Does anyone have a USDM Camry with JDM power folding mirrors installed?
I have the mirrors, the wiring, controller and switch waiting to be installed. My main problem is that the switch doesn't fit in the cutout on the dash. Is there one for a different model I can use?

Here's where I got them. I'm suprised nobody else saw this! I practically stole them!

arent you gonna have mirror problems?
since the passenger one is on the driver's one and vice versa?

Yeah, the convex glass is on the wrong side. I'll give it a shot though.
I've already got the wiring figured out.

Any chance that the wiring and plugs are the same as ours?

The wiring is completely different. I'm going to use the existing power mirror wiring for the mirror adjustments. The control box mounts in the driver's door. It needs ground and power. From there I need to run 4 wires to the passenger mirror to control the folding, and one to the new mirror switch for the retract button.

That'll be

when it's finished. I wouldn't even care about the mirrors. Or can't you swap the mirrors from the original and put 'em on those?

The mirror glass is a different shape than the USDM ones, so no swapping. That was my first though before I got the mirrors.

Well I'm sure if you really wanna change the mirror you could take the same original mirrors and take 'em to a glass shop and have them reshape them to make it fit.

^^ there were a few members on celicatech (if they carried over from celica.net) who got gt4 folding mirrors on theirs...they needed an additional relay..i'm guessing they would be your better choice for questions...

The wiring is not the problem. The problem is that the switch doesn't fit the USDM dash cutout. I think I'm just gonna dremel and fiberglass the bitch in.
