Anyone of you know the size of outside mirrors on TSX are the same as Honda accord?

moda_way

They are not the same parts; including the heated and non-heated versions.

I think what his question is actually if the TSX mirrors fit the Accord?

Alin10123

Doubt it. If they did... there might be some modification needed to wire everything up to work. I dont believe the accord has the turn signals. So... either way, it'll never be a plug and play.

Thanks for the help guys..here is what I am trying to find out. I am getting a TSX soon in the next couple of weeks. In my previous cars, I get my mirrors custom made, just the actual mirror part. It is this wide angle mirrors that pretty much clears all blind spots. I want to have the mirror made and ready when I get my TSX. So i was wondering if the Accord mirror are identical to the TSX mirrors because I have an Accord.

Hope this makes sense!

my uncle taught me a good method of eliminating the blind spots....most people when they look in their sideview mirrors, can see their own car. if you move the mirrors further out....to where you cant see your own car, you eliminate the blind spot. if you see the guy in your mirror, you're clear, when he's next to you, you see him out of the corner of your eye. it's great. i do both mirrors this way.

Jeff The Pianist

That's what i do also, but the mirrors that I get custom made is amazing. I never need to turn my head when I merge or anything. It's amazing!
The only down side to those mirrors is that the heated mirrors won't work anymore! BUt i don't care...it's California! haha

bradykp

i havent turned my head since my uncle taught me this....and i love my heated mirrors!!!!!!!

damn northeast.

Jeff, I wonder if your mirror maker can make me a custom mirror glass for my motorcycle mirror which is cracked (and unreplaceable)?
BTW I also aim my stock mirrors to see both blind spots--not seeing my own car.

Jeff The Pianist

I don't think they sell motorcycle mirrors...sorry!

moda_way

My answer still stands. If they were they same then the part numbers would match, but I did not find that to be the case. If you want, I can provide actual part numbers and measurements for both.

Jeff The Pianist

I would like the measurements of both....just on the actual mirror part itself, not the whole mirror with the cover and stuff.

If you can get pictures of both...that would be even better!

Thanks!

Jeff The Pianist

Thanks a lot! it helped a lot! so the only major difference is on the TSX is looks like a even rectangle, and the Accord has a little difference on the upper right corner. Thanks again!

jeff....Oh, you said "custom made" in one of your posts so I thought they were built to order. send a name/phone or URL anyway if you could. thanks, ed

MrChad

Is that the assembly or the mirror alone? Doesn't the Hybrid have a TSX like mirror?

moda_way

Mirror alone, but you never know if they included the assembly in the measurement posted to the parts catalog.

I'll check, but I'm pretty certain the Accord mirror is the same across all Accords.

TypeRS

the hybrid accords do use the TSX signal mirrors... that or they're very similar.

MrChad

moda_way

Very similar. The part numbers do not cross reference. The Accord Hybrid uses a part numbers of:

2005 Accord Hybrid Non-Heated
76203-SDC-A01 R
76253-SDC-A01 L

2006 Accord Hybrid Heated
76203-SEA-C42 R
76253-SDA-A11 L

They look awefully similar, but the way they hook into the actuator is different from what I can tell.

MrChad

You have to be careful of that, I call cheap mirror, good mirror. 6th gen Accord sedan's used a cheap floppy disc like actuator, while the coupes have a more robust firmer suction style 3 point setup. I bet the TSX and 7th Accord are much the same.

And my TSX has stiff movement free mirrors when drying them off, so I assume it's a good style. Unlike the floppy 6th gen Accord sedan's.

Since subject is sideview mirrors, perhaps some of the more knowledgeable folks can proffer some helpification for me ...

When I sit in my TSX, with the seat moved back to the most comfortable setting for me (a couple of inches backward travel left), I can't get the sideview mirrors to tilt far enough out to see my blind spots adequately. Especially on the left (driver's) side.

The mirror rotates outward via the switch, but when it is approaching the amount of angle-out that I'd like, it comes to its "bump-stop" and will not travel any further.
This kinda sucks.

Moving the seat far enough forward to gain a sight angle sufficient to see everything in blind-spot-land, is not really a solution. Knees in chest or obstructing steering wheel not good.

So, anyone know if that "degree of outward swivel" or whatever can be adjusted by a reasonably adept chimp, or typical genius TSX owner? Or is it a genius chimp?
Right now, I feel like adjusting it with a sledge hammer ...
