Had a near miss without blind spot mirrors traveling through a major city recently. A fast mover came up on my left side and there wasn't time to look over my shoulder. This video is a major help for what I believe is a mandatory conversion if you appreciate safety.
This mod also works for 2019+ RAV4 LE without the blind spot monitor package. The glass is the same size but it takes just a little more effort. You need to cut off 2 of the black circles before the motor housing can snap in but don’t worry it doesn’t affect the mirror function or add vibration. I did it on my 2021 RAV4 LE as I hated my stick on blind spot mirrors.
Great video. Word of warning in the there are square hole clips on the inside part of the cover that are used to hold the inside part of the cover (closer to the body of the car) on. These are where Chris starts removing the covers pushing the bottom inside corner outward (away from the car) and up. When I did this those square hole clips broke off. I tried to be more careful pulling the cover away on the other side and still had the same result. I have a 2018 4Runner. Not sure if they made those clips better or newer years. The cover still seems to hold so far without those square hole clips. Thanks for the video and for the part numbers.
GREAT video! outstanding filming and explanations. I would love it, if you did a motorized folding side mirror install. ALL of there others cut out important and CRITICAL install points and areas. You get ailed install make for a perfect instructional video. The others a very disappointing pointing for us mere amateurs and novices that worry about undertaking modifications. That would be AWESOME!
Hello. Very nice and all steps are clear in professional way .only can you tell me if the light working now or not when car near to you. Or only mirror added
Thank you Chris I’ve gone ahead and upgraded my driver side! When you actuate the mirrors all the way left right up or down, does your mirror make clicking noise? I confirmed that it does on my passenger side. Try it out on yours, go all the way and see if it makes clicking noise.
you really dont have to pop that colored part off first just pull the mirror and unplug it and reverse to install....best mod ever i think. the blind spot on these is bad
@5:08 What are those prongs for? I bought a pair of these mirrors and those prongs on the left side mirror shake like they weren't properly glued or something. I was thinking of gluing it myself just don't know what those prongs are for.
Just tried on this on the drivers side - excellent instructions! Is it just me or is it a little bit smaller than the 4Runner mirror? Noticed a bit more gap around the sides.
Will these work with my 2021 4 runner, the mirror has a light on the outside of it & it may have something to help sonar to detect vehicle distance in front of u. Thanks
I don’t think the side mirrors have any forward facing sensors. Mine is a 2020 as well and the only sensors are from the rearview mirror and the safety sense sensor on the front grille. The light you have may be a turn signal light. I’m not familiar with that wiring since mine does not have that.
@@goodafternoonchris Ours is a 2021, I called about the mirrors & they said they wouldn’t work because of the sonar on the mirror. Our 4 runner is top of the line. I think I saw that the 2022 will have blind side sensors. Still researching if they will fit.
@@goodafternoonchris Toyota can’t tell me if they will fit or not. I made them order them so I could c for myself. Any info u could find would be appreciated. Thanks
@@goodafternoonchris I think I figured it out, the local Toyota place knew nothing. The thing on the outside is a blinker. If u go look at the replacement glass it’s the same part number for 2021, 2020, 2019 and maybe a few more so it should fit. I’ll let u know for sure when they come in. Thanks
I’m really sorry but I don’t know if they would fit on the Tacoma... I looked a pictures and they do look similar but not sure if the attachment is the same. If I find out, I’ll let you know!
Yeah but after years of doing that it adds up to a lot of work. It might be less effort to install these if you keep your truck a long time. How many lane changes would it take for this mod to save you effort? The world may never know. To be fair, as far as mods go it barely gets simpler than this. It's literally a plug and play swap that takes seconds. You spent more time watching this video than you would doing the mod to your truck.
Clear, concise and very detailed! Great job, love it! You're very good at "how to" videos!
Super clear, very detailed. Gives confidence anyone can do this
I added the bind spot mirrors a year ago and very happy with the factory look. Great video.
Just installed these on my 2020 4Runner. Thanks for the parts numbers and installation video. Looks great!
Thanks! Unbelievable what the vehicle costs and doesn’t come stock with these mirrors. I’m ordering today.

Thank you for the tutorial. Replaced the mirrors with no problems.
Thank you Chris! I followed your instructions and did it to my 4Runner.
Worked perfectly for a 2022 off road! Thanks!
Amazing video! Very thorough and clear instructions. Nice look!
Great video and I followed it .. worked well. Thank you.
Thanks for the video bro. Very informative and to the point.
I followed your instruction and it worked out great.
Thank you. 👍🏻
Awesome!! And, you’re welcome! :)
Thanks for this video, just ordered them for my 17 4runner
Thanks for the info! Just got around to buying the rav4 mirrors! Gonna put them on today!

Hell ya dude. I didn't know about this RAV4 mirror. Definitely getting that
This is such an awesome upgrade thank you any other suggestions for upgrades on this vehicle most appreciated!!

Had this on an old Ford Focus we had. Should be standard on all cars, a lot more useful than the blind spot warning.
So great! Thank you 🙏
Bro this is genius
Awesome thank you
Awesome

Bro, bad ass!
Just placed an order for two of them

you really dont have to pop that colored part off first just pull the mirror and unplug it and reverse to install....best mod ever i think. the blind spot on these is bad
Can you add an LED turn signal OEM or third party to these mirrors or do they have to be prewired first?
Dang, this is a great hack. I'm so scared of yanking off the mirror cover though.
Really cool! I can't find these though, where did you buy them? 🤘
Do you know which one can be similar for Toyota Venza with blind spot like you did? Thanks
Thanks for this bro. But would this mirror fits on my 2022 sr5?
@5:08 What are those prongs for? I bought a pair of these mirrors and those prongs on the left side mirror shake like they weren't properly glued or something. I was thinking of gluing it myself just don't know what those prongs are for.
where can i get those blindspot stock mirror upgrades on a toyota corolla.. i can't find a place that has them or sells them?
Just tried on this on the drivers side - excellent instructions!
Is it just me or is it a little bit smaller than the 4Runner mirror? Noticed a bit more gap around the sides.
its a great fix, unfortunately I'm one of those guys who will see that gap always... wish someone had an aftermarket 'perfect' fit.
Thr Rav4 mirrors i got are slightly tinted. Are yours tinted?
Does this fit on a 2013 Toyota 4Runner limited? Thanks.
@8:32 What did you mean: um functionality wise not the same. ???
Does this work on 2019 4Runner SR5?
Will this work on 2015 RAV4?
Any issue with the mirror defogger function on the new mirrors?
No issues at all, and it has been quite cold lately!
Great idea! Will it fit on the 2021 4runner?
Yes, will fit on 2021 since it’s still the 5th gen!
@@goodafternoonchris I just installed on my 2021, a fantastic upgrade
Anyone know if this works on a 13 4runner?
Will these work with my 2021 4 runner, the mirror has a light on the outside of it & it may have something to help sonar to detect vehicle distance in front of u. Thanks

@@goodafternoonchris It worked on my 2021 Limited. Thanks A lot.
I wish there's a mod that let us have BOTH the blind spot mirror and BSM.
Yeah, agreed. For this trim, the TRD Pro I don’t have Blind Spot Monitoring anyways so not an issue for me. Hope you find a solution!
Does this work with bsm from factory?
Does it retain the heated mirrors?
Yes, it does. You can test this too after you install by spraying water on it. If your car is turned on, it will dry before anything else dries
Does anyone know if these fit on a 2018 Tacoma?
Yes they fit the third gen Tacomas (2016 - 2022)
Not surprising mirrors are the same, economy production practice Toyota lives by. Make one thing for everything.
what about a 2021 t4r..?
Yup, will work for those too
Would these fit a 3rd gen Tacoma?
I’m really sorry but I don’t know if they would fit on the Tacoma... I looked a pictures and they do look similar but not sure if the attachment is the same. If I find out, I’ll let you know!
Thank You!
Nothing yet?
Yes they do fit the 3rd gen Tacomas.
What year RAV4 did you use. Thanks
I’m not sure what year this part number is for. Sorry!
2016-2018 RAV4
You should note that this ONLY fits 2014+ 4Runners 5th gen, 2010-2013 it does NOT fit! Great video though!
I would of just bought the $5 stick on ones lol
I have a simpler method. I turn my head and check before I lane change.
Yeah but after years of doing that it adds up to a lot of work. It might be less effort to install these if you keep your truck a long time. How many lane changes would it take for this mod to save you effort? The world may never know. To be fair, as far as mods go it barely gets simpler than this. It's literally a plug and play swap that takes seconds. You spent more time watching this video than you would doing the mod to your truck.
will this work if you have heated mirrors on the 4 runner?
Yes it will.
