Blind Spot LED Addition

[DeV]

Anyone familiar with whats going on behind the side mirrors able to give me some input?

My truck has the blind spot detection system, but I would be interested in installing some LEDs like the ones in this video in to the pillars

Wouldn't it be possible to simply buy an LED with a power wire and splice in to whatever cable powers the blind spot light in the mirror?

The power and ground for the led in the mirror are standard spade connectors from what I recall pulling both tow mirrors and standard mirrors apart. While I think you could pretty easily tap into that, it would probably be less work to tap into the door harness wiring at the door module. The signal feeds from there anyway.

Probably a lot less risky than fiddling with the mirror removal as well. Thanks!

I believe this is discussed in the how to add blind spot thread. Let me dig it up and I'll link it below.

Starting with Post 191. The specific information to your question can be found at post #206 if taking the door module route.

Is it possible to add Blind Spot?

So should this work for 2021 Laramie with level 1 package, currently they call it level A as they have chip shortage apparently and only took $200 off package cost with out Blind Spot, level 1 is supposed to come with Blind spot, I ordered truck today but disappointed about blind spot...

Looking at the difference between the mirror glass with BSM indicator vs the glass without, I wonder if I could glue my own led to the corner of the glass and wire it up. I would have to scrape away the mirror backing to get the led visible on the mirror surface, but aside from that, does this seem possible? Swapping just the glass for both sides is now over $120, and I already have perfectly good glass, just need to add the led…
