He has them on his car and I believe it was he who posted that to which you refer. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingram4868 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 There is also another brand that has an amber or red arrow in the mirror itself. But it did not have the forward facing blinker lights. The one at BOI looks nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I wanted visibility for the traffic coming towards me. The SGT sits 1 1/2 inches lower, and the OEM turn signal is down on the ground at close range. I want other drivers to know what my intentions are, and the BOI kit also blinks to the side, so those next to me also know my intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you remove the old mirrors and splicing the wiring,etc. How long did it take for both mirrors? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old guy Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 The mirrors from BOI are a bear to install because there is no place to tap into on the driver side, but worth it, in my opinion. They can be wired to come on just with the turn signal or to come on with both the brake lights and the turn signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69dejavue Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 LuLu, is your turn signal mirror from Blue Oval or CDC and is there any difference? Also I noticed you have the LED 3rd brake light. Is that a clear or smoked lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a clear or smoked lens? Blue Oval Industries (BOI) is a parts reseller, they are not manfacturers. The mirrors are made by CDC. My third brake light is a clear lense with red LEDs.

69dejavue Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 LuLu, what kind of problems did you have with the mirror installation. How long, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbydream1 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 If someone is trying to decide on them I can vouch for LuLu's selections saying they look VERY good. I was in front of him in our caravan back from Shelbyfest and they are highly visible and just look really cool. I had asked him about install and he made it sound fairly simple and straightforward.

LuLu Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 LuLu, can you give instructions on the removal of the old mirrors and the installation of the new mirrors, including electirical connections? Thank you I did this last year, and I don't remember all the steps I took, because I installed the interior RV mirror at the same time. I also had a Ford wrench helping me with the electrical, and I could follow his directions, but I don't remember much today. My Big Red Books are bound, but someone here (I think) has a DVD based set that prints .pdf images. Maybe someone can help out? The instructions on R&R of the mirrors is in section 501-09-18/19 and 20 of the Big Red Book 1. You will have to remove the sail panels on the inside of the mirror, and then 3 nuts to remove the mirror from the door. The driver's side also contains the remote control switch, and that unplugs from the harness. You will have to create and install a wiring harness. The mirrors come with 6-7 inch pigtails for ground and power. I used red wire for the left signal, and blue wire for the right. R&R of the door panels for access to the OEM wire harness is explained in section 501-05-7 of book 1. For electrical connections, I recall running lines to the Bussed Electrical Center (BEC) and tapping into existing wires there, rather than at the signal lamps themselves (option). Circuit A-1 is left front signal lamp, and B-6 is the right front. This is covered in section 13-14 of the wiring diagram book. Evaluating complexity is contigent on your personal skill and patience. I'm rather particular about running wires through a car, so, I am prolly my own worst enemy. If you feel this is a challenge, I suggest a trim shop, alarm/audio installer, or the dealership. It's not difficult for those who do it everyday. I know this isn't much help, but it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
