Mirror Work Lamps

[eppieguy]

I'm wondering since I will never use the lights on the front of my mirrors if there is a way to get them to come on with the parking lights and then I can change the bulbs to Amber and use them like the towing mirror parking lamps? Seems like it shouldn't be that hard but I'm no electrical genius for sure!

Following.... I'd just like to know how to get them to come on with the puddle lights....

This thread has an interesting idea.

Following....great idea. Also, I wish there was something that would come on the dash to show if they were on. Ive hit that button by mistake instead of the fog lights. And no idea if I turn them off without getting out of the truck.

To turn them off keep hitting the button, or just drive, once you start driving they shut off automatically.

Thanks! I didn’t know if you drove they turned off. I know if you keep hitting them they turn off. Just would be nice if they had something inside to say/show they were on.

Yeah, thats how I wound up with them. I originally thought they were mirror mounted turn signals.

 

My only wish is that you could stop the folding mirror part way to have them point where you want.

I wish there was an indicator light too. I also think the button placement is odd and should’ve been swapped with the fog light button.

Yeah it's a bit misleading...I get em confused

My previous truck had the fog lights on the main light switch, where the mirror task lights are now.
I think of the task lights as being similar to the bed lights & should be placed next to each other.
