ok ive ben looking over the site and have yet to find too much about power folding mirrors. ive figured out most of the wiring but im kinda stuck on the switch. I have the jdm switch but not sure about the color codes on the overseas harness. Does anyone have access to this info? I know that i need to change the glass, and i will do so when they get reasembled after being paint. I know its kinda a usless mod, but i have them and i might as well use them. Any help would be greatly appericated.


Thanks :lol:

Yup- got them and have them in.

If you have the JDM switch, then you only have to add two wires to each side and wire them in.

I suggest you get a section of the loom from a Junkyard car so you can plug in the wires and splice into the ends. ( this is both for the mirror ends and the switch ends)

I can show you where to add the wires to the switch ends if you need me to.

You can make any mirror heated.

Just add the heating element to the back and wire it into the harness. One for ground, one for power on ( from the switch)
But JDM cars were never heated AND folding for the BC/BF ( as the switch does not have the heating part in the switch. NOW- the BD has both, and you can see that because the mirror switch has individual switches for folding and heat.
