    People want proof of concept. I think it’s interesting. I mean I get it. I really do. But there are folding mirrors on other vehicles. Here is a video of a 5th Gen 4Runner that has Power Folding Mirrors installed. These mirrors were installed EXACTLY the same way mine were built the first go around with the cutting of the wires and the combination of OEM and Hilux/Fortuner Mirror. I didn’t spend as much as this guy did, but I invested in a project that was important to me and I knew others would be interested in as well.

    The difference now with what I have put together and have released is the following:
    1. Affordable Kit (Total cost is between $275-$600 vs. $775-$1,000 or more)
    2. You get to use your OEM Mirrors 100%
    3. Plug-N-Play for the most Part (Other than losing your Spring & Connection Plate)
    4. Automatically Folds in when you Lock the Truck and Folds out when you Unlock the Truck
    5. Most importantly, it will be available for purchase in the U.S.A. by ME!!
    Here is the video and proof that this mod works, as well as on a 5th Gen 4Runner

    https://youtu.be/kPz0_X0Y78w
    (P.S. If you looked over my How To! thread, I meantioned the following, “I have done a ton of research on this mod both with 4Runners and Tundras and I’m excited to be the one to bring it to the Tacos.”)

    If you want to purchase those other mods, I will install for sure and make it Plug-N-Play for you. I have no problem doing that!! I’m already doing that with some Ditch Lights!

    It’s not going to be one of the 20! Soon there will be Tacoma Install videos posted on this thread like I have previously mentioned not to long ago. Also, when you get this kit, you will have a Tacoma Installation Instruction Guide or a Toyota 4Runner Installation Instruction Guide that will have everything you need.

    Do still need to run power wires from the passenger mirrors to the driver side switch panels?

    We are working out some details with the wiring and hinges. May have found yet again another OEM Hinge.

    No. The wiring is all good! Size doesn’t need to be changed.
