Scion XD LED mirror install pics aplenty

[enviri]

**update: The 2nd gen TC side mirrors also fit, with the same look**

ahh the good ole junkyards :biggrin:

the Scion XD mirrors look just like the JDM blinker mirrors, or it could very well be the same thing.

This is a step by step hold your hand approach.

Those without the power package might need to refer back to eTimago's LED install DIY as reference.

Tools (for the mirror install)
10 mm socket and ratchet (extension would help alot)
philips screwdriver, magnetic
xacto knife or razor

Step 0:

have it painted if it doesnt match your paint code.

Step 1:

pull out the door card and put it somewhere safe

Step 2:

unclip the side mirror wiring, if you have the power package equipped.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/xienji/Scion%20XD%20led%20mirror%20install/IMG_0653.jpg

Step 3:

use your 10mm socket and take out the 3 bolts holding the whole mirror assembly. we need to do this because we need to reuse that door bracket since the XD is a different size/shape. PLEASE dont let the mirror drop. take care of it when removing the bolts. use the magnet if you got something magnetic to carefully take out the bolts from the thread.

Step 4:

pull the whole assembly out

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/xienji/Scion%20XD%20led%20mirror%20install/IMG_0657.jpg

Step 5:

unscrew the 3 screws underneath the door mirror with your philips screwdriver.

Step 6:

You'll have to remove the outer clip wiring carefully with an xacto knife, if you want a clean install. you are going to reuse the clip, so cut as clean as possible.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/xienji/Scion%20XD%20led%20mirror%20install/IMG_0661.jpg

my technique is to use an x-acto knife facing blade away from the wiring and leverage up. for a fast clean cut

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/xienji/Scion%20XD%20led%20mirror%20install/IMG_0668.jpg

Step 7:

there's a plastic piece where the bolt threads are, you can pull it away, there's no adhesive at all or anthing really to make it tight.
you can now pull out the wire from the housing with no issue.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/xienji/Scion%20XD%20led%20mirror%20install/IMG_0662.jpg

Step 8:

do the reverse of step 7 and insert the XD mirrors.

Step 9:

rescrew the new mirrors into the housing

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/xienji/Scion%20XD%20led%20mirror%20install/IMG_0664.jpg

Step 10:

after the 3 screws are attached, and the housing is in one piece, reattached the clip "foreskin" back on

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f332/xienji/Scion%20XD%20led%20mirror%20install/IMG_0666.jpg

Step 11:

bolt everything up, and reclip the harness! The mirror adjustment controls work perfectly. Test it just in case.

Step 12:

wire up the LED blinkers http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showpost.php?p=585416&postcount=48 <<<click here

If you think the mirror itself from a yaris might fit the XD door mirror assembly, it wont fit. the clips are off by about a 1/2 inch.

[PETERPOOP]

those wheels and wheel color look perfect on your car. lookin good

[weedtank]

Wow that looks very good! How much did you get the mirrors for and paint?

[cali yaris]

good job! Those LEDs look better than the aftermarket covers I sell.

[enviri]

the mirrors totaled 130, and i purch the paint from sherwin williams and did it myself. i think the paint and clear was about 50.

[big lo]

Sweet, I always thought that those would fit perfect, nice job:headbang:

[Revsson]

From what year of Scion XD are these mirrors from?
Nice job on the paint.

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

wish work firewall would let me see....

[NZ-FE Vios]

Very clean. Too bad they didn't do this from the factory.

[Klink10]

I always thought they would work also. Thanks alot. The specifics on which actual mirrors to go for would be nice.

[MickZEL]

Looks great.

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

i believe he said SCION XD mirrors which would be from 2008-2011.....

[MickZEL]

Damn I want those too. They are sold separately or assembled with mirrors?
And how much cost?

[Klink10]

Thanks Rockland.

Now to be specific, what year did you pull those mirrors from?

[enviri]

Thanks Rockland.

Now to be specific, what year did you pull those mirrors from?

one from 2009, and the other from 2010..im very sure the XD side mirrors have never changed.

all Scion XD/Toyota Urban Cruiser(EU) side mirrors. there's no difference in them, really. I think some models dont have blinkers; but that's ultra rare.

use EBAY or car-part.com to get them cheap, or...if you want the part brand new its like somewhere about a couple hundred bucks, prepainted to XD colors.

[Klink10]

Thanks much for the response. By chance do those happen to flash when using the emergency button?

[redglare45]

Great job & great DIY :thumbsup:

[enviri]

Thanks much for the response. By chance do those happen to flash when using the emergency button?

no, the blinkers have still yet to be wired. its still raining, and it will keep raining for a week straight..I need a sunny day and a day off to remove my speakers to do some wiring, then locate the right wires to splice.

[Klink10]

Thanks. I went by the stealer today and had a sales rep fire one up for me. When he hit the emergency flashers those mirror lights did flash. Wondering why there would be a seperate wire for just those (emergency flashers) or you haven't hooked your electrics up at all but just installed the mirrors.

so you had the dealer install the mirrors in your yaris?

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

if it was only that easy......

[Klink10]

Oh....no way. Just wanted to see what they looked like up close and check on the functions. Had that on my mind about the emergency flasher mode. No, the dealer wanted like 250.00 a mirror not including install. I'm just waiting for the project completion and when the electrics are hooked up everything works.

[enviri]

yeah the only wiring that the xd clip hooks up to in the yaris is the motor to move the actual mirror. everything else is a custom wiring job. i'll get to it once this goddamn rain stops...NEXT WEEK.

[Klink10]

Any progress reports?

[enviri]

im trying to find a day to meet up with ctscott to help out with the install. it seems that there is a set of wires thats not being used at all in our cars for side mirror heating!

[Klink10]

Interesting, if anyone can figure it out CT can.

[CTScott]

Interesting, if anyone can figure it out CT can.

I installed LED turn signal mirrors (the type where an arrow appears on the mirror glass) on my 09. I used the extra wires (for the 09+ mirror heaters {that we don't get}) that run from the kick panel to the mirror connector in the door to make the install very quick and easy.

[JumpmanYaris]

Maybe i missed it but where did you get them @ ?

[CTScott]

Maybe i missed it but where did you get them @ ?

From Garm. He imported a set to test, but it turned out that the plastic frame did not fit the USDM mirror assembly, so I transferred the glass with the LED array over.

Sorry Scott I should have quoted him I was asking the OP where did he get em from

I remember when Garm got em and you saying u had to do all that hehehe

[Klink10]

That is great CT. When Enviri brings his project to you or you get together keep notes on all the details to make his project work. I would so like to do that with the mirrors from the Scion.

[WeeYari]

It's in post#1. A junkyard.

the install was so intense, it made ctscott shed blood lol

really?? nothing is impossible for that man, how was it intense?

[CTScott]

Still Enviri. He swung by my house today and we wired up the turn signals. He had the remote control mirrors working, since they were pinned the same as the Yaris, but needed a hand getting the turn signals wired.

[CTScott]

really?? nothing is impossible for that man, how was it intense?

Rearranging some stubborn pins, I managed to have my pin extraction tool snap and jab about 1/4" deep into my finger tip. I was dripping blood everywhere. I had to make a compression bandage with electrical tape and paper towel to get it to stop.

good god

dont u love it when stuff like that always happens.... at least to me anyways

[Klink10]

Be sure to include photos with blood in your write up and for my reference can it be done without that particular tool....lol?

[CTScott]

Be sure to include photos with blood in your write up and for my reference can it be done without that particular tool....lol?

I think bloodletting will be part of the official DIY. On 09+ cars, one can save time (and donate blood) by using two extra wires in the mirror harness. On 08 and older cars a pair of wires will have to be run from the mirror connector through the flexible rubber boot that brings the wires into the door.

So, in the 08- world, pin removal is not necessary. In the 09+ world, the two extra pins have to be reversed. This can either be done by popping and swapping the two pins, or by simply snipping and reconnecting the two wires.

We did the drivers side door on his car with the pin swap method, and then I broke my pin extraction tool on the passenger side door, so we just did the snip and flip on that side.

[Klink10]

Thanks CT. I think my biggest issue for the moment is trying to understand what from the original assembly must be intact to mate to the Yaris. In this case an 07 HB. I see some for sale off a 10 model XD but I can't be sure if the plastic connectors are damaged. What I see is the single connector I guess to make the mirrors function remotely but not any other wires to make them work ie: with power on and off. I guess I am asking are there more wires in there that I'm not seeing. Or maybe I should just wait for the write up. Might miss the deal though....ah well. Anyway, thanks again for your efforts.

Door Connections:

There is a single 5-wire connector on both the Yaris and xD/xB mirrors. Three wires are used for the mirror movement and the other two are for the turn signal. On the Yaris mirrors, that connector only wires in 3 positions.

The picture below is of the Scion mirror connector. The red black and white wires are the motion wires (and they directly mate to the wires with the same functions {but different colors} on the Yaris).

The blue (ground) and yellow (+12 V) are the turn signal wires. Because the indicator is an LED, the polarity is important (i.e. they won't light if you reverse them). On the 06-08 Yaris, the connector on the door has no wires in the positions of the blue and yellow, so you must connect a wire to each and run it through the door, through the rubber boot, and into the car under the kick panel. You have to two wires, since the sheet metal of the door is actually not grounded to the rest of the chassis.

42241


On the 09+ Yaris, there is a violet wire in the position of the blue mirror wire and a white/black stripe wire in the position of the yellow wire. These wires run through the door to the kick panel connector, and then dead-end at a junction connector way up under the dash. Since they save the hassle of running the two wires through the door, it is worth while to use them. The two wires have to be reversed at the connector though, since the white/black stripe wire is grounded at the kick panel.

In this picture of an xD mirror plugged into the connector on a 2010 the yellow wire (+12 to the LED) is connected to the white/black stripe wire (chassis ground). You can flip the blue and yellow wires by popping the pins or by simply cutting the wires and reconnecting them to the opposite wire (as shown in the second picture below):

42243

42242


Kick Panel Connections:

Access the kick panel by simply pulling up the door skid plate and then pulling the kick panel cover straight back.

09+:

Connect a wire to the violet wire shown below on the drivers side (note that there are two violet wires on that connector, so insure that you are on the correct one). Run the wire up to the under dash fuse panel area.
42244

Connect a wire to the violet wire shown below on the passenger side (note that the passenger side connector only has one violet wire). Run the wire under the dash across to the under dash fuse panel.
42245

On the 09+ the ground connection is already complete with the connection of the blue wire to the white/black stripe wire.


06-08:

Run your door wires to the kick panel area. Connect the wire that is connected to the mirror's blue wire on either side to the 10mm ground bolt in the kick panel using a 1/4" ring terminal. Run the other wire on either side to under dash fuse panel.


Fuse panel Connections (all years):

Connect the left side wire to the light green wire in connector 4B-14.

Connect the right side wire to the dark green wire in connector 4B-31.

hey guys im thinking of getting one on ebay... can anyone post one here a step by step of how to do this pls?? im new to this... i got an 09 hb

Well as soon as I find a cheap set I'll help you out. Been helped so far with alot of questions answered by CT and Enviri but will try and do a step by step with pics.

[enviri]

did you get that one on ebay for like 65 bucks?

Not yet. I hope to have a pair in a week.

nice! you'll be the second person to do it :P

updated with second gen TC side mirrors fitting

[CTScott]

Nice. I bought one (the passenger side) for $20, but haven't found the other side yet for a reasonable price.

[Klink10]

Yea....I paid to much but far less than new from the dealer.

[enviri]

if its around 100 bucks for both, in my eyes its justified.

[Klink10]

It's to bad the pics for the door card tutorial aren't there anymore. I could have used those.

[enviri]

its pretty simple. if you have manual windows, that's the hard part. getting something behind the roller and pop that stupid pin out..other than that just pull hard from the bottom.

[Klink10]

No, I'm like you in that everything is power.

[enviri]

oh, then its much much easier! heres another insert removal diy. just ignore the winding windows part, everything else is the same. except you have a harness to unplug.
