Why would you want to do that?

[Crosswind]

Those are not Wanker mirrors. Those are just LED strips attached to them. Ask forum member Sylvi WIjesinghe. He will help you to set up one of those contraptions.

And this could be a possible reaction when you drive....

:D Yeah buddy I know that..the reason that I want for is ..I'm driving really traffic road with full of three-wheel idiots that bloody ppl come like rasing..and atrying to slip on the body all the time so there's a heavy possibility for one get knock in my mirror so atleast if I could show there's a mirror in side..that make my mirroe safe ..thats Y...

You mean to say you want both "winkers" to light up constantly, in bright yellow, when driving around? Man, that`ll be like wearing a couple of earrings with LED`s and walking around.

[MrCat]

Oh ok, fair enough.

If it`s a must, why not hook up a small LED strip to the parking circuit? you wont be messing around with factory wiring then, can always remove the thing if required.

I think he means mirrors with little led's that come under the mirror housing. I've seen them on some hiaces.

Macho you're not gonna stop tuk tuks even if you put burning spikes on your mirrors. They live in their own world where no part is more than 500 rupees.

A tuk knocked my friends x type, scraped the rear bumper and had the gall to say "aiyyo give this to my garage guy. Will cost you 500/- max". We kept him around til insurance came, assessed and gave a quote of 14,000.

He was in denial still.

:D Yeah buddy I know that..the reason that I want for is ..I'm driving really traffic road with full of three-wheel idiots that bloody ppl come like rasing..and atrying to slip on the body all the time so there's a heavy possibility for one get knock in my mirror so atleast if I could show there's a mirror in side..that make my mirroe safe ..thats Y...

It's not the mirrors buddy, it's the attitude of drivers on the road. Drive a big car and no one would dare to get too close. Drive a Vitz or a March or a Viva (as lot of ladies drive these), you become the three wheeler drivers' lil' b*tch.

Yeah.. that's true..I pray for god for give some little bit of wisdom to those bloody idiots..I can't believe why these idiots so selfish..they drive so close to those vehicles and go left side without even thinking of there's a vehicle in right...

True but a Vitz will be easier to maneuver around traffic isn't it?

puddle lights are nothing new - some premium cars have had these for decades but I'd say the logo projectors look cool. Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea though

[Schiffer]

i see, now i get the use of the puddle light but still that logo projector is not my cup of tea

That itself IS the problem buddy. If everyone started driving in their own lanes and stop manouvering thru traffic, the congestion on the Sri Lankan roads will be much lower.

This plus not keeping a huge distance with the vehicle in front.

What do you mean? Is keeping a huge distance a problem or is NOT keeping it a problem? [totally OT!]

You should keep a distance to be able to react to a sudden deceleration of the vehicle in front.

But in the traffic you see many drivers who keep about 50 feet of open space with the next vehicle, that is NOT good.

What I added to CW's post was to keep the minimum viable distance with the other vehicle to help the cause.
