How to add turn signals to kenworth T660 mirror buckets

Adding turn signals to the T600/T660 mirror brackets is very simple

[@marklester161]

Thanks for the video. Great job. Really helped me to complete mine.

[@cdward4893]

Thank you let me know if there are other projects you want to try and tackle I’m trying to see if there’s any other videos that I should make that help. People customize their own new truck instead of having to go to a higher price shop to do it most things are pretty simple.

Thanks for showing this. Very helpful

You’re welcome I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

Nice. Just got into a t660. Definitely doing this. Thanks for the advice

[@Truckin_Life1]

@@rubengonzalez3773 make sure you run a good ground back into the cab. the mirrors don’t hold a good ground for a 10 meter radio

Dude hell yeah a million thanks!

You are welcome

Just a heads up great video it really simplified install on my 2014 t800 with the same style mirror's but for some reason my lh, rh turn signal wire did not work, ended up running a jumper for both sides to the fender mounted turn signal lights for my new mirror lights to work as turn signals. Just test before you connect unlike I did lol

[@cdward4893]

Glad it was helpful. I’m going to have to look into my t660 now and figure out where those wires go. like at one point a new turnsignal switch was installed and not everything got hooked up. thank you for the feed back

[@calsmith7902]

I'm curious 🤔... where did you find (buy) those lights to go on your mirrors?

[@Truckin_Life1]

they are at 4 states or iowa80 united pacific makes them

Very helpful video! Do you know where you bought it from? Can you provide a link? Thanks!

How do you Run the Worrs through the Mirror Bracket??

[@Truckin_Life1]

start by pulling back the rubber arm cover at the cab. you should see cb coax and the power wires for mirror heat and moto mirrors. two ways to do it is feed wire from cab to mirror bucket in upper arm. Or you can feed it up into the mirror arm where CB coax comes out one end into the mirror bucket and the other end towards the cab. I did it from cab into mirror bucket.. I tried to go from mirror bucket to cab. but there is a divider where the upper and lower arm meet sending the wire intk the wrong arm

[@Johnny-ny6ro]

Did you splice the wires in or used bullet plugs?

[@Truckin_Life1]

I used heat shrink butt connectors and put heat shrink tubing over all three wires after they were connected and testsed

[@glennwo7702]

I have a 2016 T680 do you know anything about them. It appears to be different??

[@Truckin_Life1]

You will have to unbolt the mounting bracket off the side of truck. you will see the wires going up the bottom arm for mirror heat and adjustment. you will run the turn signal wires with them to be easiest

[@Truckin_Life1]

I’ve been trying to get a friend of mine with a 680 to let me add turn signals so I can make that video

[@glennwo7702]

I to the instrument cluster out and it looks difficult to get back in behind it.

[@Truckin_Life1]

@@glennwo7702 it is a little difficult as the plastic front is snap in trim. the guage package is bolt. depending on if it’s digital or not speedo you need to take off the right of steering wheel trim off before you can get the speedo trim off and moving to the left. be careful pulling it out as the snap plugs are kind of brittle after a little age

[@glennwo7702]

Ok great ! I'll work on it when it's a little bit warmer in a few days !!

[@robertfrank676]

How do you run the wires through your Mirror Bracket out to the Mirrors??

[@Mountiancat359]

from the rubber covers at end of mirror arms up through the upper arm. wires should follow along the CB coax and mirror heat wires up to the mirror bracket

[@robertfrank676]

@@Mountiancat359 I have a Kenworth T 680 will it work the same you think?

[@Truckin_Life1]

@@robertfrank676 to be fair I am unfamiliar with the mirror arms on a T680, and how they are mounted to the cab. after doing some research it looks like you will have to unmount mirror bracket on cab and take off back of mirror bucket. wires are run down bottom arm and out the bottom of the mirror bracket into the cab. inside the cab the wires should already be there. although with the newer trucks test the wires for actual power as they may need turned on by kenworth in computer

[@jeanvenero6749]

How do you wire them to be lit with running lights ?

[@cdward4893]

should be a wire for park lamps/clearance lamps and another wire for turnsigals. if it s a standard 3 wire setup White-ground Black- park Red-turn

Very helpful video, thanks!

thank you please share with anybody else that may be looking to do the same

Sweet thank you doing this now

You’re welcome if you know of anybody else looking to do the same, please send them this video. Thank you.

[@justinstephens72]

Where did u get the lights

[@cdward4893]

Got them from a local chrome shop A&L Chrome I’ve seen the same ones at big rig supply and 4 states. there are links down the comments

[@justinstephens72]

@cdward4893 do u have other vids that show customize how to. Inhabe a 2008 t660 and looking to do some lights on top and on the side. But the wiring I know nothing about. I might have to run new wiring on the passenger side as the last driver cut it at the rear marker light. Idiot.

[@cdward4893]

@@justinstephens72 I can. show me the project you are working on and I will help the best I can. the ones on top of cab or top of sleeper

[@justinstephens72]

@cdward4893 both. I want to put lights on the side of the truck also. I am just curious where the wires are being ran too for the ones on top of the sleeper.
