Well I'm in the process of making some. I have the drivers side one ready for some bondo. I havent started the passenger side yet maybe ill start it tomorrow. What i did was take the mirrors for an accord because i was originally gonna take them and make them fit on my car like a few people on here already have. Then i was looking at it and i said with a little work I can use the factory mirrors. So I cut the part of the accord mirror with the light in it out then i cut a lager hole in the factory mirror and shaped it to fit the peice i cut out of the accord mirror. Now this is where im at now but monday I'm gonna go get some bondoand cover all the cracks and make it look purdy lol. Them imma take them to a body shop to paint them to match my car. So i figure in about a month I should have them all complete. Heres some pics to show you guys my progress.

Nice idea. Makes it much more trick to use the stock mirror:)How are you going to secure the light cut out in place?

This is a view from the inside with everything in. I just did this quick to put up a pic. Things will be a little bit more secure when its done, with a screw on each side. This is pretty much how it was held in when I bought the accord mirrors. I just copied them. I figured it worked why try to change it. I think imma put some silicone around the lens just to make sure no water gets in around the lights themselves.
