El Cheapo Heated Mirrors

jesus

 

Amen

 

Then why don't you PM him/them instead of complaining publicly on this thread that you can't follow simple pictures?

 

Good for you. I only hope for your sake the two people using the Sienna mirrors have amazing psychic powers and can figure out wtf your problem is when one or both of them do a write up so you're not in the same damn situation whining that you can't figure it out.

I have an entire thread about mods and tutorials to help people out and I was willing to help you figure this out had you simply explain what was confusing you. That would've help other people explain their writeups better as well, not just for you. But since you've chosen to throw insults and act like my 2 year old then fine. You're right. It's over and you'll never get any help from me. You'll likely not get help from anyone else either if you can't explain in a mature manner what you need help with.

 

I thought you were done with this conversation? Insulting a respected member such as piercedtiger won't get you many friends around here man. If you wern't so ****ing blind you would notice at the top of your screen a Mods & Tutorials section, within this section lies a vast expanse of knowledge, many of those tutorials were written by the member you are insulting. Try searching and reading the WHOLE post. The Sienna mirrors change little except skipping a step. The wiring and assembly are the same as the instructions in the OP. There are many good people here that will bend over backwards to help you, show some respect where it is due.

 

Amen!!!!!!!!

 

Alright folks, I received my 04-08 Sienna Mirrors off ebay.





For whatever reason, I find it odd that the passenger side elementis so small. The driver side is nice and large. Doesnt come with wires or connectors. For me, they come out to almost $86 shipped on Ebay.



Went down and ordered my Highlander switch and bulb. Bulb showed up in a couple of days. Switch is on backorder. They are telling me a week to 2. Switch is $79.xx at my dealer and $5.xx for bulb. With tax, it was about $94 OTD.
I noticed on my local dealer's website, they have a 10% off parts coupon. Going to take that in and see if they will credit me when I pick up the switch.



Hopefully when I get my switch, I have a detailed tutorial for every1 with this combo. Will have all parts and how to wire.
I'm going to need help with that part myself, but will ask for help and simplify it all in 1 post.

 

fibertop, if you can't take a couple small jokes, then you don't belong in this forum. Simple as that. Now if everyone would kindly stfu and get back on topic, maybe I could filter through and understand what WATaco is up to here. Act your age and put this shit behind you. Nothing more about it.

 

I just got mine too off ebay and they were $49 each = $96. I must be doing something wrong if you got it for $86. I'm going to search for female connectors for those little male ones on the Burco's, today. Shawnd2 got some at Radio Shack and Carquest and used the one's from Carquest. Let us know where you find them and thanks for the effort on the write up in advance.

 

WATacoRider and george3, what ebay seller are you buying these from? i've searched ebay ten thousand different ways and come up with almost nothing. i only found one passenger side heated mirror and the seller wanted $50 with free shipping.

 

Holy crap $96... I still don't see the advantage to the Sienna mirrors, my grip heaters from a motorcycle shop cost me $28 and took about an hour to install both sides. I guess if you've got the money. How are those going to fit in the bracket that goes into the mirror on the truck?

 

The main advantage in my eyes is you get a much larger heating element. Also nice to have a backup mirror I guess.

I got the mirrors cheaper, because I did the bing cashback. They are originally $49.99.
But with the Bing Cashback, you currently get 8% back.

Dont feel like getting into the details, but here's a link.

It actually works, at least with ebay.

 

Hubcapsplus is the seller. They were $49 each total $98 shipping included. The drivers side is completely covered the passenger side not so. They look factory. I figured less hassel and maybe I'm not as talented as the guys that do it with motor cycle grips in a couple of hours. Well there's no maybe about it. I wouldn't attempt any of this stuff without guidance from someone on TW who's done it B 4.

 

Speaking of that, we have snow on the ground up here now...

 

We have some left from the rain/slush/6" snow Wed. I think it was Wed.

 

Here is some more. Thanks. Too much I guess, $49 each, but they look factory and there is no worry about the mess of getting the mastic off the old one. These have the disc's to stick them on with, as you know. In the post a x glass guy said to use Palmer mastic and that would have been $17 online, so I didn't have to go for that. The burco heating grids alone were $24, so I figured less work, better results. Here is link I went with, only one I could find but shipping included and no sales tax. Is it obvious where to put the sticky disc's ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-08...item53de677fc8

 

It's been so cold that stuff never went away for us.

 

Here is the direct link http://www.wheelskin.com/replacement-mirror-glass.html if you can't find it just call them.

 

20 this AM but 57 by Mon.

 

We got 47" (4ft) of snow over the last few days just north of us.
