I don’t have the cool signals in the side mirrors so I thought ‘what the hell’! Couple of LEDs from AliExpress and a little wiring. $15 out of pocket. I drive at night every work day so the more I can communicate with other drivers the better

Nice! I just might have to do that. Did you have to remove the vents or were you able to fish the wires through with them on?

Had to pry the vents off. Just go careful with plastic tools.

SOLD Ranger, Not getting another, fuel in oil.
Great location.. I wanted to add a signal to the mirror but the vent location looks better and easier. ??

Honestly, I'm surprised Henry Ford Himself didn't design the Rangers to come from the factory that way. Nice Job!

Great mod. Do you have a link to the lights?

Very Cool!
If I wasn't hell bent on heated mirrors I would go this route for a turn signal!

Heated mirrors (like the ones that came standard on my 2003 Hyundai) would make my life complete.
I had to add them to my 2006 Frontier, but it was easy and CHEAP. I just pulled the trigger on the 1st mirror $300! I was going to wait till the prices came down some more, but it was in Oxford White already. I decided it was a sign!

Aliexpress has a ton of accessories for wild track and T6, has anyone ordered fender flares, grill or hood scoops from them for our T6? Wholesale prices..

Awesome idea! I might toy around with it but put the LEDs just inside the actual vent.

I'm guessing wiring it was as simple as splicing off the turn signal wire somewhere?

Yup. Just tapped into the signal wires at each headlight. Feeding the new wire through the inner fender was the hardest part. Easy/fun project overall.
