I received my M3's Mirrors in the mail yesterday, but just my luck the blue LED's don't light up, but the amber ones do. Did anybody else have an issue like this. I'm trying to get a hold of the people I bought them from but they haven't emailed me back yet.

How did you wire them up?

Well, Before i installed them I just connected each color seperatley in with the blinkers to make sure everything was working, and only the amber ones did.

It is possible that the blue LED is broken, or maybe It got lit once, and blew out.
Do they have any resistors wired on?

You may have to take it apart, if that's possible, and replace the led's.

It sounds like you want blue instead of the amber. I don't know if they use bi-color leds, or multiple leds of different colors.

That's what happened to me, the LED was brocken. I got new one's, have to mess with them this weekend, I'll post my new mis-fortune then.

It has amber LEDs and Blue LEDs. The guy from the website told me sometimes they won't light and need to be "Charged". He said to take a 36volt battery (yeah friggin right) and connect it for 15 seconds. So i'm just going to take it to my garage and connect them to the jumper and if it doesn't work I'm sending them back for some new ones.....lol....who the hell has a 36 volt battery, let alone 3 car battery's to connect in series.

^^That just sounds plain weird, well this is my second try, if taking the LED out doesn't work and these new one's don't work, I plain quit, putting my stockies back on. I'm not working this hard for looks..forget that.

Why do people get the dual LED ones? wouldnt it be easier to get the M3 Nockoff mirrors with just a simple Amber LED in them? who uses Blue anyways? only Riceboyz.

 

[CKA]

Then I'm a RiceBoy, actually RiceGirl then, I use blue because I ******g like blue, it's not your car so don't worry about it...............

Last time I checked a blue LED in a mirror wasn't the only qualification for rice. Besides, who made you the rice police.
