I did this mod about two weeks ago, works like a charm =D
I just need some better tips on how to route those wires from the door to the car, since the tube was too stiff and narrow for me to get any pull lines through (the wires are just strapped to the outside of the rubber for now)...

Fun eh. I found worst was getting the new covers on. I think I still have one clip not fully engaged.

I used a coat hanger with small loop on the end. I pushed it up from the bottom and caught the new wires at the top and pulled them back through. Just make sure the end of your coat hanger loop is bent in to the long side so it does not catch the rubber tube.

Ok, I'm having trouble finding these parts. Can anyone help me out here? Also, any idea what the P/N for the heated mirrors is? I live in Colorado so it would be nice to have. And do I need anything other than these parts listed? I saw something about a wiring harness that I may need? Or am I just crazy? It would be nice to have a full list f arts and accompanying P/N's.
Thanks.

1) Right LED Folding mirror, P/N 76208-TFO-J11
2) Left LED Folding mirror, P/N 76258-TFO-J11
3) Power folding type mirror switch assy, P/N 35190-TFO-J01
4) Wire repair sub cord (10 wires per part# ), P/N
04320-SAA-A00

Once you have all of these items the fun begins....as of right now I know that there is 4 of you that have the folding mirrors that have been waiting for this to be finished... so I will do my best to get clear and detailed pic's up for your viewing pleasure.... and the best part about this is that only 3 wires per door need to be added and only 2 wires to the harness that goes to the mirror switch..... for a grand total of 8 wires total... the fun part will be adding the wires to your blue molex plug on each door side harness and the breaking down of the JDM plug harness.

So look for some pic's of the molex plugs and wire locations by the end of the weekend

I don't think you can order these parts from the US dealers except the pigtail wires. Integrated turn signal with folding side mirrors are JDM Jazz/FIT option. I bought mine from Honda dealer in Thailand. I also use heated mirrors from Canadian FIT. Please don't bother to buy the pigtail wires. They will not fit in USDM terminal connectors beside JDM mirror connectors have more pins than USDM mirror terminal connectors.

You can also use 2010+ Honda Insight heated mirrors but you need to swap the mirror holders.

Good luck on your project.

I know that I can't buy them from a US dealer, but the problem is I can't find a Thai website that sells them. I went to Honda's official Thai website, and couldn't find any. Also, do I just need to buy mirror covers, or do I need to buy the whole mirror? Or is that only necessary if I want the retractable ones? And I'm assuming you meant that I shouldn't buy US pigtails, as only JDM ones will fit?

Yes, you can buy only side mirror covers with integrated turn signal. I saw a couple on eBay but most of them are after-market if you don't want folding feature.

You can buy 2010 Honda Insight side mirror covers. I saw one guy did that.

You can look out on eBay as well for genuine JDM integrated turn signal side mirrors with folding feature. They are used parts from Japan and come with terminal connectors. These will make the installation easier.

Ok, so scratch the power folding mirrors, but I still need to know where to order these from. Or at least the part number so I can look for them.

I know that, but I want OEM.

Edit: I finally found a post with the P/Ns so I think I got it. Thanks for the help.

Great write up, I really want the heated mirror option, but I guess it doesn't get cold enough in North Idaho (practically in Canada) to offer this as an option.

i'd love blinker mirrors... anyone know where to buy?

in other news, i smashed the sh!t outta my passenger mirror. the glass and the case are shattered. so even if no blinker mirror, does anyone have a good source for a replacement cover and glass? maybe i could get the sport mirror?

I bought mine from a Honda dealer in Thailand. They are genuine Honda parts. However, I saw on eBay from time to time. You can also buy they from AJ Racing.
A&J Racing :: Interior :: Mirrors :: JDM Honda Power Folding Mirrors - Honda Fit 09+ (GE8) but the price is a little bit high. You can go farther with heated mirrors as well. Canadian FIT has it.
