    Signal Mirrors

    I like to be safe when driving, and driving professionally has made me even more aware of the problems we encounter on our roads. We have all seen these flashing chevron turn signals in the outside mirrors that newer vehicles have. There is a company that offers a replacement mirror. (It would be a special order of course for the VX) So I contacted them to see how much? $269.00, to much for me. I mentioned that I belonged to a International group (as in us) and they do offer a group discount. Anyone interested? Maybe if 10 of us were to commit, would see how much then.

    Seems like a fairly simple process to do if you have a few tools and don't might tearing into it

    here is their web site to check it out. http://www.muthco.com/?utm_source=si...utm_campaign=w

    what about looking for ones designed for a rodeo or trooper? im sure someone makes something aftermarket for those for cheaper.

    IF it is the same mirror and I don't know if it is the same shape/size, am sure there might be. This company might have it too. This price quote was for a special order Vehicross.

    It drives me "crazy" when people don't use their turn signals.

    Just to prove your "international group" claim, I would be in for a pair of mirrors.

    Not even worried about the heat feature - only gets cold enough to use it a couple of days a year.

    Keep us posted, and thanks.

    Yeah, what he said - and no "cheating!" Too many people don't start signaling until after the steering wheel is being turned. The point is to let others know that you're going to turn, not that you are turning.

    Damn, forgot you poor cousins don't have that feature.

    Cancel my order unless they also fold.
    Always use that when I park in a carpark.

    it seems to me these things do the reverse

    I do not have scientific proof but it seems to me the more bells whistles lights etc we add the more we tend to ignore them. Remember the 70s and car alarms came out? They would alert everybody your car was being stolen. Now we here an alarm and evrybody is like I so hope tha car is being stolen. I do not see as adding more flashers would help as if you do not see the tail lights or the spoiler lights who is going to see little lights on the side mirrors. And to lose the functionality that is effective is a lose lose to me

    mmm... see thats why you have to get creative...
    the general car alarm tone... yes, thats just irritating.. but when it sounds like a semi is driving down your street, everyone looks

    and i also disagree about adding more light... i know that if something really bright for example was shining my way before someone changed lanes, i would definately see what that person was doing and why there was a bright light shining my way.

    Still just trying to find a passenger mirror that I snapped off at the hinge....Rowhard says that no other model of Isuzu fits the VX mirrors. Anyone know of the best supplier of used parts that might have a mirror? Maybe St.Charles? I was going to get the one off eBay a few weeks ago, but had to change my Paypal after our bank account was hacked so that was a miss.

    ? I said that - not

    I did say, 'IF it is the same mirror and I don't know if it is the same shape/size'
