the instructions are gone because no one wants you to install those horrific mirrors on your cars
Instructions should read as follows:
1. Remove From box
2. Place on Ground Near Rear Tires
3. Get in Car
4. Remove From Park
5. Put in reverse
6. apply even force to Gas Pedal
7. Grab Broom And Dust Pan
8. Incinerate Parts in Near By Fireplace

Thank Yous are welcomed

If you paid with paypal, file item not as described and go for a full refund.

They are as they said, worth adding plastic to your tires.

More then likely they are cheap imatations of the real M3 mirrors (hence no instructions)

Watches out for your electrical system if you do manage to get them installed over getting a refund.

(sees another accord go up in smoke over cheap imatation FAKES)

hahaha^^^

REAL M3 Mirrors on those cars from that place, I think they used to make planes or something...e30, e36, e46, e something or another...those people...you know what I am talking about...

Yes...ON an M3 they look good, but I wont give any other car a chance to enjoy their beauty on the car they came from

It turned out not to be a waste the motors work great and I used the plugin from a set of junkyard mirrors if anybody buys a set be prepared to do a little tech work with a battery and a multi-meter

Care to share the wiring diagram? Where or what did you wire to, if you don't mind? I purchased the same and my original mirrors are cashed. Let me know what you found out if you don't mind.

Thanxx
