as the title really,

i got hold of a pair of great condition power fold, heated auto chromatic door mirrors last week,

so at the weekend i set about fitting them,

i already had the chromatic rear view mirror, and as such the wiring is already fitted to the doors where the mirror plug in

while removing my existing mirrors ( power fold ) i noticed my drivers one was already wired for chromatic function, but not the passenger one, however , the mirror in the drivers side was a standard heated unit , tho with a convex section on the outside

a chromatic mirror has three terminals on the back , with a common return for the heater and chromatic function......

anywho, i replaced both units for new ones and put them all together

to do the job the whole door card has to come off, the black triangle trim and then undo the mirror with one torx bolt to hold it , the mirror uses a ten pin multi-plug right by the fixing

before i put it all back together i tested the units, this is done by simply placing your finger over the photo cell on the back of the rear view mirror, no need for torches or any such like , the unit detects the light difference and turns all the mirrors blue

with everything working i put all the door cards back on etc

my existing passenger mirror was a little noisy when power folding , and also had some scrapes to the outer edge, nothing bad, but now i have a perfect unit on there,

i also went to the trouble of putting some spray white grease into the workings, they seemed much happier with that

Good job!!
