Rear view Map light mirror thoughts?

[ButtJuice]

To all the members that have one installed, do you like it? Not too big or bulky? Useful? ect..

I just traded a 14'' basket weave cap for one of them. Just wanted to read some thoughts.



I'll search, but anyone want to post some pictures?

useful for maps, hence maplight. packing bowls. finding da hole. etc.

I want one pretty bad. Seems to me you got it cheap?

The light output is crappy , I'm about to put LED's In my maplight see how it looks.

Anyone try this ?

[mikeedler]

useful for packing bowls.

yep, they are great, sure did use it for that back in the days.

Thought about it, everything else in my car is LED

Lol


Yes, I traded some dude on craig's list for a basket weave cap. I hope he pulls through.. If not, I have his address and phone number.

But anywho, I'll see about how difficult putting LEDs in will be and report back here.

Might take a while, electrical isn't my forte.

Overrated IMO. If you don't have one, I wouldn't bother with one. Not worth the effort of running the wires up, etc. I'm planning on replacing mine with a Gentex mirror like this:



You'll see it's been done a few times on here if you search.

My thoughts are that people ask too much for these mirrors...

For sure. My car has one but I don't see what all the fuss is about.

OP: you got lucky with the one weave cap. I traded an extra map light mirror for a set of nice US grilles, plastic bumper cover, and right side pop out window.

I put one in my car, never really use it. I could take it or leave it but I know the standard mirror is less bulky and lighter.

I want one because I frequently drop stuff and a light in the front would be helpful especially if it's at night.

..exactly what I need one for!

Too bad I don't feel like paying $50. You'd think a car as awesome as the E30 would have come stock with a dome light in the front.

I use mine a lot, but my car came with it. I definitely wouldn't go through the hassle retrofitting one in a car that didn't.
