2007 Sideview Mirror Mod
Has anyone switched out their 04-06 sideview mirrors with the new 07's? Seems like a cool mod, but im not too sure if there would be any wiring to the indicators involved.

I'm about to do this...
I have the '07 side view mirrors on order to install on my '04 TL. I'm not brave enough to do it myself
but my mechanic/body shop owner told me to go ahead and order them, he'll plug 'em in and see what happens, and if the wiring harness doesn't support the turn signals, he'll make it work.
I will let you know how it works out.
Not really necessary, but I just like the look of the turn signals on the mirrors.

The new mirrors will not signal just by merely installing them. Having been under there, I can tell you there will be wiring issues, but they probably won't be too monumental.
Another issue is color. If your '04/5/6 TL's color isn't available on the '07, your body shop will have to paint them to match ... at additional cost of course.

As for the color, fortunately my '04 TL is nighthawk black pearl, which is still available on the '07s, so I am getting the mirrors prepainted in the correct color.
