Could Honda Insight Side Mirrors fit the FIT?
Hello FitFreaks!
I was at the Honda Service department at the dealership today and was looking over a Honda Insight while I was waiting for my car and I noticed it's side mirrors look very similar in shape to the Fit's side mirrors. Would it be possible to get a pair of the Insight side mirrors to install on the Fit?
Has anyone tried this? Let me know, please, since I've been lusting over the european/japanese "winkers" since I saw a post here of someone that installed them onto their american Fit.

Been discussed. I think it will take alot of $$. plus they are heated so a separate harness is required.

I don't get it... why get the Insight mirrors??? for the winker? for the auto-fold? or the heated option? There are Fit mirrors that will do those features already and they look pretty much identical as the Insights mirrors...

You can buy the Honda FIT (GE8) heated mirrors from Canada as they have them on their Fits...

If my job wasn't so slow and sporadic, and if I wasn't in so much debt I'd buy them.
So far a few people have bought the auto-fold mirrors but they are all waiting for Dave's DIY...
pardon me for my ignorance, but what's the benefit of going with the Insight mirrors over the GE8's?

I've been looking at those posts that you pointed out but they got the LED side mirrors from a seller on ebay that sells from Japan, that's all cool but I've been looking at his items for sale and no mirrors for now...
I don't really care about the heated ones since I live in Florida, even the folding option isn't really what I'm looking for... I just love the look of the "winkers."

Ohhh.. ok since they are available at the dealers.... still though I'd assume the local dealer would have them more expensive, than just buying the LED winker/cover combo, but I see the convenience... For ~ $180 you can have them shipped to the US from Japan from this seller ---> eBay My World - plijokkjiu46521kkjh
I've bought quite a few things from him (two seperate orders), and he's 1000% legit, official, and everything.. (I think he works at Honda Japan) He rarely has them listed, but just shoot him a pm, he can get anything JDM Honda... None of the parts I bought from him were ever listed, I just did 2 bulk orders to save on shipping.. Dave's a good option as well, but he's rarely around these days...
Although you'd have to get them shipped from Japan at about $180 +/- with yen exchange rates, that's a pretty low price, I think the Insight's would cost much more.

I e-mailed the guy from Japan and he does not have them anymore. He didn't mention ever getting them again. Someone going over to Japan anytime soon?
If the Insight mirrors are the same, it would be a great find. I wonder if there is an online Honda parts dealers like College Hills over in Japan. That would be awesome.
