ok so i just ordered a set of jdm power folding mirrors from eversping motorsports on ebay, i just got them today and here is my dilemma...
as far as i knew the power folding mirrors have the basic 3 wire connector, for the movement of the glass, and a 2 wire connector for the folding and unfolding. i already have a harness set up and working with my oem crx power non-folding mirrors. now i have made a new harness for the folding mirrors, ive added the relay and im ready to go as soon as my switch comes in. but my dilemma is this...i have 2 more wires on each mirror that were tucked in with the harness that comes off the mirrors. im in the process of uploading pics to show you guys what i mean. my mirrors are also metal i expected hard plastic like the other ones. does anyone know what these wires go to???

 

oh man, they sold you the wrong ones but don't worry, i'll take em off your hands. lol. anyways, how do you have them wired up? are you using oem relays?

 

yes i am using the oem relay and i ordered an oem switch as well
here is a pic...

Not sure about the wiring myself, as i haven't hooked up my current set either. But i can tell you all the powered fold in mirrors are a heavier built metal base. They are also aimed wrong for a left hand drive car. I bought new mirror glass for mine, but have yet to install them either...hopefully this spring!

You may have another version of power mirror which are the heated ones, as some had that option.

 

hmmm. can anyone confirm that thses might be the heated ones before i get too happy.

 

here are more pics....

you purchased heated mirrors.

I think if I can remember rightly there is 4 or 5 wires per mirror. should basically be either 1 or 2 connectors. You have three so you have the heated option.

check crx community there are a bunch of crx guys from europe on there.

 

how do you change the mirrors out on these to be able to see correctly anyway

 

on my standard jdm power mirrors i have the adjusted all the way out and i just lean in towards the center of the crx a little and im golden. i see just fine this way.

 

anyone know how to make the heated portion work? do i need a new mirror switch or just get switch that i see on ebay and they just show the heated mirror on it??

 

is this how im supposed to make them work?

I haven't confirmed this, but it was my understanding that its the curve of the glass. So i just went out and bought new mirror glass from the local Honda dealer.

 

are you referring to the curve in the jdm mirror or the usdm mirror?

 

na man that aint it.

the one I have seen is the regular power window switch square with the fold button as well as a little button that show the heat symbol. All in one.

They are hella rare.

try jdm password.

 

I guess ill find out also I bought the ef9 sir power heated manual folding mirrors

crappy pics but thats all I have from the auction mine came all pre wired all I have to do is run the wire into the door for the mirrors and plug it in and Im done Ill know more when they get herewhich should be a a day or 2 -I guess its not to bad for 150$ and I dont have to wire up ****

 

i know which switch is used for the folding mirrors...

looks like that but for the EF's.
what i meant was is the other switch i posted the one that is used to control the heated portion of the mirror? i was thinking of just tapping into the rear defroster switch that way it would work more like its supposed to.
that mirror switch above looks like a legend switch.

 

It looks like a regular power folding mirrors switch, except theres a button in the middle of the pad that you use to swivel the glass around. Wiring it into the defroster is a much better idea though.

 

yea that's what i was thinking because then it would do what its supposed to do, but to all the heated glass in my car. i think i might do that.

 

yea mine only ran me about 200 shipped and the harness is pretty simple to make. well i just received word back from the guy i bought the mirrors from and he confirms that they are heated as well. so yea now im happier.

 

I just stole this picture from Bridgeport:

 

^^ that one doesn't fold?
I'm down to see the folding version ha ha
its like 4 switches in one!

 

The folding version has a smaller side selecter to fit a push fold button next to it (Like a regular PFM button).

 

I'm not 100% sure, But that type of mirror looks like it would never fit on my 90-91crx! It looks like they sold you ones for civic's not CRX's. Did you test fit them?

 

also, FYI...You use a heat gun on the glass untill the plastic rim heats up around it. Only then can you pop out the glass and get to the screws behind it! after you get them out of the trim, then swap over the mirror glass to the corect mirror for left hand drive!

 

yes they fit perfect, i had them on my 90 dx crx all day today. i took them off when i got home to spray them. the only issue i had was they hit my modified 90-91 civic hb visors. i took off one of the visors and they sit flush. they are currently drying and waiting for clear coat. i will take pics tomorrow after i re-install them on my crx.
