Wait...you have the permanently on when the headlights are on? What made you want to do this? That just looks plain weird. I bet you would get a lot of funny looks driivng down the road at night if that was the case. It reminds be on those beater cars you see that are all riced out with like 3 sets of foglights in them. Looks like the Starship Enterprise is coming up behind you. If I were you i'd just make them turn signals only as they were meant to be. That would be badass but definitely not the way you have them now.

The mirror cover and lights do looks good but the light always being on is what looks just plain weird. Have you ever seen any car on the road with bright, (almost headlights) coming from their mirrors? There's a reason it hasn't been done. It's a matter style and taste. I'm just trying to sve you from the weird looks you may be getting at night.

I agree that it would probably look better only as a turn signal, but if the OP wants it always on, it's his car

Props to you for being different but it reminds me of an FJ in the rear view mirror with their little lights like that.
