Turn Signal MIRRORS

[mixmasterlove]

Has anyone seen these? EBAY # 200059937687 ? If so does anyone know if they are plug-in ( I see a PLUG in one of the pix) or if they need to be spliced into the turn signal. I spoke to the guy in Japan before through email, but he doesn't understand the plug-in OR splice ? They are also OEM.

[CXRabbit]

The CX-9 has them. I would imagine they need to be spliced into your turn signals unless the connectors are already there (which I suppose is possible). Wish I had the answer for ya ;)

[mixmasterlove]

I need to find out, because if you notice in the pix, there is a PLUG !!!

I sent an Email to JapanParts and the Email train is below... It sounds like to me you have to splice it into the turn signal directly (i.e. our CX-7s are not prewired)...

Hello:



Yes, the colour is available.

Painting charge will be 35USD.

For the installation, they are identical with the one on your car.

Only the LED turning signal is different.

Installation will be exactly like the one on your car and you just need to wire it up with the signal wire.





Thank you

The color code on the driver's door is 32V.



Please let me know if you have that color and if you do I would like to know a little more about how these are installed on an American CX-7...



Thanks!



Brad

Please provide the colour code.

We need to find out if the paint is available.

If you look at the pix on ebay, there is a plug. I have spoke to the guy on ebay 3x, AND he never answers the plug-in OR splice ?

[BadakVT]

I've been looking at these mirrors for a while since I want to retrofit it on my car as well. The only thing I'm worried about is what if our car's side mirrors don't have the connection to the turn signal relay? I'm saying, if you just wire it to a 12v source, the LED will just light up all the time. We need to find out if one of the wires that goes to our mirrors is indeed a turn signal wire. Anybody know about this?

[CXRabbit]

Why don't you try calling Mazda (http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/contactMazda.action)?

[otnielarencibia]

You most likely will have to run wires to your turn signals in or around the headlights. I honeslty doubt that Mazda would wire something that isn't even an option on our U.S. CX-7.

[mixmasterlove]

Anyone want to do me a favor and try to get a straight answer from this guy on ebay, for item # 200067434077. I want to know if they are plug and play OR if the wires have to be spliced, I've asked him 3 other times and I just can't get a straight answer.

[cmdavis3rd]

Looks like all you get is the cover and the turnsignal assembly. So, I would assume that since the US model does not have this as an option that there would not be a plug to plug it into under the cover.

Also, since this kit is just a cover that clips on, I would dare say that you might be able to remove the cover on your vehicle and see if there is a plug to plug it into.

Anyone know how to remove it?

[mixmasterlove]

I looked uner the mirrors tonight, 3 torque screws (IMPOSSIBLE to get to)and 1 philips head screw.

[Otto]

I figured out how to take off the mirror itself - you just sort of pop it out by pushing at the top of it. Anyway, as far as I could tell and as I expected, there is NO connector for the turn signals.

There are only six wires coming to the mirror - two for heating and two for each of the two power mirror motors. So what'll need to be done is splice into turn signals on each side, lead a wire to the mirror and connect it to the mirror's turn signal lead wires.

Thanks, but I am not gonna SPLICE WIRES.

[Int3grity]

if anyone has done this already can you please post pictures

[self]

the same for me. Just get led covers in mail. And big question is how to install it.
Does anybody did it?

sissy (bike)

Ok then, pay somebody to do it for you (wink)

hehee dealers don't want to install it....

[AWmustang]

Of course not, but there are other options besides the dealer. Any shop that does custom work should be able to handle it no problem.

[Dalton]

Yeah I got them - pics posted under the other thread HERE (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3179141&postcount=7) <- click

And no, there where no plugs or wires, but they do look sweet (eekdance)

[AWmustang]

You say there were no plugs or wires, but they do look sweet.

Does that mean you just linked them to the power mirror power so they are on all the time, or you pulled the wires from somewhere????

They are fully functional :rolleyes:


just linked them to the power mirror power

what where you thinking? (screwy)
I mean do they come on only when you heat the rearwindow or adjust the mirror angle ?!? (rlaugh)

Dont worry, if the mirror has wires for heating and motors then there is room for a turnsignal wires also. :cool:

I was thinking that there was a wire going to the mirrors that was hot all the time? And that you just hooked them up as running lights.

Yeah - (wink)

BTW - only white running lights allowed in EU

[jmhumr]

Dalton:

Could you describe specifically what you did to hook these up? You say they are fully functional. Did you splice into a turn signal wire - and if so, where was that wire at and how hard is it to get to?

I think we'd all appreciate some straightforward details. If you've posted them somewhere, or could post them here, that'd be great. Thanks!

[07LiquidCX7]

^Dalton, Good work. I just bought a CX-7 for the wife and will be installing these very soon. Please get a how-to or DIY up for everyone who is not so inclined to tackle this without one. I don't need it but there are alot of ppl who could benefit. If I get my wife's done anytime soon I'll do it, but until then you're all we've got.

jmhumr, I haven't had time to take apart the car yet as it is only a couple of days old so I can't help with wire colors. But I've done this to other cars and all you have to do is splice a wire from your front turn signals (or rear) to run to the positive wire on the LED's on those mirrors. The hardest part is running the wire into the door.

Thanks man! I'd appreciate any info you can provide if you get the time to dig into that project.

Thats a helluva long way to run some wires... anyone test the steering column to find those same wires??

[TheMAN]

not as long as running shit under the dashboard! :rolleyes:

[07LiquidCX7]

You only really have to run 1 wire. The positive wire from the turn signal. The ground wire can be tapped somewhere in the door, or just ground to metal.

[self]

I'm going to install these this weekend.
It seems like I'll run wires from headlights unless I'll get some info from somebody who has the wiring diagram.

BTW, does anybody have instructions how to install/remove door panels?
