So I ended up ordering the wrong relay, silly me. BUT I did get these wired up as far as possible, and working, just waiting on the PROPER relays so I can hook up the key fab actuated feature.

Here's a couple snaps of the puddle lights though, they're wired with the dome light so they trigger on with "unlock", and time off. Or shut off when you press lock/put key in ign.

You should start doing custom work for people tunermax. Your work I've seen is incredible. Plus you would make a killing...do you think if i ever bought some power folding mirrors, could you hook them up for me? Haha

Thanks for the kind words jimmy. I actually was doing custom LED stuff for a while, but it turned out to be more of a headache than it was worth.

Most guys who mod their cars want quick, cheap stuff, and nothing I normally do falls into either category. This results in 90% of the guys who call wasting my time. Which is understandable to an extent but not something I have the time for, especially for a side business.

So now I just do stuff for me

Maybe for me you can hook it up haha. My problem was if i bought the power folding mirrors, I wouldnt know how to switch the motors from them to our oem mirrors. And most likely wouldn't be able to find anyone in my area whose tech savy as you or others on the forums.

I'd be willing to do it. Again, cost is the big deterrent, I'm in Canada which makes it even more expensive due to shipping. It'd be simple if I didn't need your USDM mirrors too.

But you'd have to send me either your USDM mirrors, or buy a set and send them to me and then the colour may not match.
Then buy the JDM ones and have them shipped to me. I'd put it all together and send you the finished folding mirror assembly, but you'd STILL have to wire it all in.

With Folding mirrors approx $300-350 shipped, and approx $60-100 in round trip shipping for the USDM and finished product, plus $275 in labour, is it worth it?
That's ROUGHLY $700+, and you still need to install and wire. that part will be not too bad once I post my DIY for this though

Actually I was hoping for more of a 5000k, these are the ONLY LED's I've ever seen that PERFECTLY mimic incandecents. It's actually a shame in this application.
If I were to do it again, I'd use something else.

Yeah pretty much all luxo car's over there come with the option of power folding.
It's a law that they have to fold the mirrors in on both sides when parking on the street, etc, which is a contributing factor to the availability of this option over there opposed to here.
