WTB: facelift W210 side mirrors with blinkers (model year 2000 and up)

[hvmercy]

I have searched ebay and craigslist but wasn't able to find one in good condition.
I found one but it's only for the passenger side. I doesn't matter what color it is. I can always paint the cover to
match my body (or wrap them with 3M DINO C)


thanks.

There was a guy selling a set over at benzworld in the W202 AMG section...I think he was asking $250 for the set.

[hvmercy]

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Am i the only one that likes the side view mirrors for its simplicity and boxyness that matches the car?

[wichipong]

well i would have gotten one too... but i hear wiring it is the hard part... hell all i wanted was an automatic folding mirror one...

[chimchongdlight]

Yea im down with the auto fold. But not liking the shape. Or the blinker

Sorry. Not bashing

[mbsickness]

Wiring up the blinking is not difficult. If one wanted the blinking mirrors (not folding) and did not care about splicing wires, it is very straightforward. Things get complicated when the owner wants to preserve both the wiring on the car and mirror side. In this case an adapter has to be made and sourcing the parts is difficult. On my C36 I made wiring adapters and no wires were touched. This meant that I had the W210 mirror pig tails and the wiring out of two W202 mirrors. On my C280 I had the W210 pigtails but not the W202. In this case I used solderless connectors that I cut down to size on the W210 pigtails that plugged into the car's harness. Not Pretty but so far it has been trouble free.

True the shape of the W210 isn't as boxy as the W202 mirror but the blinker gives the old 202 a subtle facelift. At the end of the day...to each his own, but don't let the wiring aspect scare you away.

My pre-facelift has wiring harness inside that opening. If I recall correctly Nokia already has a thread on here about this specific topic.
It's only a matter of searching for it.

You're not alone. Our OEM mirrors somehow look sporty to me, not to mention the mirrors are much bigger than in some modern cars (I like to see what is behind me).

Mirrors. My stock mirrors come square just the way i want em

Guys, no chit chat on this WTB thread. If you want to discuss and post opinions on OEM vs. W210 side mirrors create your own thread.

Closing this thread. I'm gonna hold off on this project for now.
