    Hey, I just got mine installed: And I found an easier and faster way to hook up the side mirror blinker wires without running wires all the way to the back: Since the wiring that feeds the tail lights it's already ran from underneath the dash to the taillights, all you have to do is remove the bezel that covers all of those wires; Open the drivers door and look down then remove the foot bezel, and boom, you can see the bunch of wires. On my 2016 Altima the wires are Yellow (Left side turn signal), and Brown (for the Right side turn signal). The Ground you can grave it from the chassis if you like. (I,d used a power circuit tester to find the wires).

    Thanks for the video! Looks like the upgrade went really smoothly.. good work! I have the same car, and used this as an instructional vid to replace my side mirror. I don't have any mechanical experience, and was a little anxious about removing the door panel, but the step-by-step instructions helped tremendously.

    I think this is a great instructional video. I wish it could've been more hands on and slower paced for those of us who need a more elaborate step by step process. Dope install. I just wish your mirror blinker lights were matching the colors of your stock blinker lights. I'm sure you'll get that later. You got what you wanted to achieve though. Good work though JPulley!

It's gonna be a little tricky splicing into mine seeing as I've already upgraded all my lights to LED and installed resistors to kill the hyperflash. I'll just have to see how hot the resistors get when two lights are drawing from the same line but LED draws so little anyway. Trial and error.

    Free Free no, but someone who watched my video and tried to install his did have rapid blink. I think it depends on the brand of led lights. It's probably a good ideal to install the LED anti flicker capacitors that way you won't have to worry about it. My mirrors have been installed for a few years now and I've never had any issues.

  • @jpulley

    @jpulley

    6 жыл бұрын

    Since the car does not originally have heated mirrors in the "S" trim level there is no circuitry for it. I ran wires that just pigtails off my turn signal circuits to get the turn signal mirrors. You could not heat a mirror with that power, it's not even constant, it's on then off. If the turn signal is not engaged at the moment its just a dead wire. Also the mirrors I bought do not have heaters in them.

    No, you have to take the whole door panel off to replace the mirror. The plastic piece that covers the screws for the mirror is partially covered by the door panel and cannot be removed without the door panel coming off. If you were lucky enough to get it out without breaking it without removing the door panel you'll never get it back on with the door panel in place.

    Headlines Generator its really not that bad buy I wouldn't recommend this to someine whi has never even installed a car stereo or maybe an amplifier with speakers in yhe trunk. This isn't that difficult but you can damage some important functionality if your car if you are not being careful.

    You need to use a tester like I did. You need to confirm which wire is which before you hook anything up. I had some people reach out to me after they guessed and fried some stuff. They had all kinds of issues with their car after that.

    +Leo Quin not sure just from memory but that sounds about right. If it was 10mm it was really close.
