Sequential Mirror LED's

Hey everyone. I am just wondering if someone knows of a company that might make a kit to turn your LED's on your mirrors into a sequential turning light.

I know they make them for taillights on Mustangs and stuff but wasn't sure if it's just a module or is there more to it than that.

Hey.

Here ya go:

You'll need to replace/separate the stock Leds - they are potted and wired together.

Morceau de gâteau, eh?

I could easily be wrong, but I think both of those circuits would probably need modification. The first on seems to sequentially light the bar, but then once lit, it stops flashing and just stays on steady. Now, the flasher will cycle on-off, which would restart the process, but the timing may be a problem.

The second circuit seems to be an "up-down" type of device, which would cause the lights to illuminate back and forth as long as the flasher relay was on. Again, timing would be an issue. You'd want the relay to open as soon as the "up" portion of the cycle completed.

However, it's certainly something that CAN be done, if you have a bit of a background in microprocessor design. I think I'd get the flasher relay out of the mirror light circuit for starters. Design an "on/off" gate into the circuit that would remove power once the bar was fully lit.

- Jack

Looks all chinese to me. I was hoping there would be a plug in kit or something.

Oh well, I will live with it the way it is.

I know what you are looking for... I can make one, but would love to buy one. Hmm sounds like an opportunity.
