I haven't replaced a g mirror, but I've done a ton of them. You will probably need to take off the door panel and there will probably be three bolts holding the mirror on. The wires should be plug and play. if you bought a used mirror and there is no plug on it, that means they cut the mirror off.

Yeah, that's the other half of the plug. The male or female end of the connection is part of the car's wire harness. When you unbolt the mirror on the car, you will have to unclip the same "box" off and plug the new mirror in. There is a diy for removing the door panel in the diy section. There is actually a g35 diy video journal on line for doing various jobs. The link to it is on his board. Search for it. If I can find it I will post it for you.

do not cut any wires. the white box you are talking about clips into a harness.

the thing is that little white box with the wires in it wont pass through the new bracket thats why im stuck , i asked a infiniti mechanic if theses wires come out he said yes but i cant remove them . do you know how to remove the wires from the white box so i could pass the wires through and then re insert them in the box . if this wont work then all i got is cutting the wire and reconnect them and electric tape them

im not sure but maybe you got wrong one.

heated and power mirror might be different from the non-heated one.

there both non heated i just need to find a way to disconnect the little wires from the wire harness , i think all just bring it to infinti or some garage and tell them to disconnect them , pass it through the bracket , reconnect it and then put on the mirror
