I'm sure there is a thread for this but I spent a half hour looking and couldn't find it. I want to add a single LED on the far out side of my mirrors that will blink with the turn signals. You see them a lot on new cars. Could it be as simple as buying a bright yellow LED and wiring it into the turn signal wiring? Any idea which LED would be great for that?

Thanks in advance

No. I'm talking about a single LED that would mount on the outside of the mirrors. You'd have to drill a hole for it.

Never seen a post about that on zggtr.org.  Doesn't mean it isn't a good idea, though.  I wish the mirrors had large turn signals in them visible from front/side/back combined with a running light for front/side... it is a great place for them.  More visible to side traffic, shows bike rider that signals are on and that they work, greatly increases visibility from front and side when not signaling.

Make sure to post about it when you do it :)
