    Has anyone come across a way to make the TRD side mirror lights stay on with the driving lights?

    Cheers

    How many wires go to it?

    When I put flush mounts on my bike I found something cool out. It had 3 pins but only 2 were used. 1 was ground and if you stuck the pin in one of the holes the lights would always be on and "blink off" for turn signals. The other pin socket they would always be off and "blink on" for turn signals.


    Wonder if something like that is already prewired?

    I've asked the same question when I installed 4Runner side mirror on my 08.

    Would be pretty cool to have that amber side marker effect. I saw a Tundra with the tow mirrors with the side markers that was on. It looked pretty cool.

    Rich91710 came up with this. Never had a chance to tackle it yet. But it looks pretty easy. I think I'll eventually do it. Just need some free time on hand.

    Has anyone figured out how to make the Amber side mirror turn signals always stay on and “blink off” when turn signaling or switching lanes? With how insanely expensive the works has gotten I want my truck to be extremely visible against careless people who don’t care about their vehicles like idiots.
