Mirror turn signal white LED replacement
I've been looking around for a white LED replacement for the turn signals in the side view mirrors. I searched the forums and found nothing, no one even talking about it, and nothing on Google either. I like the cleaner look of a white signal and really want to switch. Has anyone found a replacement part or DIY solution? Thanks.

I've used white front turn signals and white side markers for over a decade and never once been pulled over.
As for annoying to other drivers, only if it were overly bright. Whether it's amber or white, it's a flashing light. So no one has done this huh? |

Clear incandescent bulbs are so low in lumen output that they aren't distracting. Plus they are "yellow" in comparison to LEDs anyway.
Clear LEDs for the mirrors would be distracting IMO. I like getting rid of ambers... only when it's the plastic/bulb glass color. I still want them to blink amber so LEDs as is are perfect. That's what I replaced the turn signals with in my DD - LEDs that are clear when off, but blink amber. For those in the EU or RoW, do your mirrors blink amber or white? If it's the latter, OP, then you have your solution.
