I want to know that how the side indicators are attached to the mirror?
Also what is the benefit of this kind of design?

    Yes I'm asking about the cars.

    So far i haven't come across any such car in India with such a mirror design as you say.

    But anyways if you want to know the advantage, then one is that, since the indicator is now located on the mirror, then it needn't be present on the car body and this allows for an easier aerodynamic design of the car body.

    By the way in which car have you seen such a thing ? name it.

    Its just common sense, nothing technical or aerodynamic or big big words. May be this image will trigger your imagination.

    Is this what you are asking #-Link-Snipped-# ?

    Yes #-Link-Snipped-# I was asking about it only. Thanx for the image.

    #-Link-Snipped-# I haven't seen this in any car but my UG teacher (who is a design engr too) told us that they have got the project to design it for some car.

    I have seen this in may cars in hyderabad, why this is designed?

    This is designed for following purposes:

    1. Look and Style.
    2. It helps others to identify boundaries of the cars at nights.
    3. Visibility of the blinking light is more.

    How this is designed,
    Well this can be done in many ways, the easiest way is there will be 2 indicators on the car , one on the OVRM and other on the body so take a wire and put the light in the indicator in series work done!!

    My car has this and it does help with the visibility (especially since its higher up).
