Volvo S40 mirror lens retrofit

Nice write up Adam.

Seems easy and fun with the DIY, I'm sure many will follow this guide.
 
Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Still plenty of work to do. I had one little slip with the dremel, but not a big deal since I was planning on vinyl wrapping anyway. Waiting on a couple parts to ship as I'm going to try to use the stock connector on the signal with a waterproof connection. We'll see how that goes.
 
You're definitely done with the tough part of cutting and all. Plus having your housing already prewired will cut down the DIY time too.
And since you're wrapping like I did, you can fill in any imperfections with 3M body filler and close the gaps.
 
I actually attached the bottom part to the housing and top to the cover. I had to do it this way since my cover was already compromised from Audi LEDs. Justin's way is what I'd do.
 
Yep, I figured that attaching to the cover was going to be way easier in terms of alignment.
