stock turn signal wiring

I would have to agree that they are expensive but I don't like the concept of stick-ons and two wires showing at the nose of the arrow. Looks too cheap for me!

yeah, but the expensive ones are bigger stick ons too that say signal mirror on them.......

has anyone tried either signals out?

i'd be curious to see how they look installed? how visible the tape and wiring looks. unless it's a completely install, it's not worth it....IMHO!

actual armada install pics anyone?

I'm not quite following you on this. You may know something I don't. My question is how are they constructed?? the expensive ones???

the expensive ones look like they're actual replacement mirrors. but does that mean the LED's are built into the mirror or just a "sticker" applied on top of the mirror like the cheap ones?

i too am curious as to the quality of the "expensive" ones.

ALEX
05-27-2005, 11:19 PM
looks to me like they are built into the mirror from the rear like any other GM, cadillac or BMW. Not quite sure what MALIK112099 is talking about.

the more expensive ones are actual glass replacements, but i wouldnt like to have my side view mirrors say "Signal Mirror" on them

I was JUST saying to my husband that NISSAN should have made the ARMADA with the signals in the mirror (it's hot)...maybe 2006 model will have them.

Hey ALEX! I PM'ed you about you grille. What's up? Just had a question for ya.

I'm suprised they dont have them OEM as well. I'm also suprised that someone has figured out a way to convert the puddle lights to work with the blinkers....get on it someone so I can copy :D

I can get the blind sport signal mirrors. It's a circle blind spot mirror with a built in LED. They are much, much nicer. They come in either red or orange.

sounds interesting, is there a link? I couldn't find them on your site.

These are a much nicer look, and 10 times better than the ebay ones.

i don't know. i'm not speakin' for everyone here, but i take pride in my 'mada.....and i don't want to put anything too "cheesey" looking on it. as for me, the way i'd do this MOD.......is to get the actual mirror replacement with the built in blinker in the mirror itself.

Jason B
05-31-2005, 01:03 AM
I completely understand what you are saying. These are the best ones you are going to find without replacing the entire mirror assembly.

good catch, your eyes are much better than mine! lol

that would look very odd!

I can get these too, same company as the wide angle blind sport mirrors, but these say what you don't want them to say "signal mirror". You also must have factory heated mirrors for these to work. I think the Armada does?

Yo Jason,
Can you verify with the vender that these actually say that on the mirrors becuase that looks more like a catalog page than an actual photo, and that could just be a protective film that peels off because the print looks slightly different that the print at the bottom that say " Objects may appear closer ..." Just a thought.

two questions:


is there any way we can get the company to produce these without the "signal mirror" text? if so, i'm sure we could get a pretty hefty group buy going between CA and CT!
how much can you get them for as they are now?


thx again!

...Yeah because at third glance the only way that you can tell that these are signal mirrors in the pics is the label because you can't see the led pattern.
Once again just a thought. Because if my theory is correct I think me and quite a few others may be interested. So it may be worth some investigation on your part.

i just did an image and google search for signal mirrors and every single one had "signal mirror" either on top or bottom of the glass...

From what I've found out, there is nothing at the top at all, that pic above I'm pretty sure is wrong, and just a generic photo.

One has the 'object..closer..' on the passenger mirror and the driver doesnt have any big lettering.

The only thing that identifies the mirror is TINY 'Signal Mirror' centered on the bottom of the mirrors, but it's TINY like a copyright... I'm telling ouy it's tiny.

It only has the 'signal mirror' on the bottom of both (tiny lettering) and then the 'objects...closer' thing on the passenger

Again:

You see that tiny print under the 'objects on mirror are closer...' ?
That's how big it says "Signal Mirror" on the bottom of both mirrors... But there is no print at the top.

Around $240. First person that buys a set gets a special price. I don't have any other pics. Ships from main warehouse.

couldnt any of the little print be taken off anyway, without ruining the mirror. Like scratches or smears

Not interested. I rarely signal as this tells other people what I want to do so they have a chance to stop me from doing it. :machinegu

Ok, I can get a newer version, same thing, but it will only say signal mirror at the bottom of the driver side mirror, in very small text. The passenger mirror won't have any at all, except the "objects appear closer..." etc.

Email me if you want to order.

Jason,

I did not find this reading through all the posts, would the mirrors still be heated?

Also, is this a DIY project or would it be better to somehow have it professionally installed?

Yes, they are heated and only come heated for the Armada.

If you are a little handy and can follow the directions, you shouldn't have a problem.

The first person that wants to order will get a better deal.

Jason,

I'm interested if no one has ordered them, let me know what type of deal you can give me.

Also, are the LEDs bright enough to be seen? I've seen some aftermarket signal mirror on other trucks that the LEDs are very dim.
