That actually does sound like a "dik" statement. if you know how to wire them then why not just help the poor guy instead of giving "hints"?
and you dont need to tap the SECU at all, although it is an option. i have these installed over a year now. wired them myself, puddles come on when any door opens. siganals are functional as well as full power mirror and fold.
the downside is i never was able to find any write-up on them and never did one myself so i wouldnt know where to start without ripping into my doors. point is its do-able without tapping the SECU unless you want to spend the time. and have a clue what you are looking at!
Actually if memory serves the blinkers are tapped at the heads. power for the fold is tapped from front cig lighter. and puddles tapped at the door light located on the door panel. about a 4 hour job if that. hardest part is fishing the extra wires for fold and puddles through the door to the cabin/engine bay.

 

here we go...

sure it's doable without going to the SECU. My point is instead of running wires all over your car, wouldnt it be easier to run them to central spot? Running stuff to the cigarette lighter, sure you can do that, but you have so many other more "correct" options than that.

You really ran the blinkers all the way up to the headlights? wow... Wouldn't you think the signal cables are somewhere IN the car? Did you check in the steering column or anything?

I already gave enough info in the other post, if you dont learn and stuff is always given to you, how are you going to get any smarter?

 

Instead of arguing, why not actually help people out? Don't want to waste countless keystrokes explaining? You're doing that already.

 

I understand where vastmax is coming from, many people ask for step by step instructions rather than searching the topic and learning themselves. However, this topic is not something as commonly discussed or easy DIY like "how do I install an intake, change brake pad, retrofit my headlights...".

Most casual modders like me know what an FSM is, but don't know technical details to completely understand it (like the pic I posted on page 2, it's all Greek to me). Therefore in the interest of contributing to the community I would appreciate it if anyone would simply post the pins to tap in the SECU.

(I personally want the wire for the dome light so I may add a relay to it and when I unlock it'll turn on my angel eyes and possible LED puddle lights.)

 

What I did on mine was this: It's not ghetto but it works.

Puddle lights...I just ran the ground and positive wire straight to the puddle light. Running it to the Door lights will not do anything but turn on when your doors are open. This won't give you the puddle light effect when you unlock your doors. KEY: you must run BOTH + and - wires

 

Exactly, which is why I need the dome light wire so the puddle lights turn on and off with it, rather than when I open the doors. Not too worried about finding a place for the - wire, but that + trigger I need is essential.

 

this is what i meant by my original post. the dome light uses a switch ground. in other words, it has a constant 12v, the ground wire is what switches it on and off. that's why you need to run both positive and negative.

 

That's what I meant, just run both wires UP to the dome light. it'll get the job done and is not very hard to run at all. Run it up the side pillars, then over by the dome light. Around the sunroof to the dome light.

 

Is there a way to wire it so that when you lock the car the mirrors fold up, and fold out when you unlock the car? Or do they already do that automatically?

Mod is awesome, but imagine remote control mirrors! How frickin' cool - but pointless - but really cool would that be!!??

 

Wow....those look pretty sweet!

 

for those of you who still cant figure this out, I made something just for you:

eBay and they won't your car

 

Sorry to bring this tread up from the past but Im seriously considering picking up a pair of these and have a few questions. I emailed the seller speedline from ebay a few days ago and never heard back. Will this work for a 04 Infiniti I35. Also I don't have heated mirrors now, how will the heated mirrors work for the 10 dollar option. And about the power folding module option, do I need this to have the mirrors fold in and out or is this just for the stock alarm. I have an viper aftermarket alarm that I am using. I thought the mirrors were already power folded. Here is the auction up right now if anyone wants to check it out, and thanks in advance. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-01...m=190576272640

 

THey not replying? They owe me money for writing guide and review on their mirrors, but I never got reply about it. So let me know if they will reply to you, I am wondering if they ignoring my messages or they just don't read any messages for now

Anyway, here is my guide, but its for manual folding version, it might help you anyway
http://bestpcreviews.com/car/210-the...ion-guide.html

 

Ill be selling my genuine TDM lights as soon as I find a stock majestic blue passenger mirror. Hit me up if anyone wants them.

 

Little update on the company that sells those mirrors, they promised to send me $80 after I published my review of their mirrors. Well, I published and they never replied to my e-mails. I messaged them from another e-mail pretending that I wanted to buy some stuff and they replied.

They ignore me and don't want to keep their promise, so if you guys gonna buy products from them, I highly doubt they will work with you if you receive defective item or any other customer related problems.

 

Okay, they finally replied like a month later, makes me a little nervous to order from them. They told me that the mirrors will fold in only when I press the switch inside the car. So does that mean everyone on here got the power folding mirror module to make it fold in when you turn on and off the car, or is there another way to wire this up so I won't need it.

 

Nice!

 

I got in touch with them through another email. They said that their email blocked my messages thinking it was spam. They refunded me $80 as promised, so disregard my last post I guess.

 

Okay so when you add it up, it comes out to 380 shipped, is that how much you guys paid, damn that's a lot.
240 mirror
50 paint
45 auto folding module
10 Heated Mirror
35 Shipping

 

Yeah, I got manual folding mirrors, they are $60 cheaper
and of course since I didn't need auto folding module, it was $45 cheaper too, oh and they were not heated

So my total was I think like $275

 

alright cool, just wanted to make sure the price was about right. So you got it painted through them, how did the paint job come out. Did the paint match? The only reason im getting these mirrors are for the folding feature.

 

ok, I got the mirrors installed but I am having some issues. I got the turn signal and puddle lights led's hooked up and got the power folding to work. When I tried hooking up the heated mirrors to the rear defrost wire on the SECU, I burned something out, I smelled it. The fuses are good so I am praying it's the rear defogger relay. I gotta check tomorrow. Guess I gotta hook the heated mirrors up with a relay. If anybody could help guide me, I would appreciate it. Also I think they switched the mirrors around. The mirrors look weird, the one with the line in it (guess for the blindspot) is on the passenger side and the driver side mirror has the objects further away. I wonder if I could pop them out from the housing and swap them, or should it be that way.

 

Don't know about the heater problem, but both of my mirrors have the line for blindspot, so I think both of them should be the same.

 

Sorry to bump a thread a couple months old, but just wanted to thank you for your awesome guide and website. A lot of cool reads on there

 

Sure man,
if you'll have any questions, feel free to ask
