trimming around the LED light for a better fit ??
see on my newly arrived LED mirror covers that the narrowest part of the LED could be trimmed for a better fitting...anyone done this??...seems that the way is to shorten the part where the mounting screw goes in ??..Ideas ??

One side note when installing your covers. Leave the wire harness and led plugs inside the mirror housing. I'm not too sure the life of the bulbs, and it'll be a lot easier taking off just the door mirror instead of the whole door panel in case they need to be replaced. The wires are a little long, but you can zip tie them together so there not in the way of the mirror motor. (Hope this makes sense, lol)
My driver side I put the plug part in the door, and praying that one doesn't go out.

Suggestion > there are positive (+) turn signal wires under the driver's side door sill plate that you can tap into for both turn signals. Use a wire toner / tracer to identify the correct wire. Example: Flip on left turn signal and place wire toner on each wire until you touch the one that makes beep, beep, sound as the turn signal light flashes. Then splice into that wire with positive wire from driver's side (left) LED turn signal mirror. It's much easier than running through firewall, etc.

Pretty sure the park light wires are also in the bundle of wires under the door sill plate. Same method: turn on park lights and use toner to find wire conducting current.

To Roadfrog, Dirteeboy, Avrid, or any others that have installed these mirror covers, did you ever figure out how to get the DRL to work properly? Or do you prefer the lights working with the turn signals only and won't be doing the DRL connection?
Thanks
