hey 6gc'rz
well i've just ordered some jdm power folding mirrors. only thing is i dont know if i should go ahead with the purchase i want them to work without too much fuss? the questions are:

1. are they plug and play?
2. how hard is it to take out the housing of the original mirrors?
3. do i need additional wires or connections to make them work.
4. where abouts is the relay box screwed/placed on?

i've posted 2 pics at the bottom that may be able to help.
if anyone can take pics of the stuff it will help me greatly especially with the mounting of the relay box. i might even be able to make a how-to-article for this.. thanks ohh yeah i've search the website and turboinduction did have a thread don't know what happened to it though just kindah ended up abruptly. -R

i had mine done about a month ago... my mechanic helped me with it...

i bought mine on ebay.. the relay was the wrong one so i ended up not using the control unit that came with it...

i ended up wiring it so the mirrors fold in when the car is off and when i open the doors and they fold out when i turn on the car... added an extra switch to disable it for the winter times when freezing rain might screw it up

i think it took close to 15hours to complete the task... a lot of time was also just figuring things out... for a long time i also thought i killed my mirrors... then they magically worked again...

well the pictures the seller has sent me looks like its a complete package although making them work is a different story. thats what i want to do with them at the end.. make them fold in or out depending on the ignition. -R
