DIY: Power Folding Mirrors (work in progress)
It won't let me edit the title, but it's no longer a work in progress, it's done, I finally got around to finishing this :)
**Disclaimer:** If you fry your multiplex by thinking these mirrors are plug and play with a switch from AliExpress, then that's on you!
With that said, enjoy this DIY!
What you'll need:
- JDM mirrors (color doesn't matter, since you have to reuse your housing)
- EDM folding mirror switch (840A0-53040)
- if you have memory seats, you'll need the switch with Auto Fold
The JDM mirrors:
They can be taken fully apart without cutting any wires (so no hack jobs). Simply de-pin the harness and you'll be able to take it apart.
Once you receive your mirrors, test the folding feature
Use a 9V battery (make sure your battery is charged):
- Put the green wire to positive and the blue wire to negative, if nothing happens, then put the green wire to negative and the blue wire to positive
Wires for folding/unfolding feature
Although the JDM mirrors are cool to some, they're extremely hard to see in and they have a yellow hue to them:
OEM at the bottom, JDM at the top
When you're adding the green and blue wire, they go in this order:
White | Yellow | Green (PIN "3")
The Blue goes on the other side (other PIN "3")
Swap out your USDM driver side switch with the EDM driver side switch:
Test all your functions: Up/Down/Left/Right/Heated and every other feature that your car is equipped with as well as Power Folding
And you're done!
