Default Will the dealership install the mirrors with turn signals on an '06?

Anyone know if a dealer will install the external mirrors with turn signals on an '06? I just destroyed my passenger mirror and will probably have to get it replaced. Thanks in advance.

LOL, seriously??? Why on earth would they install those? It's not like the turn signals would function on an 06.

I think he may be asking if they would be willing to run the wires to make the turn-signaled mirrors function.

I highly doubt a dealership will install 09+ mirrors on 06-08 cars since it's not plug and play and would require running wires, splicing and stuff...

You could get the parts and ask Tim "LED guy" if he can do it for you, he is in SF Bay Area

What he said. Sewell doesn't seem to sell the old mirrors. I'll have to call my dealership to even see if the old ones are in stock.

I just don't have the time to fix the mirror myself.

I was extremely upset with myself for damaging my car and decided to take another look. It's actually not so bad, just that the plastic housing is cracked. All the pieces inside are fine.

Anyone know where I can find a junkyard with ISX50 parts in the Bay Area?

Check the classified area. I know a couple of members were selling some.

I'd get the turn signal mirrors from Nigel also. Why not get an upgrade out of your mistake. Probably around $250 for both painted.

Thanks, I was hoping for something like that, but the dealership won't install them.

I looked at Nigel's website and it'd be $250 each. And also, I would have to find time to install them. I can buy the housing (no glass) from my dealership for $207, I found. They won't sell me only the cover, sadly, since everything else in the mirror works, but at least I'll have back up pieces?

Wait a minute.. I just looked again. Does Nigel sell it as a set?

Even if the dealership offered this service, I wouldn't have them install it. Aside from their inexperience installing aftermarket parts, the amount they would charge you for the hourly labor would be insane. Use a reputable shop - if you don't know of one ask members local to you for recommendations or post a thread asking for recommendations in your regional forum. Good luck!

Thanks for the input, guys. I decided against it. I never got a PM back from Nigel and I looked at the photos. They aren't really similar to the 2009+ mirrors, so to me it looks distinctly aftermarket. I got a discount for the side mirrors without the glass, so just went with that.
