Default Crazy idea in my head....MIRRORS!!

Wasn't quite sure where to put this.... If not the right place mods please move

Hopefully someone can use this idea, I am sure that someone has made these before if so please chime in with suggestions!!

About to start a build on my 83 Cutlass Cruiser Wagon but first I had an idea in my head that I had been wanting to try I scrounged up some pennies and bought the supplies needed to make my turn signal mirrors like on the newer cars..... all in all it took about an hour to put what I had in my head to the mirror!

They are brighter than I expected actually, I still have to mount them permanently but you get the idea. I also only used 3 led's I am going to remake the lens to hold 4.

Actual build will be started within this thread as well I have quite a few more ideas that will be posted as well!

Frank what do you mean inside the mirror meaning the actual mirror glass behind it?
