Next Mod (side mirror)
Hey guys my next mod is the side mirror turn signals it either JDM or OEM (from the 2009 models). My question is for those that have done this mod have you had any problems with the dealership? Am asking because I have problems with my side mirrors not tilting down when in reverse, I already had the driver side replace and the passenger side has been replace twice already. I don't want to do this mod and then later the dealership tells me that the mirror wont tilt down because I added the lights, and they would denied the warranty on it. Plus the dam driver side mirror is crapping on me again...One more thing...has anyone had a problem with the side mirrors crapping out so quick?

I have the JDM LED side mirror covers installed and haven't had any issues with folding mirrors. If you do though and worried they might deny warranty, it's possible to swap back to the stock covers before bringing it in. You'd have wiring left behind, but if you did a good job hiding it in first place, it shouldn't be a problem.

i thought NextMod was making some replica side mirrors
HAHAHHA
i asked the dealer if i can get the 09 turn signal sid mirrors on the 06. and they told me its not possible kuz the wiring is different. is that true??
but l-tunedparts.com is selling jdm turn signal side mirrors for $179 with GB code. but installation might be a lot more, idk.

The stock 09's mirrors would be ideal. I'm sure it's not going to be plug and play but with a little modification it should work... question is who's going to be first?

To the OP, I suggest you sort out (read really fix the problem) your mirror issues with the dealership BEFORE you attempt to do this mod. If in case those issues come up again after you do the mod, I'm pretty sure the dealership will give you a hard on warranty claims if they find out you did this mod. That said, this mod is very nice. Mister T installed my LED mirror covers (JDM style) yesterday and it looks gorgeous.

just so the new ppl here know: you cant just swap the OEM covers from 06-08 to 09+, you need to buy the 'insides' too and thats whats gonna cost you the money.
