It’s going to be quite difficult due to the fact that you don’t already have power mirrors. If you did, it’d simply be a case of running 2 new wires to each mirror. Try seacrhing for help on [zilvia.net](http://zilvia.net), I think I read something about that a while ago, but when I look now it shows me nothing useful. Unless you have lots of time and like electrical work, I wouldn’t even bother. People only go “ooohhh ahhh” the first time you show them, and our parking stalls aren’t as small as they are in Japan lol. ---

would it be worth it to swap wiring harness? ---

Probably not, depends on how bad you want folding mirrors lol. If I get some time I’ll do a write up on my install, but I doubt it will be of any use to you. Sorry bud. ---

all you have to do is give a switch constant power and then run your mirrors to it!! If you need me to drew you a wire diagram I can do it for you. Its not that hard. The only hard part is where to put your switch. I do have a JDM mirror switch if you need it. You will have to give it power and ground and then just hook the mirror wires up to it. That might just be your best bet! ---

That might just be your best bet! I also said the same thing to him previous to the thread being opened. Give a try, never hurts anyways 🙂 ---

One word of warning…Look atthe USDM mirrors and look at the JDM one, they are different the JDM one will be oriented toward the USDM passenger side. Trust me have a close look. ---

Yeah the jdm mirrors have different reflective properties, they give you a headache if you look in them too long! ---

Are you able to just take the guts out of the mirrors and swap them? Then mount our current glass to the new internals or is that even possible? That way you could have the North American glass, JDM power jobby and the shell of the mirror the same colour as your paint without adding mismatched mirrors. If so that would remove most of the headaches. Just not too sure how easy they come apart.
