yeah, well said. I bought one set I think for $60, but that was a lucky price. I had to buy the relay separately, and that took some searching/waiting. Anyway, I have 2 sets now, both complete. This is the wrong place for this post, but if you want it, pm me.

I have seen complet sets go for just under 100$ to just under 200$ on ebay. just depends on whats in your price range. I got mine for like 120$ shipped with everything. they work awsomely and its a nice jdm touch. People get tripped out when you show them, and they are like why didnt my prelude come with that. LOL

eBay. Right now the complete set is running for around $140 before shipping. There are a coupld of auctions presently going with I believe a but it now of $100, or something like that, but they're all missing relays, and like jt says, it's not worth it without one, and even if you use a civic one, it's timing is different from the prelude's, so you can over tax the motor in the mirrors. If you see a complete set on eBay, I suggest you bid if you think you want it, getting the relay on it's own proved very difficult for me, but I was lucky, however I still paid dearly for it.

Yeah, that is pretty lucky. I mean, bottom line, if you want a price that you would expect to pay, it's mentioned above, but there's always a chance that you may get lucky and find a set for cheap, on average though, it'll be around whatever i said earlier.

There was one on ebay that just went for around 80 dollars complete. It was missing some harnesses, but that seems like it would be pretty easy to work around.

yeah, rare exception, he put too much in the subject line and couldn't complete either the words "mirrors" or "folding", that's most likely why

I was the first bidder on em, hoping for them to stay at $30 haha. The last two hours of the auction is when the action took place.

i would pay no more then 100 with a switch.

my entire set cost me 150, but it came with everything, even a door control, all the harness cut from the door, it was the most complete kit you can buy. worth it to me,

Whats so special about the relay that it is worth so much? Couldn't you just use another relay that you can pick up at radio shack?


Does the relay have a diagram on it? someone with one laying around should take a multimeter to it to see how it works...

the reason why teh relay is worth so much is that, unlike a radio shack switch or a civic/teg switch. it closes and opens the mirror when you push teh button. no holding down. also it open and closes for the correct amount of duration.
