Here's a tutorial I made for the members who retro fitted the 09 mirrors in their cars and want to change the mirror blinkers from orange to white or whatever color they want.

Here's Your basic 09 mirror. From here you take a small (tiny) flat head screw driver and take off the faceplate. There is just clips, no screws holding it in.



Once the plate is off it'll look like this:



From Here your going to pull the mirror off towards you. There is clips on here as well but if you pull from the bottom and move up u'll be fine.


Once the mirror is off. You'll see the wires attached to the mirrors (if your mirrors come heated) if not they'll be no wires here.

 

This is the screw you need to loosen. This is what's holding the blinker on.






This is the harness for the lights. Just plug this out and your blinker will be disconnected from the mirror.




Now this is the same idea as the headlights. I put my oven at 220 degree's and once it reached that temp. you SHUT IT OFF. Then you can put the blinker in there for about 3-10 minutes. (I kept checking mine)


Once the glue/silicon warms up you can separate the blinker with your hands.

once apart you can see the four leds. These are PLCC-4 Leds. They are hard to re-solder to the board because of the angle but obviously possible. lol

 

good luck to all members who tried. i didn't get a chance to install my mirrors yet but will post pix with the lights when I do.

 

awesome

 

All I can say is "why"? Honestly, what difference does it make? I just want to know, I'm not cutting.

 

Maxgal. Its a guy thing (mostly).

If something can be.... changed, improved, messed up, fixed, broken, taken apart, re-assembled, tweaked, modified, you will find a guy who will try.

I think it's genetic....

 

lol. I guess that explains it. I like my gold blinkers. I'm just psyched there are some on my mirrors.

 

In for pics.

 

Installed correct?

Nice write-up though.

 

didnt install them yet... i don't have the time with school and work... once i get some time off i'm going to get them painted and installed

 

Oooo, I wanna see.

 

LOL, I thought I was the only person that felt that way about them. I always associated them with upscale cars, and here I am with them on my car now! But I can understand wanting to change them out because the LEDs in there aren't all that bright. I remember I was sitting at a light getting ready to make a left turn, and so was another Altima on the opposite side facing me, and I could barely see them. I was like "Thats what they look like!!! Thats it!!!" But Its really not that important for me to want to do all what was pictured. I have never been to fond of the whole bake your lights thing. I tend to forget things are in the oven.


And does anyone know if the light is visible to a person that is riding in the lane next to you, but behind you like on TSXs and etc.?

 

Thanks for the share...

 

Hi i wanted to change the blinkers to red do you what type of bulb and where could i get it thanks

 

ImSooFlyy23, think VERY carefully about RED.

In many/most states, having RED or BLUE visible from the front of the vehicle is illegal and if you travel, you are subject to the laws of the states you travel thru.

Um, believe me, you just gotta trust me how I know..... hahahahaha It's NOT worth the ticket you WILL get. You won't be able to talk yourself out of that one....

 

Ohok thanks but what kind blub would it be if I wanted white then

 

Agreed!!

 

Hey just wanted to share a video of my 6 gen with 7 gen mirrors and white blinkers:

Def. a mod I would reccomend!

 

Me too!!

 

Hi i need help on which type blub and where can i get it? i want to change it white

 

White makes it look more clean as far as the brightness you have to get the correct LED style to give you maxima brightness. Also if you changed all you're other lights to LED then it just doesn't match, that's why we change it, getting a car is like a homework project you just want to have the best one A++

 

Where can i get the white blinkers for the 09 max and what kind a blub is it

 

They're PLCC-4 LEDs and they have to be soldered in.

 

thanks do you know where i can buy them
