Here's a night video of my mirror mod, crappy Sony camera doesn't take night videos worth a crap but here's an idea of what they look like!! I'm on the fence on how they look as they are now, I've got some different ideas that i will probably try soon, possibly ordering some more LED's and moving the location of the LED's that are in there now for a different angle!!!!

Thanks guys, funny how in that video the camera picked up on the electric fans way more than my exhaust!! ha hahaha The LED's look way better and brighter than the camera let is look as well as the exhaust sounds way better than the camera picked up!! Gotta love Corsa!!
I'm not hating the mod, just probably not completely content on the final results so far, gonna order some more LED's and add them to the mix in there, might get the result I wanted in the first place!! If anyone is wanting to do this to their truck and want's a good 'how to' site on doing the wiring, check this out:

The install PDF was spot on!!

Having sold my Weathertech rain guards, I replaced them today with a set of Putcos.

They look very similar although the Putco ones have a more angular curving to them, more importantly for my issue, as opposed to the WT ones the front of the front ones doesn't go all the down to the sill but stops at the top of the mirror sail ... also the front ones have an adhesive strip to compensate for that lack of leverage.

Anyhoot ...

So in your opinion, ....... Weathertech still good for the NBS vehicle, or shall I also try PUTCO?

What is the difference in cost?

Thanks.

WT is a better quality and designed product and I think you should go with it.

I would have never sold mine, but I had a very specific issue with them related to another modification with my rear view mirrors and I needed something that didn't go all the way down to the window sill.

Um... What are you doing to your Esky mirrors? :)

lol okay I'll describe it again.

The bit of the WT rain guards that went down to the window sill was creating wind turbulence at highway speeds which directed wind into the the infamous esky mirror mod gap and was making the lens of the mirror vibrate a little.

It's an incredibly specific combination of mods that was generating this effect, and it was really minor, but it was bothering me. :)

Agh I see. How aggravating that must've been. Yea the Esky mirror mod is worth the gap but man was it annoying to see that gaping hole everyday.
