Ok, I have not done a full blown install thread before, so hopefully
this will end up being helpful and informative to anyone thinking about
buying the kit.
I purchased the LED Turn Signal Kit from here: Polaris Slingshot Side View Mirror Turn Signals
Received it within a week. The kit contained three pages of
instructions. My instructions have an "11/23/15, version 1" listed on
the top left corner. Your instructions may have a different version, so
they may not be exactly like mine.
Here is what came in the kit (Note the White wire ties....should be black in my opinion):
Here are tools I used for my install:
The tools are pretty straight forward and per the instructions. The
Torx tools needed are: T30 1/4" drive socket & T25 screwdriver. I
also suggest a small straight bladed screw driver to open the electrical
connector halves noted in step 22.
Now some shots of the mirrors before I start:
I followed the instructions for the most part. I pre-read them, and I
felt that I could do the drilling and running the wires without removing
the mirrors. I do not recommend this if you are not comfortable with
using your drill or tools around the body of the SS. You could make a
mistake that damages the paint or other parts of the SS. Leaving the
mirrors on the SS worked fine for me and saved me a few steps.
The Instructions are well written, and I followed them pretty closely, starting with drilling the holes:
1/4" Hole
5/16" Hole:
Then I fished the wires through the mirror holes and mounted the LED's:
Once both sides were mounted and wires were connected behind each
mirror, I routed the other ends along the firewall, and then through the
firewall, behind the instrument cluster. I deviated from the
instructions when it came to locating the wires along the mirror
supports. They show them fastened to outside of the front of the
supports. I thought that looked rather unprofessional, I ran mine inside
and to the rear of the supports. You actually have to look pretty hard
to notice them:
