Converting To Power Mirrors

How hard is it to put power mirrors in my DX? How do I do it?

I'd guess it would be pretty simple. All you'd have to do is find someone with a 93 Hatch Si and take their power mirrors, and harness (switch and wires) and just plug it all in to yours cars. It should be pretty straight forward.

Check junk yards for the parts or do a WTB: in the classifieds.

Best of luck,

Why bother...just added expense and weight...how often do you really adjust your mirrors that is has become that much of a hassle that you need power?????

Happy is right, for the time, effort and money put into the power mirrors, you might as well get some light Vision/Spoon mirrors for you car

It should be just plug and play if you find the parts. If you can find the stuff cheap go for it, but unless you adjust the mirrors a lot why spend the money.

Non-powered M3 mirrors brand new - about 90 bucks
Non-powered M3 mirrors used - about 40 bucks

Yeah... but they probably won't last 2 weeks on your car before someone rips them off

not true...people will just think you own a pair of M3 mirrors And if that's the case they'd just rip off a pair of M3 mirrors just the same
