That'd be one serious wiring job. The one's on your dad's are on a timer so they stay on for a few seconds after you opened the door. I really don't even know where you would start. Maybe mirror's from a 98 X would fit yours and you could get some that had that "puddle lamp" feature. If you got all the wiring...shoot I really don't know where to start. That's a hard job.

Kris Guilbeaux did the conversion on his Navajo. Hopefully he'll speak up.

Question Side markers ?!.

What about side marker light ? They cost $20 avg. Wire them to the dome light , or to stay on constant wire to the head lights ( I think that would look funny ). I bet you could do the whole project in less than 1.5 hrs. Also they make super white bulbs for em ' . Goodluck.
