Idk If this has been brought up before

but last nite after cleaning my 05 TL i jumped in the car to go to the gas station as i turn the steering wheel... i notices the side mirrors turn in and out along w the steering wheel...

At first didnt believe it so i hit my buddy up who has a 06 TL to test it out and BOOM! same thing... even he was left speechless...lol

idk if anyone else has ever seen this...
i kno that they turn when you reverse but didnt know that they moved along with the steering wheel...

 

if this is true, i did not know about it.

 

haha that the same thing i said...
i didnt believe it at 1st though my mind was playin tricks but tried it out on my boys car n same thing...

 

 

^

 

lolwut...

 

you and your boy must've had some GOOD shit to puff on prior to discovering this phenomenon known as 'shape shifting'

 

all i can say is go out and try it...

 

I feel like if I try this I'll end up getting Rick rolled

 

So your saying each time I should turn my wheel my mirror glass moves, or the housing? I can tell you right now that this is false. The only time my mirror moves is when I put it in reverse when it is on that setting. Post up a video of this happening to you.

Of course I have a 08 so I can't exactly call you a liar.

 

i will. can i borrow your stash beforehand? i'm local, in MD.

 

 

lmao!!!!!

 

ill deff try an get a vid up.. sorry cant do it tht fast im at work all day....

 

Yea SharksBreath u can have some of my stash got to get rid of it before i move to colorado...lol

 

It does work... I tried it out on my 06 tl. Try it out while u are sitting in your car. Ot does it a little. U really have to look at it to see it

 

alright, call me gullible or what not but i read this and had to go try it out, my mirrors did move very slightly when i had my car in drive or park sitting still..........But i do have to say the mirror moved due to the whole car moving to that side due to your wheels moving!!! its the car shifting very slightly that causes your mirrors to move...that is all.

and i can remember my 04 doing this when i first got it, the mirrors going down when i put it in reverse, but now they dont move, how do you change that setting???

 

 

So you're saying that when the car is in reverse that the wheels moving causes the mirrors to tilt?

 

Why would I want to look behind me while turning??? Emergency vehicles?

Tell me this car was designed for high speed pursuits.

 

 

teh TL is supa dupa fast thanks to vtack yo

 

i never said i had my car in reverse, i said in park or in drive just moving my wheel back and forth, the wheels moving back and forth cause the car to shift very little making it seem like the mirrors are moving.

 

But they aren't actually moving. So what's your point?

 

I have a feeling I know where this thread is going

 

the wheels move to the left and right, that is actually moving is it not?

 

 

Correct, but the whole car is "shifting" not the mirrors themselves like the OP described.

 

 

I agree, just tossing my 2 cents out there with what i found. thanks

 

this is retarded.. there is absolutely no reason why a mirror should move or tilt while your turning.. serves no purpose.

getting trolled here.

maybe your mirror is lose causing the effects of movement of the mirrors while driving.

 

Lol, trolled. I almost went and tried this, and then thought better of it. I wish our headlights did this though!

 

to the

 

If your mirrors don't move or tilt, it's because you're extremely low on mirror fluid. I suggest going to the dealer to get this problem fixed.

 

I had my mirror fluid replaced just the other day when they did my PS hose recall.. It was cheap only like 37 dollars to get it changed. I can't believe the difference it made in the mirrors moving more smoothly within the housings.

 

Is your mirror switch in the middle or on the R?




And I tried this a while ago after cleaning my car a bit LOL and it does wiggle around a bit in a circular movement. I guess it happens on all cars , I have a TSX

 

Like the lexus.

The Mazda CX-9 you can adjust your headlights low middle and high so you could purposely ride your lights high or set them down a bit. Great for hauling cargo or empty.

I digress.

 

Did you ever get out of work to "deff try an get a vid up"?

 

When I turn my steering wheel my two front wheels turn in the same direction. Is that normal?

 

they'll only work when your car is unlocked
