    Re: JDM folding mirrors

    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

    Re: JDM folding mirrors

    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?

    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!

    Re: JDM folding mirrors

    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
