Tinted mirror LED signal mod with RAV4 heated blindspot mirror

I do not have the BSM Blind Spot Monitor. That is why I changed to a blind spot mirror (the small convex mirror in the top left corner). Did not want to use a stick on convex mirror. The heated RAV4 mirror had the convex mirror built in.
Note if you have BSM in your Taco then the rav4 mirrors with BSM will not work with your BSM.

Awesome. I have the stick on blind spot mirrors but wish I had the installed like that.
Did the wiring connectors match up without modification?
 
I can say after just a few hours the wide angle blind spot it great. Can easily see an extra lane and a half next to me. May end up swapping the passenger as well since the stock is so limited on wide angle.
 
Exact fit replacement. Side note I ordered the passenger side rav4 mirror 87931-42d50

Not my truck but this is what you see with the cap off. The 2 philips screws are exposed that hold the signal in place. The 2 wires closest to the door glass are the heater. The heat coil wires work even is wires are switched. No polarity issue. Once screws are removed the plastic pulls out enough to wiggle out the stock signal. Have to remove two wires from the slot where they are tucked in and then unplug the signal light connector. Very simple 5 minute swap. Maybe 7 minutes if you install the rav4 mirror.

Where do i order Custom LEDs
 
They are very stealth. They blend in well with the lower black portion of the mirror housings. You wouldn't know they were signals.

Some have asked if the rav4 blind spot sticks out higher than the regular mirror. It is actually inset and is lower than the regular mirror. Laid a flat edge across big mirror to show that the blind spot mirror does not stick out.
