My Budget-ass 92' Civic DX 4dr didn't come with a passenger side mirror, so i got some generic ones with the turn signals for cheap.

2 Questions.

they are Manual mirros (Manual by just pressing the glass with your hand) and not manual like the driver side one which has the movement joystick thing. I don't care how the mirrors get moved, but after i replace the driver side mirror the Plate that the joystick comes out of is going to have a hole in it, anyone know what I'm talking about? and where i can buy a black plastic triangle plate for the inside back of the mirror (like the one thats on the passenger side Without the hole in it for the mirror-joystick?

and 2 any tips on how to wire the Turn signals to the mirrors?
I could just run really long wire from the signals in the bumper but that seems very inefficient and annoying.

these are the mirrors i got. they have 3 wires and the tiny peice of paper that came with them says

"White connect to signal Lamp [+]....Blue connect to Packing lamp (Bumper lamp) [+]........Black connect to Ground [-]"

now I know this is poorly translated japanese, but what is a packing lamp? any tips on where to hookup just the signal wires would be much appreciated.

My Ugly Side Mirrors

 

just goto hondaautomotiveparts.com and find the cover for powered side view mirros.. for the inside cover i mean..

 

Thanks!.......


just visited the site and can't find them anywhere.

got the link?

 

hmm let me see... you cant link to it on there because the way its setup.. so let me look and if i find them i'll give you step by step instructions.. cool? ok one sec

 

ok it was on the site, in the illustration but no reference to it in the product number list.. what you have to do is goto the contact us icon on the bottom of the page and call their 1-800 number and just ask them about it... the should be cheaper then going to a local dealer.. or not...

 

i accidently drilled holes in mine, i check an online site...$15 for each triangle.

im waiting to get off my ass and grab some bondo and spray paint. $30 for a pair....yea right.

 

I beleive it should be parking lamp. But I think you might get away with just hooking up the white and black wires. I think if you connect the blue wire, the lights on the mirrors will stay on, and then blink when you throw the signal. But I dunno, only mirrors I've ever owned were M3-style sans the blinker.
