I don't think such a thing exists for C7?? I'd settle for indicators in the HUD as the ones on the dash are completely blocked by the top of the steering wheel.

Don't want to be "that guy" that leaves his blinker on for miles after the turn.

I wouldn't worry about being "that guy"! That guy is me.

Turn Signal on Chime
A chime sounds if the turn signal
has been on for more than 1.2 km
(0.75 mi) of driving.
If you need to leave the turn signal
on for more than 1.2 km (0.75 mi),
turn off the signal and then turn it
back on.

The cluster will tell you as well.

Corvettes exported to Europe have the mirrors with turn indicators in them.

I've seen pics of export C7's with the indicators in the mirrors, so we know they exist.

Mirrors are pretty pricey things for the C7... I think last time I looked, they were close to $900 for the pair. It would be cool to have indicators in the mirrors, but not at that price.

Another non issue as far as I am concerned. Turn signals are fine you can program them to sound a chime if left on for an extended time. Do not see a need for them to be integrated into the mirrors.

How can you tell which way you're going to turn if you can't see your turn signals? ;-)

Simple solution. Drive in New York State where signals are optional and mostly ignored.

It's hard to tell in those pictures, but the Euro turn signal mirrors are also a bit bigger. Some may actually like that, but something to know....besides the expense...

There is a vendor on this forum that sells C7 sideview mirrors with the flashing indicator on the outside of the mirror housing, and it can be a stingray logo or Z06 logo.

They are required now by state law. Though many still do not use them. It's not easy if you're on the phone, drinking coffee and doing your make up. It's just not safe to reach for the turn signal too.

On the C6 with its normal-size outside mirrors, there was a (European?) export mirror that was larger, not sure about integrated turn signals. They looked huge, like part of a Trailer Towing Package.

On the C7, where visibility takes a far back seat to "styling", I'd like something a little larger. Without having to pay about a grand.

The European ones have the integrated signals, they are also much larger than the stock ones.

Think about the height of a Focus mirror.
