JDM folding mirrors

[accordion89]

wow, I saw the jdm folding mirrors on youtube, didnt know they were motor controlled, lol, thought they folded by hand like mine

I never plan on getting anything cool for my car, but does anybody have info on these

[ghettogeddy]

talk to the nz guys they can get them

[accordion89]

dont want one, sure i could pay alot of bills for the price of those, just wondering whats the story and what models they came on, did they work with keyless entry? what did they work in unison with?

[mykwikcoupe]

super cool, mine fold with the alarm aux contacts, the folding fogs fold with the lights.

[ghettogeddy]

there not super expensive you can prolly pull a set for about 100-150

[lostforawhile]

i have a set i just haven't installed them yet. been too much going on and too sick to mess with them.

[Rendon LX-i]

sell em to me hehe..

[Joay]

AccordB20A has a set for $160 shipped I believe... I wouldn't be advertising the fact if I wasn't broke. :(

lol, folding fogs!? what?

[2oodoor]

sell em to me hehe..

no sell them to ME

lol

[2drSE-i]

some versions of jdm fog lights had flip down covers that say accord on them

[AccordB20A]

86-87 jdm fogs had folding covers, sick aye, but the power folding mirrors only come optional on 88-89 models with high end trims like 2.0Si's and SuperStages

I also have my mirrors wired to my central locking/alarm

[mykwikcoupe]

do a search on youtube or something. Steve_si posted a vid. Mine arent totally operational yet

In action! (http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54998&highlight=Folding_Fogs) (Fogs not the mirrors.)

I already got jdm folding side mirrors but I don't have control folding side mirrors box so I using antenna switch for control its now.
Control folding side mirror box can be use with Accord CB3 or not someone can tell me?

use any control box from any honda they are all the same. some later preludes might have a 7 wire box but still sort of the same.

Hey is the control box needed just for folding function or is it needed for mirror controls as well? Do non-power folding mirrors have control box too?

ya
there still power


the only ones that dont are the dx's
but the control looks exactly the same besides the fold switch at the bottom

[A18A]

the control box is only for folding mirrors, non folding mirrord cars don't have them

Ah just as I thought. They are similar with newer Honda I guess?

I believe I could replicate the same function of the control box with regular relay and maybe some electronics.

Local junkyard wants too much money for both switch and control box. Screw that!

[AccordB20A]

all the box does is changes the polarity of the current going to the mirrors every time you press the button, and then it turns off power to the mirrors after 30 or so seconds

That turns off power after xx seconds could be a problem. That, and how pressing the fold switch actually keep fold-in relay circuit close for certain second and press it again it triggers the fold-out relay. I'm not that good with electronics lol.

I can replicate the reverse polarity thing without much problem with regular DPDT relay. I guess I should pay the $$ to use the proper switch and box :(

[MessyHonda]

i want some but no money....life of a 3geer....no money for cool things

says the guy with my hood, 3 b2oa engine 2 b2k5 transmissions, and every other thing most people on the site want. On a side note, hows your bestbuy discount? Cheaper than shipping to wa?

for the delay use a capacitor, have it charge when u press the button then slowly discharge it thru a transistor that makes a relay turn on and when the cap drys up it turns off

Ah never thought of that lol. Regular timer circuit would work here right?

Also, I've noticed on the Nissan mirrors I have, it has cutoff circuit built in, the motor won't move any further if there are still power applied. I'm curious about Honda setup, since Nissan don't require any control box. Do the folding motor still move if there are still power going to it?

[AccordB20A]

the mirror stops moving when its folded into its correct place but you cant adjust it while it still has power to it if you fold it in after its folded out it will decide to fold out again so you probably could leave the power going into it but honda is smarter than nissan so yeah
