FJ cruiser side mirrors
#21
Good point, thought their site was the only one that offered them. Makes you wonder how hard it would be to fiberglass over a pair of those 80 dollar ebay covers and make a set for less than 200, lights included.

Maybe your best bet is to pick up a set of the chromed slip covers for the mirrors, they are mostly made of ABS. This way you could sand them, modify em for your lighting needs, then glass em in and paint over them to finish things off. I'm not sure I see the need for a light in that area, but then again, there really isn't a need for the louvered hood insert on an H3 other than for looks either.
If you get something worked up, post a picture. I'm not a fan of the FJ's looks. But it holds its own offroad I guess. I would like to see what you come up with. If your thinking fiberglass is to much work, dont forget your going to have to drill and pull the mirrors and door panels just to hide the wiring. The door wiring boot is a plug and socket unit, so you will have to drill holes and add grommets there as well. Unless you tap power off something in the door or mirror area in the door panel itself. But I would be carefull there.
