How to add a more visible flashing alarm LED
This is a fairly simple mod and very cheap for the cost of one Red LED, just a couple of wires to connect which can either be spliced and soldered or you could use scotch locks
Credit goes to Steve (Devilish) for the idea Short Video of the LED below https://youtu.be/lVZrmRfmdg4 Disclaimer: You are responsible for any work or modifications carried out on your car and you undertake any such work at your own risk.

A great how to. Nice tidy job!
I was planning something similar when I do my change of headlights. I was going to place a single Led into each headlight, that would flash when the alarm was "armed".

Would it be possible to do this mod using a BMW interior mirror with the red led on the base?

Providing it comes apart to give you access behind the glass as you will need to drill a small hole for the LED and one for the wire

Why not just use the LED already on the BMW mirror and add 2 wires to the connector?

I'm not familiar with the BMW mirror but sounds like there might already be an LED on it you can use
