F_ast, Yes I do like lights. The LED strip is mounted by the adhesive tape on the back of the LED's. The strip has it already.

Man that is pretty awesome, and frankly I am pissed at you for adding another project to my list of things to do. :-)
I do have one question - during the day, with the turn signal off, how does the reflector look since you cut out part of the white backing? I am just curious if you can see your cuts through the reflector. Is there a way that you could remove all of the white reflector backing? I guess if you did that then you would see the edges of the LED strip.
Let me know your thoughts. This is a pretty cool mod. Between this, the lights I want to add under my back bumper, and the lights I added in to my tool box, I think that will be enough lights for now. :-)

Is the turn signal wiring in the mirror already on the STX or did you need to wire it?

The clearance after the hole is cut for the LED's is perfect for the LED strip. The strip fits almost flush when inside the hole. Even if you did not use the 3M adhesive tape to stick it to the housing, the LED would not move around if you cut slit just enough for the strip to fit.
