Lukeyboy2k Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Electric folding mirror (drivers side) plug: http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/2332/08061217522qu1.jpg The non-folding (heated) mirror plugs are shorter and fatter (I think they are arranged in two rows as opposed to one). HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Have you guys ever opened the mirror up? I'd like a pic of inside if anyone has a wrecked one lying around (or a broken one someone fancies donating one to me for free and technical research purposes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 That'd be awesome mate I'm trying to develop some aftermarket indicators for the forum (if I can), so a few different views would be good especially so I can see how to open them without destroying them.

MarkR Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 So you just pop the mirror off those clasp things? What did you use to pry it off so you don't break it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
