The hard part was getting a good connection to the mirror wires, had to unseat the pins from the tiny socket and manually wire them. as long as you follow the color codes and get a switch harness off ebay that still has the wires, its pretty simple. 1st set of mirrors from

I have the 3d printed file to adapt so i can put anything into that clock area. Used black petg.

 

Question, can you also press to move them or will that break them?

 

gently yes, they do move.

 

also, had these on the old mirrors but they really increase visibility since the tacoma front turns are so low on the bumper.

follow up, the drivers mirror was shaking but i didnt have the bolts tight enough. so far they are working great.

 

Nice job.

 

1 more follow up, drivers side does wobble a little at high speeds. not enough for me to replace it yet though.

 

I had an after market TYC mirror on my passenger side for a few weeks, and I replaced it with a used OEM one because the shaking was too bad. It went away with OEM.

I also did this conversion, manual to all power windows locks and mirrors, but I used the OEM door harnesses up to the kick panels. From there I made my own harness and control system to drive everything.

I swapped in the 2001-2004 door panels as well, they’re a lot more ergonomic and durable than the 1995-2000 ones.
