Nice video and conversion! You posted in the IS group as I was asking about doing a retro on my CT200h. I did the power folding mirrors on my 2020 RCF, all plug and play. I just noticed that your passenger mirror folds in slower than the driver side (assuming that's correct since I can't see the steering wheel, so the left mirror as we are looking at it). My RCF does the SAME thing and I always wondered if that was a problem but now I'm feeling better seeing it on another lexus..lol Appreciate your reddit thread. I wish more folks modded, seems like it's seriously phasing out for some reason. So you didn't have any issues at all adding the JDM motors with the EDM housings? I was always told that the JDM bases would not bolt up to the car if it wasn't a JDM vehicle and the angle would be severly off.
One mirror has a longer distance to do than the other, so it's not slower, it's just more "travel" time, almost every car is like that. I used the JDM motors in the USDM housing without any issues. JDM bases will bolt up, but the angle will be off, you'd have to set the mirrors to their limit just to be able to see, which is kind of dumb. The folding switch (window switch) is EDM.
@@Giorgio_Rampa Appreciate your response! I asked lots of questions on your post on CL if you wanted to check it out. (Also posted pictures) You rock, I'm so happy you made your thread and posted the link because I think this going to be doable!! I'm so excited! I asked this in the thread but did you use the JDM black mirror arms or did you use your OEM black mirror arms ontop of the jdm motors? That's one item I'm confused about.
@@NewShockerGuy you can't use the JDM interior pieces (black mirror arm as you call it) since they don't fit in the USDM housing. That's why they're labelled "RHD RH" and "RHD LH" on the part itself. Like I mentioned earlier, you need to reuse your entire OEM housing and mirrors, just swap out the motor part. Also, check the harness on your OEM mirrors (the harness in the door not the the mirror), if you see 2 extra wires there that are in the door harness but the mirror itself doesn't have those 2 wires, then chances are, your car is pre-wired for power folding. Assuming that's where the blue and green wire are on the JDM mirrors.
@@Giorgio_Rampa Ah!! ok that's great news then!! That's what I was getting confused about. When I hear housing, I just think the painted exterior part and the black trim ring with bottom pieces. So the internals as well, thank you for the clarity! That's great actually! I will 1000% check the wiring. That's what I did with my 2020 RCF and found out that all the wires were there on the door harness but I was missing 2 wires on the actual mirrors themselves... Once I replaced the mirrors with the power folding and got a new window control switch everything worked when I pushed the fold in/out button! Super excited now, I'm so happy you did this and posted information on it! It's greatly appreciated! I will keep you updated. It's gonna be several weeks till I get everything in my hands. A little bummed I can't use the OEM switch, but it seems like on Aliexpress there are several "oem-ish" looking dash buttons that can be used. And those are 12v so it would be as simple as running the mirrors to those with your included wiring harness/relay diagram.
@@NewShockerGuy be careful with the aliexpress switches since it may fry your multiplex unit. Get OEM parts. Hopefully your car is pre-wired, because running the wires and the relays are a real pain!
