Remember, the rear corner bulbs do not turn on with the parking switch. Only with the signal (or hazard) switch. Therefore they only receive a postive feed for power to flash and a ground. I ran the wire in this order for both sides:

*from the pink/black (on the opposite side of the harness away from mirror) wire
*through the door and door jam
*along the sides under the interior plastic trim pieces
*around the rear seat
*behind the trunk liner
*to the rear signal postive wire.

It's a PITA, but it gets the job done. It's takes about 1.5 hrs on each side.

^ Hmmm that sounds like a PITA! Without actually taking everything apart, it seems like the fronts are easier to tap into. I will entertain both... thanks.

pic no 2,3,4 dont load for some reasons

SlimTL

^ Yeah I know. I think imageshack removed the link. There are four screws total to remove. The missing pics just show the two behind pull handle cover and the one on the bumper stopper by the pillar side of the door.

Hey,

How did you guys manage to ge the cable to go through the door. I got the cable to where does two connectors are in the side of the door but I dont know how to make it go past that white connector.

Thanks for the help.

grodri02

^^^Nevermind...I got it working.

Since the pink/black wire is essentially connected to the molex connector at the door...I taped this signal and ran it to the back. Its on the white connector and the wire is white with short gray line.

Thanks all!

glad it worked.

grodri02

Hey man...thanks for your help. The fuse blew on me because the wire did get stripped and was touching the chasis right at the white molex connector in the door. I guess with the pressure of that connector and by me trying to jam it through the side caused that wire to strip. After you told me that I can tap at the mulex connector, I did not even need the wire going through...just tapped from that connector. I did have to solder that wire that I broke tough....

Once again thanks for your help.

First mod on the car and now looking for whats next

grodri02

Hey...anyone know where can I buy the bumper stop with screw? I seem to have lost it for the passenger side. I dont know its real purpose since the door closes good and all but it must be there for some reason.

Thanks

when you can PM, hit me up.

SlimTL

Sorry for the late reply, but if you have a buddy that's pretty good with 12 volt (car) electronics, it's pretty simple. Or you could probably convince someone at a car electronics install business (such as stereo and speaker installs). Maybe Best Buy can give you helping hand, but it's up to their installers.
Good luck.

You know where I can get that type-S sidemirrors for that ridiculous price? I couldn't find it on ebay at all.

SlimTL

Unfortunately, the price of Honda/Acura parts has gone up since I bought mine 2 years ago. This is the ebay Acura dealer I purchased from. Here's the link to the ones I got...only at a slightly higher price.

Wow, I just realized that the Anthracite Metallic color I need for my 2006 Acura TL does not come in the 2007/2008 mirrors with turnsignals... Guess I will have to get them painted? Or does Carbon Bronze Pearl match the AM?

acura_dipset_tl

iTrader: (40)

You will definately need to get them paited A.M., as cbp is more of a brown color and does not match A.M.

jr27

what about graphite gray? does that match anthracite metallic? i want these but dont want to pay to paint them

I'd like yo swap the 2011 RL power fold mirrors with my 08's problem is that they woul have asm on the RL.

acura_dipset_tl

iTrader: (40)

I think PMM is the closes color to AM, but you can still tell the difference. Your best bet is to get them painted.

jr27

oh that sucks. that means more money on this mod. it is very cool but i will put it off for a bit. thanks for the info

Here I photoshopped this

Elg0rd0yadigg

so if anyone could direct me in the right direction or help out at all id gladly appriciate i bought an 04 tl from my friend and he did the 07 mirror mod, now the lights blink and everything but it has no power so i have to manually move the mirrors and also that same harness is part of the memory seats as well, so someone else told to buy an 07 tl miror wire hareness and switch that out in my 04 and id be good to go, now i just want to know if it is as ez as that sounds and do i have to do something else??

ackrite_tl05

Just guys & gals finished this mod, didn't need to run the wires to the trunk to tap in just find the positive wire in the split loom running towards the rear less hassle same success.

Roger555

iTrader: (3)

Yup! me too its nice to have to tap on wire only about 6" away just gotta know whats in all those harnesses!

ParaSurfer1979

I plan on swapping my 08's mirrors for the 2011 RL's power folding mirrors if they fit with little adjustments. That would be a sweet asset when parallel parking.

SlimTL

If it fits, that would be a nice mod.

Can you show which wire did you tap. Also how do i run the the wire from the mirror to inside the car.

G's TL

Does anyone know if there are any significant changes to replacing the passenger side mirror? I read a different post that says that for the passenger side all you need to do is remove the little triangular cover (without having to remove the entire door panel). Is this accurate?

Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

what about the passenger side?
