Most cars have turn signals on the mirrors so cars beside them can see it. Those LEDs are on the front so it would be useless for that reason.
Other than that, those looks pretty decent.

I don't know the laws in your state, but it might be illegal to have red light showing from the front of your car... you know, if you care about that sort of thing it would be a shitty thing to get a ticket over is all

actually I was just side swipped in my 1971 road runner by some old lady trying to pass on my left as I was turning left and did 2k in damage which insurance won't cover cause parts are so hard to get. As for the blue color, I just thik if I have to go rice Id rather have blue than amber in my attempt to avoid another possible disaster.
On that note anyone know where to get original fenders and not reman.?
safetly/peace of mind > your opinion

The LED's are on the front, so if you're trying to avoid a repeat of that incident you're buying the wrong product. And if safety is so important for you, why are you buying smaller mirrors that would make it even harder for you to see someone coming up beside you?
