light's on side mirror?
ok i don't know if this was posted before but, this is the first time i saw this. i don't know if its just j-spec rx8's or is it all universal thing. i even looked under the mirror and it did have the hole where you install them is this available or not ?
i included a PIC for all to look at.
Sorry if it was in the wrong form or if it was a repost.

It is a repost but never mind.
My J-spec 8 came with these 'puddle' lights. I believe the Euro and Aussie models also have it.

The theory is that when you are approaching the vehicle and press unlock on your key fob, these 'puddle' lights turn on and illuminate the ground immediately below the door.
This is to ensure you don't step into a puddle before entering your car.
Must be a Japanese courtesy thing?

My Explorer has them, and in a dark parking lot they light up the whole side of the car when you unlock with the remote... I certainly would have liked to have them in the 8.

I don't think those puddle lights look useful, but I would like to see a turn indicator on the mirror.
