    sfv41901, I'm thinking of doing a roadtrip to California from Vancouver, BC, around September ? Would you be able to help me install the folding mirrors ? I can pay you labour fee for it.

    Let me know, thanks :)

    You inspired me, can you provide me with a shop list? And how much you spent?

    Thank you, good job.

    Thx.....what do u mean by shop list?

    The cost can vary depending on the current yen exchange rate....but expect to pay around $480-$550 just for the parts.

    got mine in today (minus the folder) I got them from ebay........... they have got to me knock offs because they are very dimm in daylight. the "Small Light" and "Signal" are wired up and work fine. I'm waiting on the "ground light" because I have some blue cab floor lights I want wired to the dome/door and might as well do them all at the same time. They look good, paint matches and the new mirror covers fit perfect... just disapointed with the LED inensity on the signals.

    No. I check. Mitaacessories has the altis automatic folding mirrors. The ones that we need are the ones that come off the toyota wish.

    Nice work! I believe JDM mirror cost around the same price just need the wire redone.

    the signals look a lot better at night, I guess I'm not so unhappy with them now.
