GM does odd packaging lately. I have a 22 LT including manual extending, manual fold, power adjust and heated tow mirrors but without the little spotter lights in them. Just a blank plastic block.

I found the part number 23444107 for the little flood light chingadera.

Any chance on getting the right outer cover and installing this? Shot in the dark that the wire and plug is waiting behind that blank panel but I figured I'd ask incase someone knows.

 

Thanks.

Let me know if you find anything out as I would be interested too.

When I opened up my mirrors to replace the black trim with chrome I didn't see any wiring inside for the light.

I wonder if I can get it to activate using a simple 12v wire to it and put it on my Aux switches.

 

Looks like it has a simple two prong setup for power and ground. Might have to buy one and experiment. Not a fan of looking at big plastic blocks reminding me of where stuff was supposed to be. Especially as I see lower trim WTs and Customs driving around with them on there.

Thanks for posting this. I was looking into the exact same mod. My mirrors didn't come with the lights either. I'm hoping I can find the cargo lamp output wire somewhere in the dash that I could tie into. Or perhaps tie them into the reverse lights. I don't know.

Not that this helps and I'm definitely going to show my age here, but I remember years ago, mostly 70, 80's and 90's most vehicles all came with the same high end wiring harness.  All you had to do was buy the fog lights or other add ons that would come from the factory, install them and the plug-in for them was right there zip tied to something close by.  These days the wiring harness' are vehicle specific.  Makes it a nightmare to add stuff that the higher end vehicles have.....Oh well, I'm sure they saved some money somewhere from doing that.  What it ultimately did though was make it a HUGE PITA to upgrade most anything.  Ah, the good ole days....lol....but I will say most of those cars and trucks sucked back then.  So at least we have better overall vehicles.  The smog devices back then were insane and choked the engines badly.  These days 3 to 500 horsepower is a cake walk.  Total trade off...but worth it in my opinion.

From videos of taking mirrors apart, it looks like there is a backing plate that the mirror glass attaches to, that screws to the overall mirror housing. This "plate" is what would be needed to add these lights and includes the angled pocket for them.

 

Problem is trying to source this plate. It's clearly a separate part from the mirror but digging it up through grainy part house pictures is proving difficult.

 

As far as wiring, I'm not concerned with OEM function as I would use the Boost Auto high output versions and just tie this into one of my Aux switches. Seems like a relatively straight forward mod if we could source the "plate" that holds the mirror glass and houses these lights.

 

Looks like it's going to be a PITA to find according to this thread. I saw a stamped P/N in a video removal 807303 so internally its a GM part, just not externally to the public.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
