Hi guys,

Check out this link; https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...n-signals.html

It is the same as I did with the folding motors but sakataj member put pictures on it.
1. On Step # 14, you need to cut your wires close to the blue tape is show on the picture.
2. On Step # 17(B), Is more clear the picture where you need to cut the cables or wires.
3. On Step # 18(A), This is the way that you can put out the mirror.
4. On Step # 18(B), More Example and read what he writes.
5. On Step # 18(C), More Example
6. On Step # 18 (D), More Example
7. On Step # 19, You not need to do that, but if you want it you can do it.
8. On Step # 20, 20(A), In this photo sakataj show you or give you instruction as you have to remove the 4 screws to separate the frame of the mirror.
. On Step # 21, How to move the plastic clips to complete separate frame.
9. On Step #21(A), More Example and read what he writes.
10. On Step #21(B), More Example
11. On Step #22(A), In this photo you can seen as the wires are routed inside the base of the spring that is the same size of the folding motor and you have to get that base out with 3 Screws at the back and pull it out and put the folding motor there with the 3 screws back.
12. On Step #23, Just look more pictures
13. Put it all cables back and connect the cables where you cut it because there are don't bother to put the door interior panel back and connect the blue and green wires of the JDM Mirror to your new DTDP Switch or Rocker Switch and to enjoy you NEW Folding Mirrors.
There are two kind of mirrors. One FULL COVER FRAME and The Other have a line that separate the FRAME. The line one is what you need it to do this change on your mirrors. Look at your mirror and if you have the line to separate the frame, that is the mirror that you have to get, so you don't have to miss or missing nothing of the functions of your mirror. I hope I've explained myself properly this time.
Good luck CL Guys with this DIY.

So the memory function for your mirror works now, right? Did swapping the mirror angle motor fix the angle problem of the jdm mirrors?

Yes, the memory in my mirrors working perfectly. I use my original mirrors and I never lose anything. The heated mirrors, memory, movement, diam. I just get the black base (Spring Black base) by where the wires are routed to the plug. The black spring base where they run the cables is the same size to the folding motor. Cut all wires, pull all the cables from the mirror and base, draws the black spring base and puts the folding mirror. The black spring base like the folding motor have 3 screws behind, take out and put back. It is only removed the 3 screws and put back with the folding motor. Also, put all the wires back and reinstall your mirrors back and enjoy yur folding mirrors. Remember, the JDM mirrors has to have the full line on the cover and that way you can separe the cover and pull out the folding mirror, if the cover or frame of the JDM is a full covere you can't be included as the GS300 frame the folding mirror. Found the JDM as the same of your. The frame has to have a line to separe the frame and pull out the folding mirror. Any other question let me know.
