Exclamation Important message on the LED side mirrors

It is highly possible that the LED side mirrors will not fit some/all US models.

I was making a DIY part II(Continuing where Etimago left off)when I noticed that there was a major error w/ the mirror.

Can you see the difference?


Circled which prongs don't fit/there's an extra/or is missing


Tried my best to aligned the pictured as best as possible


I'll try my best to describe my car to the best of my abilities.
My car is a 2007 3 door Toyota Yaris with the power package(in California). That includes power: doors,steering,windows,sideview window, and auto locks.

Like Etimago mention, the mirror is a bit bigger/thicker then the stock version and some prongs point the other directions too.

ah dammit... Thanks for finding that out, vodkalush also reported the same problem, but I assumed it was just a sedan thing.

So where does this leave us... looks like two of the clips are aligned (the one in the bottom right corner, can you check on that?), so that's the bare minimum to hold the cover in place, but I think your best bet will be to remove the non-aligned clips and use some double sided tape (or even some velcro if you need it to be removable?) along the top edge to hold the cover in place.

I'm really sorry for this mishap, guys, who would have thought Toyota would manufacture two different versions of the exact same thing?

Not your fault Thomas... we here over in the US should have double checked with the picture you provided for us.

I'll figure out a way... and if it's easy I'll let you guys know...

Yes, I wonder if it's a 3-door/5-door thing, or a difference by country of manufacture...

You could try that tracking number in the mexican post office website, it might tell you the name of the donkey on whose back the box is

I didn't purchase the covers myself, but am curious of 3M double sided tape would work in this application? If so it would be plenty strong enough and could be removed in the event of a repair with out damage and minimal clean-up.

I tried relocating the tabs without much success... so i just snipped them off and applied 3m decal/trim adhesive (almost like rubber cement) and it looks like should i need to go into the mirrors that it will just require alittle clean-up.

ill post too let you all know in a few days weither or not the mirror covers are still on, and about that time i'll actually wire them up...
