    The require is not that bad, I actually wired them up with out being in the car and it work perfectly once i put 12 volts through it. you have to run 2 extra. but i just plan to run all the wires i need to keep the stock piece intact.

    I didn't use the module, the mirror stops when it's folded/opened. That's good enough for me.

    On a sidenote since I'm writing here anyway lol... If you hook up the mirrors rigth, you can just colormatch the wires at the switch for the JDM one.

    Ok so i have the JDM switch with the harness (Courtesy of Trigger).
    So all i NEED to do is color match and i'm good, RIGHT? No module for the motor, or nothing? they should open & close on command with the JDM switch. i'll get to work when i pull back in from sea.

    Yes, that's how I did it and it works.

    For the mirrors (either with the JDM or USDM switch):

    LH

    JDM Yellow -> USDM Blue
    JDM Blue -> USDM White
    JDM White -> USDM Green

    RH

    JDM Yellow -> USDM Blue
    JDM Blue -> USD White
    JDM White -> USDM Yellow

    For the JDM switch, just colormatch evrything, plus the two extra wires routed from the mirror:

    Green -> JDM switch Brown
    Orange -> JDM switch Sky Blue

    I have my 7g jdm mirrors hooked up with the regular wireharness for my usdm power mirrors, everything works fine except the folding part.

    Has anyone figured out the wiring scheme for the 7g JDM control to USDM wiring?

    i think it was proto who told me this but... someone had JDM mirrors and used their normal usdm switch to control the glass and wired a store bought switch to the wires that control the folding action.

    But I think if you can find out how to match it to the 7g wires, the JDM switch will look better. Funny thing is, I found a Mirage on the junkyard the other day that was appearently prewired for the JDM switch as well... maybe I should've take the connector for comparison of the wirecolors, I dunno

    ok so i just took me 6 hours to figure out how to splice my jdm mirror control to my usdm wiring for 7g Galant. let me go ahead and specify 94. As the coloring may be different on different years.

    some hints:
    the strip on the oem wires denote side of car right miror or left mirror.

    but of course it wasn't so easy. when i looked at the male piggy tail for the driverside mirror (wires on the door), it has brown, yellow and green wires all with a red stripe, and the passenger side had the same all with a blue stripe.

    when i went to test those same colors from the back of the oem control out of the dash ie brown, yellow, and green with red stripe the passenger side moved, and vice versus...

    Any way long story short, this is what i got.

    OEM colors -------------- Jdm Wires
    (dash)-------------------(harness)

    Blue/ orange stripe---- blue (12v)

    black ---- black (ground for whole system)

    yellow/ red stripe---- orange/blk strp (left and right passenger side)

    green/red strp----- green/blk strp (up down, passenger)

    yellow/ blue strp----- Blue/ yellow strp (left right, driverside)*

    green/blue strp------ orange/ blue strp (up down driverside)*

    brown/ blue strp----- red/yellow strp (switched + for both mirrors)





    the controls for the folding part are the same as everyone else has stated
    sky blue to orange, and brown to green.

    To make it a little cleaner, I got a donor power mirror male piggy harness from 92 diamonte LS. took out the blk and blk/red strp. and put them into my stock piggy tail, now i have a 5 prong piggy instead of 2, just need to run the wires.

    the one i wrote was for a 7g, the one Cali wrote was for an 8g... and you havea 6g. You'll probalby have to play with wires for your set up. I'm not sure what the differences is from your switch and relay.

    so, did you ever figure out how to wire it? if so, which one is 12V and the ground.

    A filipino's number one dream is to own a car before anything else. In the philippines, most private car owners consider their vehicles as an extension of their home but with one differrence: a home is where his wife cooks while a car is where his girlfriend builds a fire. Hmmm...

    I havent had the time to figure out this switch, from what I can tell it is a switch off of a 6G. I did figure out the wiring to use my USDM switch. I think Im just going to try to find JDM switch for the 8G to make this easier to do.

    or you could wire a toggle switch for the folding part, that may be cheaper and easier than tracking down juat a jdm switch

  16. #36
    true, but I kinda want the switch, it would look better then a toggle switch.

    Don't mean to bring up such an old thread but I bought two good condition 6th gen JDM VR4 mirrors with harness, switch (harnessed), and relay (harnessed) and was wondering if anyone could help me out with translation or how to wire these damn things up? Here are the two links I'm currently working with!

    X10! on a translation of this, this would help me out as well. Just looking at this kinda helps me see what I have and what goes to where.
