Junkyard Rear Veiw Mirror swap.

Found this mirror at my local junkyard laying in the dirt,,same size as the stocker but with Map lights on the bottom,,so with my handy cut off wheel in hand,,choped down the ball on the mirror and installed it on the original hang down mount,,Works Good!

Re: Junkyard Rear Veiw Mirror swap.

Are you going to wire the map lights up? Fish the A pillar and connect maybe?

Nice job, way to think outside the box. I would have never come up with cutting the ball joint like that.
