Thinking of getting a pair of these myself unless there is some other option that adds the power fold yet?

Did you ever add in the amber leds to the non mirror side yet and/or know of any that would fit easily/properly? The nicer one you linked earlier looks like its for under the mirror?
There aren't any power folding yet that I'm aware of. I haven't added the leds to the backside yet. Hasn't been high on the priority list as of late.

Fair enough. Chances are if I added the leds to the backside they would end up hyperflashing I assume?

What would make you assume that? Because you're doubling up on the same circuit? Hyper flashing is usually an indication of using LEDs where incandescents were used originally. Using LEDs shouldn't cause a problem, but I've been known to be wrong before...

Maybe I'm just over thinking it! Not sure why but I did not think the signal lamps in the mirror were LED? Sounds like all I'll need to do if adding the additional signal is tap right into same source as whats going to the signal in the mirror already. Adding in dynamic signals would likely be a bit more complicated?

Yes, with LEDs being low wattage, you should be able to just tap in to what's already there for wiring in the mirrors.

I got a pair of these for sale for $200. I can’t post in the for sale section since I don’t have 50 posts. I guess just don’t have that much to say. I’m in Radcliff, KY if interested.

Do the front facing caps just pop off? I've pried on them a bit, but it just wanted to marr the plastic and felt like it was going to break something. Maybe I'm just being too cautious? I'd really like to add some sort of front facing indicator and/or parking lamp for better visibility.

I have a set of them from AM auto parts and love them! They are on my 2003. I wouldn't ever tow again without them.
