I took a punt and bought some dynamic wing mirror indicators from Aliexpress !
SHORT VERSION
They look cool and seem to be good quality and easy to install!
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Kib...222.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.54fe4c4dRkt2Jc
They were £48.43 for the pair plus £10.30 for shipping and took 3 Days to arrive from China and were well packaged and came with a free spludger !
I chose they kind of randomly but they seem to be the ones which are made up of lots of LEDs so the pattern is much smoother.
They are good quality and fit (except one of the connectors seems to be broken but I think this is a mould issue as most of the other versions on Aliexpress have the same fault and it does not effect the seating of the connector) , they seem to be moulded from an original part, but in a dark smoke instead of clear plastic.
This hides the fact that they are a strip of LEDs instead of one LED and a light pipe like the original part, this does lead to my one criticism of the part, that you can't see when you have left your indictor on in the wing mirror anymore .
Instalation
Tools
Small flat Blade screwdriver
T10 screwdriver
plastic spludger or trim removing tool
1. Pry off the wing mirror glass using a plastic tool. Insert it behind the glass on the outside edge. You will have to use some force and there are snapping noises but nothing should break =)
2. Remove the connectors for heated glass and auto dimming if fitted from the glass.
3. Remove wing mirror cap. There are 2 tabs which need to be un clipped use the small flat blade screwdriver. Then the cover can be pulled off. You may need to pry it off from the top seam using a trim removal tool.
4. If fitted remove connector for side assist from the mirror cap.
5. Remove the connector from the indicator. At this point i suggest you test both indicators before going any further .
6. The indicator is held in place by 2x T10 screw and plastic tabs. Remove the 2 screws (they are the same size). Then using the small flat head unclip the indicator .
7. Install the dynamic indicator it should just clip into place and test !
8. Put it all back together in reverse. (I found the mirror cap tricky to reinstall but this may be due to the fact that I got pattern caps when I had side assist retrofitted). Repeat in mirror for the other side =)
Thoughts
They seem bright and smooth.
I think they look cool and were easy to fit with no permanent modifications to the car.
My car has the full LED package including Matrix LED so I have both Dynamic front and rear indicators, because of this I do not think the dynamic wing mirrors look out of place.
