I want to remove the mirrors but they have EXTRA blinking indicators on the outside tips of the mirrors. I also have conventional indicators at the front and back lamp assemblies. I want to put flat plates over the mirror's point of entry into the door. It will not have a blinker in the plate. It would look like what was done on the Prius mirror delete thread.
I'm wondering if I do this will it cause the remaining indicators to blink too fast, since I will be removing a bulb from the circuit. That's assuming that the outboard mirror indicators are on the same circuit as the conventional front and back blinkers. They may be LEDs out board too.
Once I commit to removing them its going to take some time to make a cover over the whole and I don't want to leave it exposed to rain in the mean time.
I'm brainstorming at this point with the nagging thought that this may be disturbing a module somewhere. Attempts to modify the rear hatch dome light (its easily covered by gear since its on the side panel not the dome)came with warnings of module damage.
