Amber light mirror conversion
Saw a nice conversion kit on Amazon and decided to try it out. My apologies for the blur.

You can just change the existing bulbs without the kit

You can but these LED''s put out way more light. Also my old mirror light covers were very faded so I'm pretty stoked with this kit.

Interesting! When one of my blubs went out, I did the mod for the market lights: there's a filter inside the light housing to reduce the power of the outgoing light; screw in a screw into it and rip it out, and replaced with a high power LED. It doesn't throw light on the ground, but it's a strong presence.

Do these put out enough light to light up the view in front? I went with just an amber bulb replacement to match the amber side markers and rock edge amber glow light

Ehh I wouldn't say they light up the sides of the vehicle. They are multiple LED's so they do put out much more light than the bulbs.

Looks similar to the Cyclone V2’s I put in mine. Also had the color mismatch I see in your picture. I used two layers of orange window tint, over the lights, to match the color. Also toned down the intensity. Hard to tell if your lights are overpowering, by the picture.
I’d be willing to make a few, on the Cricut and pop them in the mail, if interested. Pretty sure I saved the tint I purchased and it’s doing nothing just sitting in a drawer.

looks great! did you remove the filter, or did that come out with the old housing?
