can the outer housing from JDM folding mirrors (with turn signals) be swapped for our North American outer housing?
ie: can I remove my white, outer housing and put it in place of where the turn-signal outer was?
I've found these mirrors (folding???? with turn signals) but I'd like to use my white outer covers with them
anyone know?

Swapped a pair of Scion XD mirrors with the signal for my 07 ones. As I recall the outer cover will not swap on its own. The scion mirrors do fold but are not power fold.

There is a power folding set if you go JDM. I think it'd probably be easier if you were to re-paint the ones that came with, rather than modifying the ones you have.

Those are not a factory Toyota Yaris mirror.
100% aftermarket. JDM :iono:
This I know due to the last time I was in Bangkok Thailand I purchased a set for my 2008 H/B from the Toyota dealership in Bangkok with the installed turn signals without auto folding.
I hope you can get them working and please post some pics so we can see how they look. :thumbsup:

there are two versions of side mirror turn signals in thailand--one auto folding and one that's not.
J and E trim levels don't have it (but still powered mirrors) while G and TRD Sportivo trim levels do.
i'll post pics of mine as soon as i complete the folding mirrors project. i'm still in the process of figuring out how hard it will be to route wire through the rubber on the doors to the car frame. (as i havent taken my door sidings apart yet)

It is actually fairly easy to get a wire though the rubber boot. Pull off the kick panel by your feet (inside the car) and pop the boot off of the car frame. Now, you can shove the wire out the hole, just above the connectors under the kick panel and then feed them into the open end of the boot. With the boot pulled out of the car frame you don't have to fight to get the wire to make the bend, as you can hold the boot straight and easily feed the wire though the boot, into the door.

yay, thanks ctscott! My friend is still a long way from coming here (she's still in California for the next 3 months or so), that's why i haven't gotten the harness from you.
What i did was buy 18 gauge wires (per kilo instead of per foot), and multipin connectors (OEM, used and in pairs, male/female) from the junkyard to substitute for the OEM ones. i'm thinking of getting just aftermarket connectors (below) as the oem ones' hard plastic may cause some clunking noise on the doors.

I'll post pics when I'm done this Saturday (fingers crossed).

I used some mechanics wire with the new wire taped to it.
Grease the end going in first and work it thru the boot into the door.
Gently pull your wire thru.

yes, scott is right, the retract is a function of the mirrors, unlike the power retract mirrors of old that sent the power through a relay. The ones from the philippines have a 10pin socket for the mirrors unlike the jdm ones (RHD though) that have a 5- and 2-pin combo.

do they have the folding mirrors for the 2012 yaris ?
Also, for these turn signals are they easy to install ?

I have no idea TBH, let alone we dont have the same yaris anymore after this model (mine).
Re ease of install, you actually can tap from the front signals as how they are originally wired. This way you can get 2 pairs of equal length wires to run from the door, through the fenders and then to the engine bay/wires going to the headlight.
If you want to be anal about it (cleaner install, like how i did it), you can ask scott or look around where your turn signals +12V are in the Junction Box.

icic, thanks :)
Scott, do you think these will fit ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/YARIS-2012-L...item19d5c8ed96
Also, is the wiring fairly easy ? just tap it into turn signal ?
Thanks

i have noticed that regardless of the yaris design (yours/japan/euro or the asian/philippines/thailand), it's still the same mirror assembly design. we have power folding here for the top grade as well as turn signal repeaters on them, (1.5 G).
i'm thinking rather than use rhd mirrors, you can also use philippine versions as we (us/canada and us) drive on the correct side of the road. LOL. Thai DM and JDM have those too, but they are RHD. Im not sure if that's going to matter since you're going to transfer the mirror base to yours anyway.

so the JDM sedan mirrors are the same as USDM/Canadian version ?
Any way to order a cheap set from asia ?
Thanks

the jdm is the same as USDM/Canadian version insofar as the body style of the entire car goes. insofar as the mirror assembly goes, they seem to all look the same, though i've looked carefully at the pictures of the yaris/yaris sedan/xd over there and it seems that the mirrors have a different pattern at the back, insofar as the clips go. even your xd ones are different from your yaris.
which means that the white plastic part of the motor also have a different pattern, and if youll need to replace your mirrors someday, you may have to source out from a country that has a similar clip pattern, or swap out the white plastic part of the motor that attaches to the mirror glass.
cheap from asia? dunno, but definitely not cheap from japan. soon probably and most likely from thailand. if you want real cheap, you'll have to wait for 2-3 years and it will be most likely from the philippines. LOL
here you go: our mirror (glass) and motor clips are farther apart than yours over there, with some clip locations that we don't have. we only have the 2 hooks and 2 clips--while you have 2 hooks and 4 clips.
Bam!

that's also a comparison between mirrors between scion xd and yaris mirror clips. they are in different locations too. the top one i believe to be yaris, and the bottom, xd. the hooks are in different locations.

Edited my post quoting yours but i added Philippines' mirror for comparison and reference by the community.

Do you have a diagram of the instalation of the jdm mirrors? Mine is a 5 pin 2 pin and I need help in how it close again with the switch.
jcboy
11-28-2014, 03:09 PM
the 2 pin is definitely the turn signal. that's interchangeable unless it's aftermarket or uses LED.
the 5-pin one's PINs#4 and 5 are for the retract. Pins 4 and 5 are the bottom ones at the connector (the top being the ones closest to the latch). these 2 are also "almost" interchangeable, since the switches function is to put the +12V to either wire depending on whether retracting or opening the mirrors.
HTH.

Wow very nice guys, I would like the same mirrors with turn signal for my car. Seeing that Iam in south africa I would like to know where can I find those mirrors, I dnt want those cheap quality ones that don't fit properly and fade. If I could get those from a scionxd it would be great. Iam near Lesotho would I find a scion there or do I need to order from the US. I also saw here in my country a yaris sedan with side mirror turn signals the model could be upto 2012. Guys any info will be much appreciated
