man I know but this has really been a royal pain in the a@# if I had to do it again I would not have done it..... has any one that has the jdm mirrors have trouble with the timing in the relay is it possible to throw the timing off -- I was paying with them open and close vise versa and I noticed that we I repeatdly did that the drivers side and pass side would get out of sync... then when I turn the car off they would reset and when I turned the car on push the button they would close perfect timing when I turn the key off and back on then push the button they would open perfect timing -- is this just the way the mirrors are ???? I could not find this question in any of the jdm mirror threads thanks

my mirrors use to be out of sync, but they are find now. actualyl i would be willing to wire some1 elses mirrors up. for some beers or lunch/dinner. if you got the tools it is easy.

mine work great on my red car

selude · 06-25-2004, 12:01 PM

I fully installed them and they work perfect I think since I was testing them while off the car the other mirror was draging and got out of time but they both work perfect now if it was nt for the jdm wiring diagram that i got off this forum I would have never been able to do these I suck at installing wires /////

if they reset every time you turn off the car.... then they are not hooked up to 12V constant.... which they need to be.

yeap and I love em just got them back from the painter and they are beautiful I just love the way they work I used the glass out of my drivers side mirror in the jdm housing because the angle was bad but now they are perfect ----

damn Mine fold when I hit the button but they dont wanna stop its just sits closed clicking and clickin till I cut off the power then I have to press it again to open them and same thing gets all the way opened then Click click click Whats up with that?

it could be the relay if you are using the wrong one it will do that the prelude jdm mirror relays are very rare found one off of ebay for 35 bucks so you can too

two option teh relay is broken, or somehow you might have kept on feeling a live wire to keep making them turn, and i have no idea how you would be able to do thta.

also for my mirrors, i have perfect adjustment and view. haha cause i have the folding option on USDM housing.

selude · 06-30-2004, 11:41 AM

yeah I thought about that option using the usdm housing but I used the glass in the jdm housing and the mirrors look good and I have good view with them --- I did not want to do the usdm housing because the drivers mirror does not fold in all the way when you do this and they look awkward

MidNKight-lude · 06-30-2004, 04:30 PM

true they dont' fold in all the way, but i dont' think it look sawkward, but to each his own.
