Your SPDT relays will stay the same. In fact everything will stay the same, the only thing that changes is your FOLD OUT Timer Relay will now have a different trigger.

You'll need to find either a negative or positive trigger that's active only when key is turned 'on', and goes away when you turn it off.

Thanks dude!

I need to replace my Driver side mirror it was faulty from delivery, it's bothering me!!! Doesn't fold in 100%

 

^Ship back to JDM-Land for replacement? Come on, 98.4 percent is good enough lol

 

Hmmm you dun know me well then.

Seriously though it is noticable, it sucks.

And actually they sent me a new one after 2 emails, great seller. I already have the replacement just haven't had time to pop it in.

 

Updated post #6 for wiring in the JDM switch.

 

holy shiit... that fvcking sick!

i just bought the jdm folding mirrors and jdm bezel for the switch inserts. i will be hitting you up for some help soon!!

how long did this take? how hard was it? how much would this cost if i took it to a shop to rewire?

how much did you spend on hardware for install?

if i did the automatic fold how hard would this be to make manual? just in case something malfunctions with the mirror motor...

would i be able to use the manual open and fold function if it was wired to auto?

 

Thanks dude! I've had these on for almost 6 months now without a single issue, they work great!

No problem man, use one of the threads linked in the OP or post here, not biggie either way I don't think.

The actual wiring, etc I didn't find too hard, an hour maybe, counting time to get stuff together disassemble, wire, test, reassemble.
The time on this job was figuring the whole wiring diagram/function out, terminal designations, relay to use that would function as needed, and so on. It is something kind of un-precidented, I had to figure it out from scratch. But you don't have to do any of that

The second part I could NOT tell you dude. I'd find a reputable auto-electrician for this job. I'd suspect you'll be charged 2 hours, random guess. Supply them with this "DIY", allow them to look it over and see what they think about doing the job.

The mirrors cannot be operated manually unless you force them, which isn't great for the motors. If you're stuck cause one fails and you have no choice, you can simply fold it out by hand and repair it later.

Yes, see post #6 for how to integrate the JDM switch into this circuit with Diodes.

 

thank you!!!

 

ok.. so i have my power fold mirrors.... heres what it came with....



is this necessary JDM pieces i need besides the miscellaneous parts on your list?

can you explain how i take the mirror off?


i cant pull the mirror off to get to the screws to take the mirror motor off. ive read that JDM_CAINE used the USDM/OEM shell, base and mirrors....

so do i just toss the jdm mirror shells since all i need are the motor and guts?

do you see how the mirrors are already folded in?..

the reason why I'm asking is that i cant pull the mirror motor off bc i cant remove the mirror and the mirror shell kind of blocks the mirror motor since its folded in if you understand what i mean.

sorry if this isnt making any sense.

 

There is another thread where we talk about the install and what needs to be installed

You need to power up the mirror and the mirror switch to get them open

I don't see the jdm wire harnesses in your picture

 

You need the harness and that bezel doesnt work, us the oem one and cut out the switch hole. Plus you have have to flip the switch ****.

Trust me its alot of work.

 

Congrats on the pickup dude!! Sorry for the late response, I've been away from a computer and only saw this on mobile.

Here's the 3 threads that contain a bunch of info you will want to know.

There's a lot there, but all the answers are in those threads.
You will need to remove the mirrors, you can't just bolt the JDM ones up, you have to do some swapping.

To remove them you will need a soft spatula, heat gun/hair dryer, and patience. EDIT, THANKS TO NEO FOR POINTING IT OUT. YOU DON'T ACTUALLY NEED TO DISASSEMBLE IT, YOU ONLY HAVE TO SWAP THE RIGHT SIDE JDM BASE FOR THE RIGHT SIDE USDM BASE TO GET THE MIRROR ANGLE CORRECT ON THE RIGHT SIDE..
THE ONLY TIME YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE MIRROR AND SWAP EVERYTHING IS IF YOU WANT TO SWAP FOR HEATED MIRRORS.

This. The harness is different and without it, it's going to be a PITA to wire this up.


The JDM one doesn't fit? That sucks! Why not?

 

The bezel will mount to your car like oem, but the bottom half is shape different than the US version. The bottom piece where the steering wheel height lever is doesnt mate with the JDM Bezel, Also the ignition ring is a little different. I believe the JDM cars dont have an ignition light ring. Mine came with a solid ring that was seperate and it wouldnt fit with the ring there.






Both sides are different. I already tried when I had mine.

 

YOu can bolt the jdm mirrors up. Only thing is the base angle is different. Hence we have the jdm base on our driverside, with the bad angle.

 

Thanks for the info!! That sucks

Truth. You don't actually have to swap the motors either.
You only REALLY have to swap the passenger mirror base to the USDM one, the rest is just plug and play, as long as you don't want defrost swapped over.

And the passenger side could be simply installed but the angle will be off.

It's funny that I never thought of that after we found out about the bases being the difference, that means the motors can be left alone completely and you DONT HAVE TO REMOVE THE GLASS unless you want to swap for heated mirrors.

 

^is the wiring still the same with the heated mirrors?
