Are there any oem-like turn signal mirror options?

I drive 90% highway and I'm sick of almost bumping people who don't see my turn signals and move into the same lane I am going into. Was thinking if I had turn signals on my mirrors it would help, since the blinkers are not very visible from the side....especially the front.

Are there any options that:

1.) Look completely OEM. I honestly hate 99% of the aftermarket mirrors on cars that look cheap and tacky.

2.) still fold in. I park in some tight spots and folding mirrors have probably saved me from losing a mirror a few times.

3.) look oem. Again...this is important to me. If the mirrors stick out like a sore thumb,..I don't want them.

4.) don't cost $700/pair. I have a buddy that paints and can do them for free, but don't want to get raped for mirrors.

5.) not m3 mirrors....those mirrors don't even look good on m3s


Anything?


Edit: would need ton have heated glass as well..this is important to me. Yes, I might be asking too much

What if you did the mod that turns your side markers into turnsignals also? Would that be a solution for you?

I didn't even think of that. Possible that could work. Only one way to find out I guess

I like the way these look, but they don't really solve your problem with people in the next lane as the LEDs don't wrap around the corner of the mirror. I don't think the people next to you will be able to see it.

Would be nice if we had a mirror that resembled the coupes more, but with an edge mounted LED turn signal (i just like the way the mirror case is designed for the coupe an 350Z more than our rounded sedan case lol)

I agree...but it's something. The light should still be visible from alongside the car and slightly ahead. slightly behind might be an issue...but the rear turns should cover that...should.

I'll have to look into those. I kinda actually like them a lot. I do wish they wrapped around a bit more though

the 03-04 vertical lines look kinda weird, maybe they look better installed?

You should definitely do this next time you have your wheels off. It's really easy and definitely makes your signals more visable from the sides.
