Sorry, I don't get it, whats the point of taking it apart? Do you need to take it apart before putting them on the 8g or something?
Also you should be like the other threads... and put a disclaimer for not being liable for damages. :wink:

It is because his motors went bad so he swapped them in so he didn't have to repaint the mirrors.

P>S> I told you it can be done roman :wink:

if you want to take them apart this is how. Otherwise don't. Angel is correct, one of my motors took a shit on me awhile back and i'm finally replacing it.

Do you by any chance have the wiring diagram because trigg forgot to send me one.

the 3 wires go to the stock wiring and the folding wire has to go to a 12v power source

Please search the forum for the wiring diagram. Cali posted it here at one point.
