Adding dimming side mirrors to A-Spec
The one thing I am missing from my former Advance package is the dimming side mirrors.. and the puddle lights under the mirror.
I see there is a cutout for the puddle lights,
Has anyone had Acura replace the side mirrors in the A Spec with ones that Dom at night and add puddle lights? I see the advance now also has fold in mirrors and o wouldn’t think that’s possible as it’s not part of the car, but I would love to have side dimming and puddle lights back,,,
anyone done this through the dealer and if so what did it cost?

I had looked into it on my 15 tech. the harnesses in the door to the mirrors are different, as are the interior harnesses. I havent figured out what component in the car collects the dimming signal from the rear view mirror and passes it elsewhere, but if the part numbers are the same in theory youd just need the new mirrors and run the missing wires end to end

I wonder if it would be simpler to just wore them to a switch under the dash and manually activate them when you want them to dim. I'd be okay with that in my car if it could be done.
