Guest Nicholas Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Has anyone attempted fitting one from a newer car to a Supra? just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Whats the point? the only rear view mirror id consider fitting would be one with a built in reverse sensor as I have these on my supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay0_7 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Done it on mine, used a mirror out of a Soarer as its a direct swap, wired it in to the lighter circuit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've got the one out of Kelvin's (Kayjay) car, i'll be fitting it shortly. I'll do a 'how to' if you're interested ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay0_7 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'd have to try and get them off my phone, removed the mirror when I sold the Supra Hopefully Gary (mk4gaz) has got round to fitting it to his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It's a good idea, as it stops being dazzled when looking in the mirror at night. Some 4x4s with their hid lights, are stupidly bright, and are a pain in the arse when checking the mirror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonc Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've got one of these and auto wipers on one of my other cars and love both of these gadgets. Good news to find I can retro fit the rear view mirror now down to the auto wipers:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straightsix Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 If you've never had one, I guess it could be seen as pointless. Having had one in every Lexus I owned, it was the first thing I retrofitted in my Passat when I bought that. They prevent dazzle far better than a standard manual tilt mirror and in my opinion make crunching night time miles far safer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Pretty interesting… Seems like a noob question… but is it hard to retrofit in a Supra? I mean it looks like to be just a ignition + and negative wire job to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashpoint Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I always thought auto dimming mirrors were a gimmick until a bought my current car.... Now I'm in the same boat of trying to retro fit auto dimming to my RX 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Lexus models have wiring running to the door mirror glass too but you wouldn't get that for the Supra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Auto-wipers are the bomb. So used to auto-dimming mirrors I don't remember driving in the dark without one now. Another way around the issue my be a big gay wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great! Thanks! How is the the mirror actually mated to the glass? Is it just glued or is there a screw somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay1374 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 There's a screw on the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
