Default I need help with the JDM power folding mirrors

Hi all enthusiasts 2GS and Aristo,

I just bought the JDM folding mirrors with switch included and because I found in the same color of my car, that was the rason that I buying more faster. They came out of a 1998 Aristo and I have a 2GS 04. The JDM has 7 wires and my 2GS has 11 wires. I try to make them work and can not make it. I can not find which wire I can use from my 2GS to the JDM power folding mirrors wires to make work the JDM mirrors. Has anyone done this and can help me by sending me an email with photos as how you combined the wires and making work this JDM power folding mirrors? HELP PLEASE.

In advance, thank you very much for any help.

If I remember correctly, the matching the wires should be straightforward with the exception of two wires. Try these match-ups:

JDM mirror wires
1.) Green wire and Blue wire - are the power folding motor wires
- will have to be wired to an on/off/on switch and two relays
- follow the wiring diagram on this link, post #38
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...install-3.html

2.) Red wire - red wire on usdm

3.) White wire - white wire on usdm

4.) Black wire - black wire on usdm

5.) Black wire w/ green stripe - either one of the black w/ green stripe on usdm (there are two)

6.) Brown wire w/ white stripe - brown w/ white stripe on usdm

OKAY, OKAY, Got it. Now, my last question, I think. LOL. So, the Green and Blue Wires is for the folding motor. You connected this 2 wires to a separate switch, right? I have the original switch but I think is better if I buy one Rocket Switch ON - OFF - ON to make the mirror folding out and folding in, Right?
I was very close to being able to sell on eBay. But, definitely with this information I'll try to put them to work this weekend. I'll let you know right away that I do work these mirrors. Bro.. you ROCK.

The switch that you have right now won't work unless you have the Aristo door ECU. It's so much easier to just use the rocker switch and two relay method.

Hi again,

Sorry that I will continue asking the same theme. But they are becoming more and more details that I see on the pictures. The FEMALE plug in the door of your car, only has 7 wires, right? The reason why I ask this is because my car brought 11 wires male plug in the mirror and is connected to a female plug with 11 wires as well. I know I have to remove those 5 wires that I not need to used on my female plug and then, connect the JDM wires mirrors to the original female connector that brings my car to make work properly JDM Mirrors. But, what I do not understand is that the pictures that I see here is, where these plugs that I see in the pictures come from? Is because your car brought this small plugs?? The only reason that I think your car brought this small plugs is because your car did not bring the memory mirrors and heat mirror like my car Right? That's why your plugs are smaller to mine plugs, right? So again, if that is the reason, I just have to connect or match the wires of my JDM mirrors to my factory original female plug wires to make my JDM mirrors work like the factory mirrors, Right? Sorry for so many questions and my ignorance about this, but what I want is be sure 100% about these connections with the wires and not damage the mechanism of the mirrors or the computer that controls the mirrors. Thank you for you time to answer all my questions.

Thanks again,
Mcon

Please just follow the wire match-up that I have provided. You're confusing yourself, the pics that you are referring to are not mine. That is of another member that has an Aristo. I have a 98 GS400 that has 11 wires. I cut the connector coming from my usdm mirrors to be used for my jdm mirrors. I hope this clarifies things up for you.

Yes,yes,yes... This clarifies up everything. I'm new to the website and still do not quite understand how these sites work.. Everything I do with the mirrors today or tomorrow I'll let you know immediately. Thank you, so much for having patience with me.
