JDM folding mirrors with signals............
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? |

anyone know if turn signal mirrors actuallly fold?

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 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. |

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) |

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). Last edited by jcboy; 09-30-2014 at 02:47 PM. |

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. Norton |

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.

Also, for these turn signals are they easy to install ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/YARIS-2012-L...item19d5c8ed96 |

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. |

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.

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.

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. |
