Got this idea from easyryder01s post. The mirror mounted Turn Lights are so small and dim on my 07 Monaco Knight. Impossible to signal anyone driving alongside of the coach of your desire to change lanes. I mounted 12” long Red Side Emitting LED Strips to each mirror and connected then to the 2 small lights already there. The strips are mounted to the inside of the mirror housing with the LEDs facing back. Now I can easily make my turn intentions be known by anyone traveling along side the coach. Impossible not to be seen. Much brighter in daylight than the picture shows and very bright at night. I purchased the LED strips from Oznium.com.
A pic of a mirror can be seen below in Logthumper’s pics in “Making it Ours”

Red or Amber? In most cases red is used for the rear and amber for the front. This is standard government policies.

Looking at your pictures the amber lights you added are a great idea. You should add many of your mods to the Quick Tips and Easy Mods (Monaco Style) section.
