5th gen mirrors installed + wiring diagram Options

[madmods]

Put some 5th gen power mirrors on. I couldn't get the stock bolts to fit, so I pulled out the tap & die kit and tapped the mirrors to fit the stock bolts.Only 2 of the holes line up, so I just marked and drilled a hole in the plate for the 3rd bolt. Well heres the wiring pattern, since someone might one day need it, if they do a search.

White mirror wire goes to black wire from your harness
Red mirror wire goes to brown wire from your harness
black mirror wire goes to red wire from your harness

Damn mine is like 4'5" too short.. I went to the store and bought some wire to soder (sp) tonight

[ILuvMyCelica95]

madmods- I assume you had to paint them white. Did you do it yourself or did you have it done?

[madmods]

I did it myself. You can usually find your car color in already mixed up paint at a car parts place-checkers, auto zone, pep boys

darned imagestation....try right clicking on the pic and then show pic.

sorry for the old thread.

did you shape the mirrors at all to fit, or just bolt them right on?

I used your wiring diagram, and when the electronics go back in, ill let you know if it works

also

[madmods]

No, they actually just bolt on. Easy mod to do and they look better then the stocks.

my friend has a 5th gen and i was gonna trade mirrors with him. will my 6th gen mirrors fit on his 5th gen?

[Driveby]

Thanks for this, got some UK bound from dustin, cheers mate.
Does anyone have the wiring fur the power fold or do you just need the 3 wires as posted above? (my car already has power folding mirrors)

[bseaman_5]

Sorry to bring this from the dead but are there power mirrors and non power 5th gen?? Or can you put the old power part into the 5th gen mirrors?

[Jaws4God]

wiring diagram worked perfect. saved me. Thank you!

Just a FYI to anyone out there doing this mod, be careful when bolting up the mirrors. If you turn them too tight the head of the bold snaps off. I only have the two bolts that line up in mine (Both sides), the third one snapped on me. Totally my own fault but just thought i'd throw it out there...

How well do these 5gen usdm mirrors go on a RHD celica? Cause the angling of the mirrors are made for LHD.

this happens as the threads are different, when i first tried to put mine on this happened to me, my own fault as i tried to force them, then i went to the local hardware store and bought some M5x1" bolts and they went on perfect, good point to make i just thought i would add my solution to the tap and die problem.

also if you wire them up and match the color wires they work but when you mave them they go in the wrong direction, should have read this before doing it i guess lol. thanks guys this helped me loads!
