side mirrors

[nyjets985]

has any body seen or heard of side mirrors with built in blinkers that fit the 8g galant correctly with no or little modifications cosmetically... forgive me for mentioniong this car but i heard a certain civic mirror may fit on with little modification ... can any body clarify for me ????

94-97 Honda Accord

[nyjets985]

they shuld fit with little or no mods.

[nyjets985]

by looking at the picture i would still need a piece to fit to the actual car cause it dont look like it will match up correctly!! but maybe im mistaken ? ? ?

[IceDouTGaLanT]

with little mods it will fit. The accord had 3 mounting holes which screw in just like the stock galant mirrors. Now out of the 3 holes, two holes match perfect for the accord with the galant holes. Their is one hole which you need to drill in your galant body so the screw fits, and thats it. Well you still got to run wires to the parking lead so they blink with your turn signals. I did mine under 1 hour from install to wiring them up.

That's very interesting, did you manage to get the rest of the power options wired up as well? Like the folding and movement?

[IceDouTGaLanT]

m3 mirrors dont fold, but yes i dud get the glass to move i just taped the wires the m3 mirrors came with, with that harness which is on the door panel leading to the oem switch. Took me few mintues to figure out the combo but i got the glass to move like oem. but my jdm mirrors fold in n move the glass also but i had to rewire the jdm control.

[Reelax]

here's mine...

they are for an accord but i forgot what model/year. they are power fold, power mirror, and came w/ blue LED's wich i converted to amber LED 194 w/ new sockets. i got these because the signal is visible from behind as well as from the front (the clear lens wraps all the way to the side and rear of the housing ala mercedes benz etc.). everything works w/ the addition of a folding switch between the fog and mirror switches on the left side of the dash, and they also fold in when i arm my car's alarm (and unfold on disarm):

these were a little tougher to do as they required the metal bases to be grinded down to fit flush to the sail panels. they have reverse mounting holes requiring new bolts (the bolts go into the mirror bases from inside the car not from the bases to the inside like stock). i had to drill all new holes in the sail panel to line them up correctly as well. you'll also need to run 2 wires (each side) through the door hinges, for the folding function and 2 wires (each side again) through the hinges to the front corners for the mirror's signals. i almost forgot, you will also need to add washers into the passenger side glass top motor mounts to gain 10-20 degrees additional downward tilt since otherwise you will be looking at the roofs of cars on that side and will not be able to see curbs when parking. it took me about 2 days to complete the entire install.

^ i never knew u had accord, i always assumed they were jdm. Wow learn something new everyday =)

OP: yes those in the link would work

i was gonna get JDM but they didn't have turn signals... there was a member who molded E Class signals into a set of JDM's and that was SWEET (i think it was STR8304)! if i were to do it again, i might've gone that route, but these are pretty rare and i like how they came out painted 2 tone. also these are MUCH smaller than stock or JDM, which takes getting used to as you have to move your head to see as much as you would w/ the stock or JDM mirrors; they have bigger blindspots, but still work sufficiently.

[nyjets985]

reelax:
i like the style you have on your car like you said all the ones i c are real small and r hard too see out of and create blindspots...do you know where i can get a pair of what you have... idc if they fold or not im not particular about that would b nice but doesnt matter that much..

[pinoyesv6]

out of anyone here at tgc, i've probably had the most type of mirrors installed on my car. i've had factory, jdm, m3, ganador style and the toucan mirrors reelax has.

for the m3 mirrors, i prefer the type with the removable base, unlike the ones IceDouTGaLanT posted. its a little bit easier to drill with the mirror removed.

for the mirrors that reelax has, i've probably modded and sold half a dozen of these, but yea, the vision range is better than all of the aftermarket mirrors that i've tried. still not as good as stock.

[starh4x]

Whats the difference between USDM and JDM mirrors?

[G-spot]

one folds, the other don't

[ShiZnitH]

Dont buy the M3 mirrors, theyr so tacky :lol:
Get the JDM mirrors with either electric folding or the regular ones.
I got the first one but a asshole of a friend to my brother pushed it inwards hen it was in lockmode and fuckin destroyd the electric motor innit :( Thats the downside with the foldin mirror. So if u go for that remember to fold in the mirrors so not some ass will force it when its locked ;)

have the alarm fold the mirrors and unfold the mirrors on arm/dis-arm; that's what mine do. it doesn't give lame-brains any chance to fold your mirrors in (since they automatically fold when you arm the car and unfold when you dis-arm)... so they'll always be in the correct position for driving (open) and when parked (closed). the only problem w/ the JDM's is that they don't have signals (since they are redundant on JDM 8G's which already have signals on the fenders, USDM do not have those sidemarker signals stock).
