Signal Mirror Technology
features that command attention. When a turn signal is activated, a flashing chevron appears in the
corresponding side mirror to alert drivers in the "blind spots" around and behind your vehicle.
The mirrors operate as regular rearview mirrors whether the turn signals are activated or not.

Improved Reaction
Time |
 Drivers in the colored "blind spots" are alerted of the intentions of a vehicle equipped with SignalŪ Mirrors. |
 SignalŪ Mirrors illuminate faster than conventional tail lamps. |
| Every year there are over 375,000 lane-change and merging traffic accidents. Over 700 of these accidents result in fatalities. SignalŪ Mirrors are positioned at the eye level of adjacent drivers making them more noticeable than conventional tail lights. With the increased popularity of taller vehicles, i.e. SUV's, trucks and mini-vans, a turn signal from the tail lamp may be "hidden" by these larger vehicles. The signal from the side mirror may be the only visible indicator to drivers two or three cars back. | SignalŪ Mirrors use LED lamps which illuminate 1/5 of a second faster than conventional incandescent tail lights. This provides drivers in the "blind spot" of the SignalŪ Mirror equipped vehicle an additional 17 feet of reaction distance when traveling at 65 m.p.h. Thus, unlike other accessories that soften an accident, SignalŪ Mirrors actually may help prevent one. | |||

SignalŪ Mirrors use high-intensity LED lamps to turn ordinary exterior rearview mirrors into safety features that command attention. When a turn signal is activated, a flashing chevron appears in the corresponding side mirror to alert drivers in the "blind spot" of your intentions. When emergency hazard flashers are used, both mirrors flash warning signals. The mirrors function as conventional rearview mirrors whether the signals or hazards are activated or not. |
While surrounding drivers see a bright, attention-getting display, the driver of the vehicle equipped with SignalŪ Mirrors sees only a subtle tell-tale display - a reminder the mirror is activated. |

FAQ
I'm a Jack (or Jill)-of-all trades, can I install the Signal Mirrors myself?
We recommend professional installation at either your local dealer or an automotive audio products or detailing accessories installer. Signal Mirror installation requires experience with electrical wiring.
How long does an installation take?
Installation time varies for each vehicle model. The average length of an installation is about 60 minutes.
Do I have to replace the mirror housing when installing Signal Mirrors?
The installation procedure varies for each kit. The entire mirror housing is replaced only on the Chevrolet/GMC CK platform vehicles. On all other vehicles only the glass sub assembly of the mirror is replaced into the factory mirror housing.
Are Signal Mirrors heated?
Heated Signal Mirrors are available with some retrofit kits. Please check the retrofit kit listing for specific vehicles and model years.
Will the Signal Mirror distract my attention from the road?
No, not for either the driver or passengers of the vehicle equipped with Signal Mirrors. Only a subtle "tell-tale" display is visible to inform them the Signal Mirror is activated.
