    Thx for the feedbacks guys!
    It looks great. Unfortunately...its not made in real cf (which I thought they were)...and i also didn't expect the city light on em. I'm not sure if its legal or not. The installation didn't take that long cuz I had it done at a professional shop.

    Dang! Just when you think the w210 mirror options were exhausted, now there's this!

    So....the inevitable question.....who will be the first to have these in a folding configuration?

    If these are standard shape 202 mirrors then folding is not an option but required!!! Since the 202 did come with folding mirrors out the box!

    I keep hearing you guys say that about 202 mirrors folding, but my 1999's dont fold. They flexed, but I couldnt fold them up to get them out of the way.

    they don't fold. They just flex. The only ones that will fold and stay into place are the powered folding ones, which fold by the press of a button.

    For some reason the North American cars got the short end of the stick with the power folding mirrors. However, you can order these from your local parts department as they are listed in their system.

    Unhappy

    I just bought the same mirrors but they didnt come with a wiring diagram.

    Each blinker unit has only three wires. red, black and brown.

    1. Does anyone know what the proper wiring should be?

    I am assuming :

    red : 12 volt
    black : ground
    brown: trigger

    also, if that is the case, how do you get the whites to turn on?

    I would assume..ONE power..and two grounds for the blinker and driving light.

    I tested the lights today.

    The red is 12 volt and the brown turns on the white lights, however, when I connect the black to ground nothing happens.
    no blinkers.



    Any other wiring suggestions?

    I just got a set of those C/F blinking mirrors for my C43. ($180 right off of ebay, auto/truck parts, W202, C-Class, search). Steve told me which wire to hook up to which pin in the unused 8 pin connector at the bottom of the a-pillar in my C-43. But, I still don't know how to do the install.

    Could anyone tell me how to take the old mirror covers off and how to get to the 8 pin connector at the bottom of the a-pillar.

    A previous thread indicated that you bend the mirrors back, look for a clip, remove it and voila the cover comes off. But no one has indicated (even in the folding mirror thread) whether one has to dissasemble the entire mirror, remove the door panel or other trim to get to that 8-pin connector.

    Any help would be appreciated. Those blinking C/F mirrors look very cool on your car. Can't wait to put them on mine.
