It's called Acrylite bronze 1/8" pick the sheet size you want. Long as you don't get the special order stuff it arrives pretty quick.

I'm not sure it's an exact match but it's pretty cheap for no more than you'll need. Worst case buy some yellow and tint it.

Yeah I ordered them figured for $12 I'd take a look at them and see if they'd work. Think the signal wire could be tapped into inside the mirror. Would have to run another wire from harness to mirror for the clearance feature.
Really not looking forward to taking the door panel off again.

i know what u mean about the door panels. and i got the wiring all figured out. my truck originally came with power folding, so im gonna tap into pin 16 at the mirror harness and find it under the driver dool seal and tap that to pin number 5 of the headlight switch. that will match the parking lights and it will blink with the parking lights when locking and such. and it is already split to both mirrors under the seal!!!

as for turn, like u said, just tap into the signal on the back.

use a ground in the mirror and be all set.

are you going to put these on the TT mirrors? if so, have you decided where yet? i got some ideas in mind, but will have to see when i get them.

thanks again!!!

Not sure where I'll mount them yet, probably close to the outer side of the mirror but will decide whenever they get here.

I think I'm going to get them. How do you think they'll look on regular '05 mirrors?

i bet they will look too big on the regualr mirrors. JMHO! do like me and wait for him to get them and post pics to see if you like them. but then again, it might look good on them. i cant remember how tall the regualr mirros are. the lights are 4in tall. i think the skull caps might interfere with them on the regualr mirrors unless you plan on attaching the lights to part of the cap....
