With slight modification, will fit the 04-08

According to the original poster, you have to shave the trangle flat part a little that attach to the window frame and redrill the mounting holes because the 09 bolts are bigger. Other than that, every function should work except you'll have to wire them into the blinkers.

Got mine in today also, mint mirrors in Nissan Boxes with soft bags housing them. What a steal () I mean deal, even if I have to have them shaved and installed by someone else. I'm going to take one of the OEM mirrors off, using cardboard I will make a template then affix it to the backs of the new 09 mirrors so I know exactly where to shave them at and align the holes. Wiring will be a different subject but with all the smart minds here, we'll figure it out!!!

I think "steal" is the right word. These won't be popping up again anytime soon at this price. I asked the seller how they came across these and they said "I got them from a friend in the business, and they had a couple minor scratches that I repaired. I agree that these are great items, but I only have a limited quantity. Thanks for your interest." mine look mint, fair enough for me!!!

There's still one set left!! I looked them up on courtesy parts and as far as I can tell they sell for $265 each...

What's up everyone. I will put more detailed pics this weekend from the inside and better close-ups of the mirrors. As for the wiring, I haven't started it yet because the mirrors has more features than I expected, If any have any suggestions on the wiring feel free to share.

Wiring should be very straight forward. Id get wiring diagrams of both vehicles and see what color wires are in the mirror, and what color wires are on your car. Splice them together using solder, rather than butt connectors.

Nice modification. Would these still fold with the power folding option? I think only the base is folding the mirror so I don't see why these wouldn't.

Hopefully everything is easy to hook up, heat, folding and quick wire of the blinkers!

I am probably going to mount some kind of LED to the bottom of the mirror as a courtesy light as well...

What's up everyone. I started on the wiring, I took the old harness from the 6th gen and spliced it the new one. My tilt function up/down work but not the left/right? I guess I did something wrong. Anyway the weather here in Little Rock is pretty bad I will try to finish the wiring tomorrow and post pics.
