I just installed a pair of Paradox LED Mirror shell onto my 98 Maxima yesterday. All went smoothly according to the instruction except for one thing. The wire that comes out of the shell, how do you make it go through the side mirror housing and come out of the triangular plate next to the A pillar?

The instruction said to follow the power mirror wire but it is bent around the bottom of the housing through a tube. My side mirrors can fold in toward the glass and I think the tube is a rotating mechanism. The LED power wire can't possibly make a 90 degree turn and push through to the other side. I currently have the wire running outside the mirror and in between the frame and the window glass. The mirror lights works fine but the extra wire hanging outside is ruining the look.

Any advise on how to run the wire?

Thanks,

 

hey let see some pics of those. I seemed at first I liked them but I didn't know what they would look on our maximas so I didn't get it yet.

 

Got any pics? what gauge is the wire?

 

Are there pics of anyone who has done this yet? I see a lot of talk about it (there was some group buy a while back), but no finished pics that I found.

 

POST PICS!!! but for the wiring. take time and do it. Don't ever rush with electrical work, you can easly connect something wrong blow a fuse, it not mess up the alt.

Doing it right is taking time

 

Here are some pictures: Any advice would help.





and the wiring through the window glass:


According to the instruction, the red line is where the wire is suppose to follow through the housing of the mirror. Not likely... Not with all those twists through the interior.


So. Anybody has a clue as to how to run the wires?

 

can you take a shot from farther back so we can see how the chrome shells look in comparison to the rest of the car?

 

There won't be that much bends as long as you take it off of your car and do it. If you try to keep it on the car and install it, it is going to be very difficult.
