86/BRZ LED mirror 2 in 1

Came across these LED mirror DRL and indicators and decided to give a try to match the Valenti tails due to the tube design.
http://www.alibaba.com/product-tp/13...or_mirror.html
Installation was a little challenging, but end result I like the look it gives the 86.
I also ordered the tap flash relay off the forum, which prevents any hyper flashing and gives 4 various indicator flash modes.

Excuse the quality.

These are replacement covers on the existing mirrors, which come in CF or painted direct from Japan.

I still need to wire this functionality up, ran out of time. Must locate which harness has the dome light wire to connect into.

yea, was not easy to install when i tried it, had to get the japanese manual translated too..
not to mention the US BRZ is missing the "option connector" which its where the puddle light signal should be wired to.

but the finished product looks very OEM, most people doesnt even noticed the difference.

I managed to get the instructions in PDF format and copied the Japanese text into google translate to ENGRISH which helped a little.
