Question those jdm powered side mirrors...

does anyone here have those jdm mirrors? im guessing nobody cuz it's quite hard to figure out
the wiring in order to make it work. if someone here knows how to hook them up, pls provide any
infos. im thinking of getting them but still skeptical if i can hook it up wiih all the wiring involved.

difference is that the jdm ones fold by themselves when you press a button or something

the video wasnt too useful. It was too dark to see anything more than a slight reflection. sounds cool though.

I have 3 sets..one of them was for sale but the buyer(s) never went through with it...

Involves wiring up another button inside which will fold your mirrors inward like the new LS430's...

This has been a long process for me which will hopefully be done sometime in the near future. And you know, of course pix and vids will follow

Erm, well I dunno about trying to hook it up, as I've got a Soarer (so it came with it... along with heated/shaker glass). Erm, I'll try to take my assembly off and show you (the lengths that I go to! lol)

I'll get some pics up in a sec of the parts, I'll keep you updated!

Jose, are there conditions to having these? anything you dont like about them?
Do they flip inward when you're in park?

I believe they only fold in when you press the button right?

can you snap a shot of the "shaking" feature?

I'm sure you can wire it up to close automatically when the key is taken out of the ignition though...i'll keep you guys updated

also, does it always snap out like that when it's almost fully open? sounds like it's going to break....if that's the case, I'm not sure if I want to have it close automatically when I remove my keys...
