W124 outside mirror housings: question

I am certain most of us are familiar with eXtreme E500's W210 mirror update on his W124.

All I want/need is the turn-signal flashers + wiring from the W210 outer mirror-cups; may I buy them at my dealership's parts counter?

Personally, I don't want rounded mirror-cups on my 500E; I merely want to update my current mirrors with turn-signals.

Does somebody already make/offer what I am talking about?

RSVP / Thank you,

Doing wonders ...

Scott:

If you are going to buy OE, try Mitch Pearson, Parts Mngr at Hoehn MBZ - Carlsbad (760-438-4454). He's been doing wonders for us guys down here.

I dont think there is room behind the mirror glass to have a turn signal, I had mine apart reciently and thats how I feel about it.

Maybe you could buy a 4 LED strip and mount it, but theres no room for a bulb and holder, etc.

Good luck man.

I am inclined to think tiny LEDs might be made to work... more of a benefit at night than during daylight hours, I suppose.

Do you suppose a glass shop could trim down to MB shape the Ford outside mirror glass that has the built in arrow LEDS? Maybe the Ford mirrors could be gutted and the works stuffed into the 124 mirror housing.

Excellent thought... but that would only account for a rear-view benefit.

Perhaps our ideas might prove to be complimentary.
