how come nobody use's pics from my car? Danny copied me once i got those!!!


Anyhow, its easy but takes time when installing them. The stock mirror covers come off pretty easy, all you need is a thin flat head screw driver. The cover pops right off, on the back of the cover there are 3 prongs. So when you put the cover on, you'd have to put the bottom part on, then snap the top part, you can use that as a guide on how to take them off. (reverse it)

As for installing the new mirror covers, i took apart my entire mirror assembly. You can either fish the wires through the base of the mirror, or drill a small hole and fish the wires that way. Then you can take apart the door panel and fish the wire through the stock wire loom (for your power mirrors etc) and then hook them up to whatever you want.

hope this helps

K Pazzo, with all of your extensive entrepreneur-style mods and manual of how-to's i'm surprised to see you posting a question rather than an answer! Let us have a look-see at the end, if you aren't currently working on a write-up!
