Side marker mirrors?
Does anyone have the "side-marker" mirrors that APC sells? I think they look pretty cool, but was wondering how it works. Is all the wiring included? How about the mechanical part (powerered mirrors) wiring? Was it hard to install? What's the price and part number if I want it for my P5? Thanks

I'm selling my Carbon Fiber version of those turn signal LED mirrors..
They come with 2 little electrical boxes which power up the amber LED part of the mirrors.. there's 3 wires to run from each box, 12v constant on (which would wire up to something which is on only when your lights are on at night), 12v flash (to be wired somehow to your flashers), and ground (find a nice area thats metal)..
They are only made in manual form, there is no power version of the APC turn signal mirrors..
Installation consists of taking off your door panel (seriously it'll be easier this way), then removing the black plastic panel on the inside of the car (might have tweeters if you have the refresh or 2003).. and there's 3 nuts which you undo and your stock mirrors are OFF.. you probably have to disconnect your wiring harness going to the power mirrors at some point in the process, but I didn't have the power stuff to worry about
It is by no means hard to install however I never got around to hiding the boxes which power the mirrors so they were on my dash all the time
let me know if you'd want em.
