I know that, but how about the wires from the oem mirror? Any one have pics of the process?

Thanks!

the apr mirrors are manual, u cant hook up those wires so just tuck the wires back into the door panels.

surely enough u can see theres no wires on the apr mirrors themselves..........

the install should be as easy as bolting them on. certainly easier than replacing mirror glass on other cars ive had. ie m3. haha

Yes, I know that - but how do I unclip the wires from the mirror to the car? I am having trouble, doesn't want to come out.

Bolting them is definitely easy, but I don't know how to deal with the wires since the wires don't want to deattach from the oem mirror to the car.. any ideas?

I found it: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...r-install.html

Is it possible to NOT cut the wires? I would like to put it back to originality later on in the future.

Thanks in advance!

Cut them, save the connector somewhere safe, reattach later using butt connectors and a crimp tool.

I just saw this thread is old. Why you bump it??

Anyways.

You don't have to cut the wires!! Just unclip the wiring harness from the mirror and use some electrical tape to cover it and tuck it back in. This is a crappy video but you can see the clip is not cut.
