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

it should look like this

 

Just got mine installed by @ncases

Is there a proper way to remove the cover from the 3in1? I'm looking at it and looks pretty snug. Don't want to break it. Any help would be great, would love to CF dip them

 

Try to pry it under instead on the side.

 

Just a heads up to anyone looking to do this mod I found this new product by Avest while browsing yahoo auctions japan: avestparts.jp/product/priusvertical/ It has flowing LED signals and they say it's also brighter than the old tube LED design. The youtube demo on the link looks awesome!
It looks like a very promising alternative to MIT accessories but it looks like you would need to purchase the side mirror covers separately which would also make it more expensive but definitely something worth considering.

 

tried but it started to flex. Got the garnish off though..

But I think I just need to find my plastic molding tool and kind of imitate this video:

 

nevermind. was fairly easy to be honest dipping in CF tomorrow after work!

 

Great you did it?

 

not yet, was busy grading all day yesterday. But hopefully after work today. But high chance I won't be able to since I have to try and beat my fiancé back home because I'm expecting my new tails to arrive today (I want to ease her into it.. prep before the rage-face).

I already unboxed the dip kit though. I'm really excited and cant wait to see the difference from when I used to wrap CF instead!

and yes.... If i haven't told PriusChat yet, I do my spray mods in my classroom

and the reason is because since I have a kiln room, I have a designated ventilation room! Any spray modding during the Winter is easy for me

 

Ok.....now I'm jealous

Thx 4 rubbing it in.

 

Would it be possible for you to identify which area of the car this is at? I tried to look but can't seem to find a match for your diagrams.

 

That blue wire is going to be on the rear plug of the BCM (Body Control Module) that is to the left of the steering wheel on a LHD Prii.

The BCM has a total of 5, sometimes 6 connectors.....2 in the rear & either 3 or 4 in the front plus the main white power wire from the fuse box.

 

My car had original mirror turn light so connected all negatives to that.
I failed my plan to connect to footwell to running light since it's full time 12v.
And took only positive near to dome for welcome and got to know its full time 12v.

How did you remove map light. It seems really tight. I didn't want to damage.

Or I can open A pillar. But could not find wires for welcome light. I think better to find it at pillar. Can you please explain?

Also I want white light to be full time on while running where can I connect positive for that easily?

Btw its a JDM, RHD

 

The passenger a pillar is where I want to look for the done light (left side since u have RHD). In the a pillar, it will be the blue wire in the bundle. This will be the ur ground......connect the white wire from the puddle light to the blue wire.
The red wire needs a constant 12v +

For the white pilot light, I need to tap the brown wire at the driver & passenger foot well junction in the 36pin connector.

 

Thanks!

 

That means there's no positive to on/off. So I have to re wire the entire thing. Lucky to just start only with passenger side..

 

Correct. The dome lights are negative switched.....not positive switched

 

In that case is there a positive line I can use inside the mirror or in the door. That will make my life easy. (I know shutter has a positive, but when shutters locked centrally it's off)

 

If u have the home link mirror, yes, it will have the constant 12v +

On ur passenger side foot well junction, there is a black connector (i think 8 pin).....in that black connector will be a red wire.....it's a constant 12v+

 

I hope to be posting a set of jdm mirrors for sale soon. Be on the look out!
