Description:
Was realy bored and broke now that finals are over. Despite that it's <20 degrees in the garage I decided to see what I could come up with out of all the crap I have hidden around the Man Cave...

It all started off just wanting to fix the controler for the passenger side mirror.

Can't remember how much these were at the parts store but I know they were under $20. I didn't want to risk messing up an expensive set if the idea didn't work out... If I could afford it, I would replace them whith real bright ones...

Radio shack P/N 275-0020. Wired with fused 5 amp. 12V supply and feeds control voltage to relays via Cat-5 cable. I used one pair per switch because I was not sure what the individual strands would carry.

I was willing to give my idea a try because the pass side mirror was allready cracked.

Looks like I'll be searching for replacement glass now so I can get to the spring on the driverside that broke when I was putting it back on the Jeep!

Can't tell from these but they did a fair job of lighting up the turning arc when at 4X4 speeds
