JDM 6GC FOLDING MIRRORS - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #35327 48 posts Started by JoKeRkId613
THANKS DOGGY! Wooo! Folding mirrors. I'm real excited. I can't wait to figure out the wiring on these bad boys to slap em on the Celi! They came a bit damaged, but that's understandable, considering how many hands this package had to go through to get here. Hehe. Nothing a little crazy glue can't fix. Lol. I found a few topics on how to wire these but they're kinda confusing. When I get started on them, you guys should see me posting a little more often wink.gif . Do you guys think I can swap over the triangle pieces from my stock mirrors to these? Thanks.

Sorry for silly question... you don't have your stock mirrors folding too? confused.gif

No more replicas... This is evolution... This isSS-four:)________[Featured Celica of 6gc.net @ 2010]_________
Nope, America sucks. Lol. I have power mirros but they dont retract like the jdm ones. frown.gif
Folding mirrors are cool but a guy on the GT4OC is making a mod so they are linked to an alarm fob so whenever you set the alarm the mirrors fold in and vice versa smile.gif

If they fold then they are JDM, others only had heated mirrors or UK ones only had heated anyway.

Of course they can fold. But by hand or by the push of a button. Al Mirrors from everywhere on the world are identical except for the fact that JDM mirror can fold with a button.

Then you are a very lucky girl. Maybe the previous owner has installed them. Or it was an option.

I want a button that shoots the mirrors right off the car, so I won't have the "drag" when I am trying to out run the police. It will work with the suspension that will lower the faster I go. biggrin.gif

I call it the "Drop and Pop" manuever, patent pending. wink.gif

^^those are not the same as the "folding" kind...those bottons adjust the position of the mirror itself..not the whole unit. The JDM ones have a botton so you have push it, and the whole thing folds in...we can do that here in the US, but by hand only.

~snap

edit: look at the controls of the JDM ones...it has 3 bottons...yours has 2. If you look at the JDM ones, the top right there is a botton with a pic of a mirror with arrows...that is the botton/ability your lacking wink.gif

Jen, what you have (and what most here have) are just power mirrors as in you can adjsut the angle of the mirrors with the control you showed. They can fold in if you push it with your hand.

The JDM ones will fold, or retract, with a push of the extra button shown in Joe's post.

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...

Yeah yeah I know. I was just confused as to what some of the people on here said. I was just making sure I was right.

That is what mostly confused me. Eh, I guess I get confused too easily.

Yea, I'm rich. JK. Actually, what happened was that I had no idea they manually fold in. Lol. So I bought these. I don't regret it tho, because it's kinda nerdy to go everywhere and fold them in after you get out of your car. With the push of a button, it's real pimp and it gives the car a newer feel. I don't know, that satisfies me. What makes me happy is working on my car and modifying it in anyway possible. Some people would rather save their money, some people like to spend $1000+ on rims, the world is crazy man, lol, get used to it.
well yeah true i mean i paid 850 for headlights so yeah i know what cha mean. but what we refuse to understand is when we sell our cars......they are worth nothing we will never get what we put into them. unless of course u put every thing on the car back to brand new status. and that would be very exspensive. but hey its fun till u either wreck it or go to sell it. then its a slap in the face.

From what I've experienced, I've only seen those folding mirrors on Lexus'.... how pimp is that if I have one on a Toyota!

lol, yea i see where ure coming from. i mean, for me, its my hobby. i dont plan on selling my celica anytime soon. im real attached. i know all about car values and things, so thats y, while i have it, i try to keep it clean. if i mod anything, it has to match with everything else. my car is silver and all the lights inside are blue. my intakes couplings are blue. my 7th gen celica seats are blue/black. so it all matches. and if its not that, im adding options to the car that it didnt come with. such as the power folding mirrors. and anything i add to the car is usually because i sold the old part, so that i dont lose money. for example, my 6gen seats, i sold them for about the same price i paid for the 7th gen seats. i try to be smart about it because of that same reason you stated. its good to know we're on the same page.
