I have posted my instructions with pictures at <a href=http://home1.gte.net/res0bsc9/g35/signalmirrors.html>http://home1.gte.net/res0bsc9/g35/signalmirrors.html</a>

If you try this project, these will be a big help to go with the Japanese instructions.

markrief > Excellent instructions and great pictures to describe the installation for the sig mirrors. Great work man, I just wanted to share this with everyone of every detail you have to go through just to get these bad boys on. Good work and nice job!! Much appreciated man!!


It's still a G thang!!

 

so the signal mirror just goes on top of the original mirror?

 

That's correct..with a lil bit of drilling of course [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Woh...very nice..I think I will have to do it..looks sharp...

 

Thanks Mark for taking time to post instructions/pictures in such detail and thank you Rumble for repost it so I actually saw it today.

Is anyone concerned about this possibly voiding the warranty? I only raise this question because when I contacted my dealer about installing the trunk opener and additonal power outlet myself (using the kit from infinithelp.com), they told me it would void the warranty.

 

I believe they told me..that wa ever its worked on will void the warranty...

So if you work on the side mirrors..the side mirrors are not under warranty anymore..stuff like tat

 

Very nice! Thanks markrief.. nothing better than a set of instructions with pics

..pestilence..

 

Those sig mirrors look just ferfect! Looks even better than the one on any Mercedes Benz. I am dying to get a pair for my Coupe but don't know where? any info is appricated!

 

To the best of my konwlage the coupe signal mirrors arent out yet.. Hopefully they will be... but I have heard nothing..

..pestilence..

 

You folks are all very welcome - I appreciate the comments. It's good to know ohters will not have to repeat the trial and error I did. It took me a day and half, but I could do it again in 3 hours. Good luck to those of you doing the install!

Yeah, thanks Mark. The weather hasn't been good here in Toronto till now, I am gonna try to install it next weekend with a friend following your instructions if I can't find anyone here to do the job for me before then. So please keep the link to your instructions alive for a while. Thanks!!!

Well, I finally did it!! I actually anticipated the job to last a good part of the day, but with Mark's detailed instruction, a friend and I got it done in less then 4.5 hours. So thanks again Mark for saving people like me a tons of trouble and time.

There isn't much to add to Mark's instructions, except for fellow Canadian or people who ordered G that has heated mirror, please be VERY careful not to break the mirror glass as I have learnt the hard way: I broke the driver side mirror glass after succefully did the passenger side one, 'cause I was just stupid, thinking the second one is easier and didn't heat the frame long enough. I believe Mark doesn't have the heated mirror, as I don't see 2 lose wires dangling inside the frame after he removed the mirror glass in his pictures. That's probably the reason why his replacement costs only US$19, and mine is gonna be arround CAN$80.25

One other minor detail is that I found that it was BIAATCH to reach that half of the SMJ connector on the passenger side body from under the dash. There was just not enough room with this one white square blocking the way and it took us about 15 mins just to pull it out, insert wires and put it back in. We were so frustrated that we even considered removing the glove box just to clear the way. The Driver side was actually a lot easier even with all the pedals. Again, I don't know if Mark's car has that same white square blocking the way like mine does at the passenger side.

All in all, I love the final result and enjoyed the experience, even though I made a mistake that will cost me almost CAN$100....
