Avest Side Mirror install

I compared the Camry, the mirror turn signal is the same, I have already purchased, China, 40 dollars.

 

Cool. Good luck with the install

I have the Prime too and installed the signal mirror. Just read the thread and you figure out the wiring & how to run wires. Is the Camry signal is just signal? If so you can ground the ground wire on the metal part on the door and run a single wire in for the signal. Should be super simple.

 

The new Corolla has signal mirror

 

Have completed all but the DRL circuit.
Really digging the welcome / puddle lights and hoping the signals have more visibility when my bike is on the hitch rack.
bobthejedi: Thanks for the install howto

 

Will the drl’s only work if I connect the black and white cables?
I have the 4 pair set wired in and the two switches. At this point I left the puddle light
Black and white wires undone for now and I’m not getting the drl to be on.

The. ACC wire I used was getting 10.6volts not sure I’d that is causing the problem.

 

I see u have a 2012? the 3rd gen prius/2nd gen plug in.

if its these lights u have


The yellow should have constant power, cause its the indicator and alarm lights, so they work when the car is off.

Green should have ACC 12V because its the DRL.

Black and white is puddle lights. I connected them to the foot lights in my car, so whenever i open the car via the keyfob they light up, and when the car is in park they turn on, and when i get in gear it turns off.

The light yellow, pink and purple, thats for the buttons that changes from sequental blinking or constant blinking, and what turns on and off the DRL. U just have to try and short them in eachother like a button would do to turn them on. I have the buttons in my car so i can choose when to turn them on and off, but @sfv41901 for example has just shortned them into eachother in the mirror so he dont have to route those wires into the car.

if it is the 3rd gen u have i can make a simple diagram showing where i took power.

 

Hi! Guess I didn’t update my profile yet! Here is my new babe!

Just got a 2018 prime!

 

Bobthejedi! Can you PLEASE explain the photo you have posted regarding “tap ACC/Negative/Constant”? You instructions are perfect except for this critical explanation. You don’t mention what color wire you have tapped into for either the constant or ACC wire. Then, BOTH red quick connectors have what appears to be a 12 gauge Red wire leading from BOTH connectors, however these are supposed to be connected to the Yellow and Green wires. The photo also is deceiving because we can’t see what color you have tapped into or which one is constant and which is ACC.
Finally, you were kind enough to post a reference thread to ACC and constant 12 volts because Someone had PM’d you; however, the thread you have linked takes us to a thread about hardwiring a dash cam and the the only wiring the thread discusses is about tapping the ACC FUSE using a fuse tap where as your Avest install didn’t mention anything about tapping the fuse box but instead you have two red wire taps tapping 2 wires. Brother please help me out!
Thanks!!!

 

Just finished on my prime, would've been terrible without the guide, thanks so much.

For premium trims, there's no yellow and blue wire, use purple and green.

I took the opportunity to vinyl wrap it gloss black to match the rest of the mirror.


Purple and Green for premium trims

Also found this nice little spot to install the buttons. A simple pop off the side panel and there's the switches. Doesn't fit perfectly but has stayed, a washer would help.


I love these things, only thing is that the bottom panel doesn't fit flush, mine pops out just a bit. Still love them though.

I'd rate this a 7 out of 10 for toughness. Easy once you get one side done. Layout the wires and they'll explain themselves to you.

 

Two of my buddies (Prius and Prius Prime) just completed their Avest sequential turn signals as well.. They both loved it, this is the best Functional mods in my opinion!

 

I need this.... but need a much cleaner install.

 

Thank you for the Tutorial.. it is really easy to follow. But I have a question- the kit I have has puddle light, turning signals, and position light (dsl). I followed all of the connections. But can not find where you connected the DSL wire.. could you help? Thanks

 

Position light is the constant white right? The kit should come with a button, you connect the wires to constant 12V power, then turn them on and off via the button. That’s atleast how I did it, because they’re seriously bright at night and I don’t wanna blind anyone.
