Being darker, don't they reduce the visibilty strength of your indicators?

x2. I had an original fitted at the same time as the In-Pro (for comparison reasons), and both were as bright as one another  :smiley:

That's good to know, but I think I prefer showing off the fact that my wing mirrors have indicators.

Also I'm about to further mod my mirrors (sort of).

I've done this mod twice now, and the covers are tricky to get off, but find some good instructions and be persistent. :)

CF?

I'm gonna do this when I get round to it. On one side the indicator plastic thing is cracked. Not sure how/when it happened. I reckon it was the time my door got a little scratch in it.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

You're my hero Mat  :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

On a serious note, how!? I have no troubles getting the covers off, but I do it via taking off the mirror lense and motor. Would normally take a bit longer than 2mins to do that! Do you have a special tool that can prize off the cover without taking the rest off?!

Well ok I suppose it would take me about 4 minutes per mirror! Still reckon you boys prize the cover off without taking the motor off!  :P
