bankrpt -- Thanks for the pic. That is one pic I forgot to take. For all the others looking at this post, you can see in the pic where the strip is marked to show you where you can cut it to make it any lenght you want. The beauty of these strips is no matter how long or short they still use 12v with nothing else needed like resistors. Just wire it up and go.

Thats yet another mod. It never ends.

Could one of you guys post the part number? I stopped at Autozone tonight and none of the guys had a clue what I was looking for.

Oh yeah one question is there any way of just taking the reflectors out without taking the mirrors completely apart?

It can be done but I wouldn't recommend it. Check this out.

If you see in the pic he shows prying the side next to the door. I would work on the curved outside. That clip is the one made to pry off. The other is the long tab used for a guide.
