Lighted arrows on the mirrors?

It seems now every car has them but what do you think of those little arrows people stick on their side mirrors? For 10 dollars seems like a cheap mod.

i think they are pretty cool... i hardly see them on cars, usually trucks and suvs, but it would be nice to have if your blinker goes out

That is why I like the singles at work, the arrows are small enough where they could fit and not stand out.

yeah i know, but it doesnt work right... its annoying... and i would assume nobody would know youre turning when its just staying lit... so it would be nice to have a blinker on the mirror

undecided. I thought about it for a while, but then decided against it. I'd have to see it to say yes or no.

I think it would come off as being too ricey. Kinda like the lambo doors. Neat idea, but would look weird after a while. Like it doesn't belong there or something.

I think it's a pretty neat idea, it draws more attention, especially on the trucks and SUVs, I don't think every car should have it because I don't really think every car would look good with it. For example: If you were to put those on a Honda CRX because it would draw more attention or because "it adds more horsepower" then just trust me, your gay a$$ exhaust draws enough attention as it is, so why bother?
But that's just my oppinion.

For those of you who haven't seen them, here are two different kinds that are on the market right now as far as I know.

2Poor4Z is an unknown quantity at this point
i used to install both types.. the stick on and the oem type at the shop i worked at..

VERDICT
1. Stick on looks like **** anddoesnt even work half the time.. it pretrudes from the mirror and looks stupid

2. the oem aftermarket style are awesome.. but def not worth the price.. last set i put on was on a new silverado truck and the mirrors with the built in signals cost the guy close to $300
