D40 Wing Mirrors

NIKREELFISH · Feb 16, 2014

Hi Guys & Girls, iv been floating around here for a few weeks now, so iv finally Joined up, i need a bit of advice on how to access the lights in the wing mirror on my D40, as i want to change them over to LED's but as iv only had the Nav for 3weeks from brand new i'm not really keen on just getting a screw driver and start prying at stuff to see if i can work it out, on my own, if any of you G&G's know could you help me out with a few pictures cheers NIKREELFISH,

I broke my drivers side mirror putting my led lights in last week.. you need to pull it out from the outer edge and pull it out without breaking it.. I did the passenger side easy after breaking the drivers one.. cost me 30bux off ebay for new mirror which is plastic. I got all my led lights from smithbro a member of this forum for 30bux and im stoked.. ill get some pictures up

I'm getting some Clearview mirrors and was looking at putting 12V downlight globes (MR16, 2.5W) in there. Maybe I should just do something like this, with a custom cover glued into place? What would I use as a reflector? Would I need one? Why not just make something out of fibreglass and coat the inside with foil? Why should I be asking questions that I'm going to answer in the exact same post?
