I found a company that makes a bypass that only makes the Task Lights work while driving when you turn your brights on.

Boost automotive has a product that does have the mirror lights on with high beam but does not have a way to shut off and on.  also some do not like the T-tap connection and would rather use a diode method of this mod.

Right. That is what I plan to do. 1N4004 diodes. I download the wiring schematics from uplifter, just have to take the time to figure it out. Boost automotive has some YouTube videos that will help to.

I plan on making it so the fog lights and the mirror lights turn on with the brights. Just have not had time to look at what connections will need a 1-way resistor 

Any luck with that? I was going to just make my own harness, because $70 seemed like a lot for something that I had to Ttap into my $50k truck....

Does anybody know the part number for the light in the mirror I was driving down the highway and a rock hit the light and chipped the housing and it just looks bad with a big hole in the middle of the light and water is getting inside?? Part number??

Is there a work around to get the mirror lights to be turned on while the truck is in gear? 

Boostauto makes a harness for it. You can run them when you put the high beams on.

A lot late to the party, but 3 posts up, the one and done is asking for a part number???

There is a QR code right on it in plain site, how do you afford a new truck when you can not even figure that out🤔

Yes! This kit makes it so when you use you high beams both mirror lights come on also. https://boostautoparts.com/products/high-spot?utm_source=GM+2019%2B+High+Beam+to+Spot&utm_medium=Description&utm_campaign=YouTube

You end up finding your way around this? I see Boost’s product but can’t imagine $50 in actual parts. Looks like 2 connections between brown and grey BCM and a fused link and a relay are what they used.

I have a ‘21 rst and I have task lighting. But I do not have the mirrors. If I get a set of mirrors, will they work as they should since I have the rest of the task lights, or will other things need to be done as well. Thanks in advance

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
