Is this car at the dealers yet..??? if so someone needs to do a few measurements...

Other than that the complete assy is not that different in price than the Japanese RS Fit ones... but these Mirrors will not have the folding option.... for those of you that are looking for that... but they have the Heated unit and Winker in them so that is a couple of strong points...

but they look like they might not work.
parts #'s are different.

might have to get the whole set-up in order for it to work.
and the whole set up is $$$

Well, so you can compare:

Total costs to me for my turn signal mirrors
Turn signal mirro covers with lights(169.99USD-Paypal coupon!)
Installation($90)

Total $260.00

Worth it to me BTW.

i printed out acuple of pix from parts at the dealer i work at and from the exploded view it doesnt look like it'll fit. the insight lx model doesnt have the blinker so u would think it would have the same part number as the fit seeing how they look the same but no. different part numbers.

as for the exploded view, the insight's mirror cover looks different from the inside, my guess is because of the heated mirrors that comes on the insight.

also, the cover can NOT be bought alone. u must buy the WHOLE assembly. light is seperate. and from what it looks like, the harness that plugs into the light is also seperate and cant be bought like NORI (ebay) has it. its a whole harness that has multiple plugs that go for the heated mirrors and power and what not.

now for price, my cost for left and right assemblies and lights is a little over $200. that does not include harness or parts for it to be heated.

hope this helps
