DIY JDM style side mirrors combo lights (Signal+Parking+Courtesy lights)

So are they the whiteish color as in their pictures? How close is it to the BP?

 

Not sure who this eBay guys supplier is for the mirror covers but they are actually more of a really light tan color. Definitely would stand out against any of the stock codors. Would definitely need to be painted. Fortunately I got the original JDM factory pieces way back when from Sigma so I already have painted covers.

 

So Rodney is coming over today to help out as I swap out my factory JDM signal mirrors for the new ones with the puddle lights. Am really looking forward to it. Keep an eye out in the for sale forums as I will be selling the JDM signals with the new unpainted mirror covers. Will post a video when it's all done. Planning on tying in the blue courtesy lights or whatever they're called with the puddle lights so they will light up at the same time. Also, something I noticed yesterday as I pulled into a store parking lot. It looks like from what I'm guessing it was, was a 2010 or older Toyota Avalon uses the same mirror housing with the signals as ours do. Just has a different mounting plate, but for what we are looking for it looks like the exact same piece. May save some headaches for the people who just want the signals and don't care about the extra stuff and it can be gotten fairly easy through the dealer. Would be very interested if someone that works at a dealership if they could research it for us. I will post this in a new thread as well to make it easier to find.

 

Would someone be willing to do a write up for a sticky on just how to wire these as opposed to having to go through 20+ pages to get all the final answers? It would be a big help to all who are doing this in the future. Thanks. Just a suggestion.

 

So, could you explain more to me about how one would go about getting the new "fancier" signal mirrors (the ones with the puddle lights) as well as the folding option? Thanks!

Might be available through Priuschat store in the future.

No idea about the folding option, although civicsky and Nigel are possibly researching it.

 

I was trying to ask CivicSky, but didn't reply correctly I guess, so thanks for taking the time to answer! I had asked the seller of the ones on eBay recently if those covers came in the 070 Arctic White color, but they've never responded.

 

The ones on eBay are unpainted. It's matte white. You have to have it painted yourself. That's it's so cheap.

 

Hi guys,

I have been following this thread since before I got my car. (I knew I would get these mirrors even back then) I know CivicSky tapped into the dome light for the puddle light portion of the mirrors, and the turn signal wires are there to tap into. (Thanks for the info!)

Question: Has anyone determined if the LED door sill wires will work like the dome light or do they just come on like the puddle lights on the door? I ask because I have see a lot of folks trying to locate the 'Blue'? dome wire to tap into. It seems like running new wires to tap into the overhead dome in back is the only option for now. Someone thought they found the connector WAYYY up under the dash.

BTW, I am not sure if I'll connect the white 'driving lights' or not. I do not see other cars in the US set up like this usually. Hmm... your Thoughts?

 

Sigma Auto has them also! :rockon: A bit more expensive though. They have other Prius acc. too, including the folding option! I have not purchased from them (yet). The folding console storage doors look neat, but $175? - YOWCH!

I usually have to pull my window sticker/decal out of the glove box to get the color name right. I know it's the 070, definitely, but the right name of white always throws me for some reason (Blizzard Pearl, Arctic White, Snowflurry, etc...)... I couldn't find my window decal, though, so I should have just stuck with only saying the one part I know for a fact: the 070 part! I had just read Arctic White somewhere, though, so figured what the heck! lol! It's def the Blizzard Pearl White, though...

 

So for that ebay supplier how is the lights compared to civicskys supplier?

 

It's the same but the mirror cover is unpainted matte white. He does have 202 black color for 129.99+20 shipping. PRIUS 2010-2011 LED mirror cover WHITE light 202 color | eBay

 

He's charging only $20 extra for painted pairs. Unusually cheap and makes me think he's hand painting them

 

Hi PC, Do these kits come with screws, wire taps, or instructions? I have a set on order from Nigel and wonder if I have to go to Lowes for some extra parts or wires first.

Thanks!

 

For those of us that ordered from Nigel what is the status of the signal mirrors?

Last he got back to me at least was april 8th when he got the shipment in and said he was going to send them in for painting.

It's april 27th and I'm just wondering what the status us :\
