Hey Pot...

You can get the blinker off by just adjusting the mirror all the way out and reaching in from the front you will see a phillips screw that holds in the blinker light. I had to replace one on my 2010.... Check out my response here with a pdf showing the image... Hope it helps...

A little update here:

USDM vs CDM



Mirrors installed just for test the light, tilt and heated options:

potmilkz

wow those things are soo huge..

pimpin-tl

Yeah too huge for my taste. Makes the car look a bit off.

Agree, too big but if OP likes.

josetorres04

haha I know they are big. But I love the power folding option!

sympley

josetorres04 was this plug and play upgrade or did you have to run some extra wires as in earlier posts? I think this mod is sweet. Just to clarify I would need the following:

Mirrors: International
http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw...rrors&_sacat=0
These are for acura but for China market and have build in folding option?
Switch:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-Genuine-...9355c3&vxp=mtr
Is this direct fit to TL? or some trimming required?

Anything else that is needed?

potmilkz

i like the option but damn those remind me of toyota sequoia or lexus gx470 side mirros. like for large suv's

Hey OP, have you figured out which wires on the CDM mirror is for the folding option?

Thnx!

mgookool1

Nevermind OP, figured them out...

There's two wires by themselves on the plug,
black wire and white wire...

(-) to black & (+) to white = fold IN

(+) to black & (-) to white = fold OUT

josetorres04

It is plug and play as you can see the plug are the same. You need to run 2 wires from each mirror to the switch if you want the folding option.

yeah, but the driving experience is another story. You can see everything behind the car!!! very happy with the new mirror.

I agree jose, the field-of-view is definately an improvement over the original mirrors!

Thanks for this thread and your links!

ANDYCHULOSKI09

The mirror are massive and motor are loud but overall you did a great job.

josetorres04

sure lol, I think that the RL (US) comes with this option, right???

josetorres04

Yes, I also noticed the noise when installed them the first time.

First off, thanks to the OP for his time in helping us with this mod. I had purchased a pair of these mirrors to also add this feature, but never got the chance. My car was totalled.

I recently came across them after Spring cleaning. I would like to offer them to forum members first.

Anyone interested, please check my post in the black market if interested.
**** ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED ****

When I test fit them on the car, I thought they actually looked pretty good on the car in-person and can possibly be wired up to fold with ignition on/off.

Thanks!

oyayjoe

Couldnt you just buy these cdm mirrors and gut them, then put the guts inside the original usdm mirror and make it power folding? I mean if you don't want the big ass mirrors?

potmilkz

uhh.... oyayjoe.. there is a reason why folding the folding mirrors are bigger then usdm ones.. and it is because there is a motor inside..

lol.. talk about using some common sense.

oyayjoe

uhh yea i highly doubt that motor inside is big, considering honda has made power folding mirrors on jdm integra's which are pretty small mirrors.

vivmike

Dumbo mirrors. No way..I'll just push mine in.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but if anyone who has done this mod and is still active, would you be able to help me answer the following questions below?

1. How many additional wires do the PFM mirror connector plug have compared to the Non-PFM (USDM) mirror connector plug. Someone mentioned 2 above for the PFM feature but I was wondering if there were 2 additional wires for something else.

2. On the back of the Non-PFM switch harness, how many additional slots are there to put the 2 pin connectors in?

Thanks in advance.

potmilkz

nice! now are you going to share how you did it?

NOX 3.2

haha, really big mirrors, I wonder if your gas mileage went down

Are they bigger because the folding mechanism needs the room inside ?
or can we retrofit the OEM mirror with the mechanism from the CDN version...?

potmilkz

^^if only you looked 2 post above yours you would know the answer..

echodigital

Please share DIY. It looks really cool.

So I'm going to REALLY bring a thread back from the dead - I realize I'm about 8 years late to this party but I'd love dearly to make this modification happen. Big issue: where to find these CDM TL mirrors at this point...

How desperate did I get? I got RL mirrors, ripped the turn motor out, heavily modified it, and jammed into my TL passenger side mirror. Did it work? Short answer, yes. Is it 100%? Nope.

Any advice? I'll start a WTB as well.
