[hondaEK4]

SOO, this is something i liked but had no clue if this eBay one would look just the same. The Replica spoon power side mirror when i received it, looked really dodgy but i would have to live with it. so this is what arrived:

I definitely knew i would need help after starring at the wires, on eBay it had bs about PLUG AND PLAY:thumbdwn: This was not the case. I need help on these because the OEM one are Plugs or Harness if you know it as a harness.
I will get a picture of the OEM soon.

Yes, i had exactly the same issue.

End up buying a set of manual carbon fiber mirrors

I think shift performance sell the plug and play one

My best bet, is bring it to a electrician and see if he can wire it up for you.

Oh yeah
FYI, i was told from another member that his electrician can't get it to work.

but i'm sure it can be done
let us know how it goes

hell yeah it could get working, only 3 wires and its only a motor inside to move the mirror around, so not a complex circuit.

but yeah man id be getting a multi metre out, wiring diagram (in a specific car manual) and have a play around..

might have to do some soldering, worst case

[niiCk]

uhhh..just go to my thread..i wrote up how to wire it on my eg..should be the same thing

its only a 7.5A fuse i think...they like 50c each, play around trust me, u will learn a thing of too...anyone can get someone else to do the job for them, but the satisfaction of DIY is well worth it...ask the ebay seller for a diagram they will probs give u some direction

Ohh well i did take the bait, might as well do something with it.

hey mate, i got the exact same ones for my eg. i just snipped the ends off the wires and cut the plug off my harness and soldered it in to the other 3 wires.. at first just trial and error getting them to work properly then soldered and heat shrinked them up. im not sure with EKs but with my EG i just used the rubber seal from the standard mirrors and put it on the new one and they fit perfect.. not bad for like 50 dollars.
