I've been seeing pictures of these around for a while on the forum and no one makes them so I took a stab at it. I decided fit 24 red 20000mcd LEDs inside each mirror. They aren't typical red LEDs either(8000mcd), they're 1.5x brighter as well. These are the same LEDs I used to make my 122 LED UFO tail lights. All went well with popping the mirrors out, but putting them back in is a PITA. I drew/traced the emblems in CAD and printed them mirrored and to the exact size I wanted. Then traced it the emblems out with an exacto knife on some vinyl sticker I had laying around. I put it on the back of the mirrors and only left just the Kanji exposed. Then broke out the the $15 sandblasting gun I bought and sandblasted the back. Peeled the stick off and popped them back in the housings. Wired up the bike so that the wire comes right up the middle of the mount and drilled a few holes (none of which can be seen) so no wires are showing.
Total LED Count...so far
122 red 20000mcd LEDs - UFO Undertail Taillights
168 orange 8000mcd LEDs - Rear Tail Signals
40 switchback LEDs - Front Parking/Turn Signals
7 blue LEDs - Raptor Shift Light
48 red 20000mcd LEDs - Kanji Mirrors
TOTAL: 385
