Default Side View Mirrors 04 Rx 330

I Recently Purchased The Chrome Covers For The Side View Mirrors On My 04 Rx330. They Have Signal Lights On Them And Must Me Hooked Up To The Turn Signal Wiring. Can Anyone Help Me With The Color Code For The Turn Signal Lines Running To The Rear Of The Car? Thank You, Siximps

Can you not get the directions from where you bought the covers?

Hong Kong Item, Though Very Nice. Unfortunately They Only Sell The Product And Know Nothing About It. I Was Hoping Someone On This Site Would Have The Tech Manuel And Look Up The Colors For Me. If Not Successful I Will Have To Get To The Rear Of The Turn Signal Wiring Behind The Bulb And Follow It Down To The Front Door Race-way. Thanks For You Interest

You need a wiring diagram. Go get a Haynes Manual for Highlander, it will have the wiring diagram, it is identical to the RX.

i have color coded turn signal mirror covers in my garage that i haven't installed since receiving them almost a year ago. i have the instructions in japanese which i cannot translate, so i was thinking i might have to shell out money to have it done.

i got mine from carson toyota so it's genuine OEM parts - if you want i can send you the instructions in japanese, and hopefully you can figure it out and give me a step by step!!

I am also planning to buy these, how is the quality of the product & the adhesive? They cost $39 + shipping ,Right

I spoke to a mechanic at Meineke and they have the wiring diagram for Lexus on their internal website? Try it there and they will also install it for less comapred to say getting them installed at dealer.

Post the pics with before/after the installation of mirror covers

Question for others: Has the mirror design changed between RX330 & RX350

I Certainly Will Post Pictures After I Install Them. Believe It Or Not When I Opened The Box With The Covers I Discovered They Were White In Color. Unfortunatly I Have A Black Rx. So I Sent Them Out To Be Painted. I Don't Contemplate Too Much Problem With The Install. I Think The Hardest Part Will Be Snaking The Wires Through The Mirror Housing. There Should Already Be A Raceway For The Heated Mirrors And The Tilt Control Motor Wiring. If Anyone Has Been In That Area I Would Appreciate Any Help You Could Give. Thanks In Advance, Bob

Hi Robert,
You might want to remove your personal information & address. The best way is to send a private message to LexusLover.

Thanks

How much did you get them for? Are they for RX330? They are JDM's?

Default Solution For Side View Mirror Turn Signals

Hey, Whoever Is Interested, This Is The Reply I Got From The Hong Kong Distributer. Three Wires Are Labeled As Follows: (3 Wires)
Center Wire Is Ground And Either Outside Wire Will Power Lights.
Reson For Two Is That You Can Hook One Of Them To The Turn Signal And The Other To The Lexus Floor Plate Light. The Floor Plate Circuit Will Turn On The Light As A Courtesy Any Time You Open The Door....
As Far As The Color Code For The Turn Signal Harness Wire I Am Still Trying To Find That Info. If All Else Fails I Will Check The Back Turn Signal Bulb Socket And Look For That Color Wire In The Raceway Harness. A Safety Pin Connected To A Tester Light Works Great And Will Not Damage The Wireing. Hope That Answers Any Inquires Posted....bob
