Thanks!

looks shitty i know but they weren't long enough.
so i had to splice in the door.
sorry for the confusing.
i also forgot to put the connectors in the picture
cause i didn't know what i was going to use at first.
there just called quick connects maid by 3M.
my walmart has them for $1.00

sweet thanks man. Also, is the fuse box right at the center dash or something? I've never opened it up before so I'm pretty noob to all this electrical modding stuff =p.

fuse box is under your steering column.
right by where your knees are sitting
in the car you will see three tabs.
right under them there is a hole. grab
and pull. now you have access to your fuse
box.

thats the best advise i can give you.

The Yellow repair wire part # is 04320-SAA-A00 (Sub Cord,10 per part#)
The connector for the LED light part # is 04321-S5A-307 ( Black color connector plug )..... There is also one other part# for the connector but it's gray in color and I'm looking for it now

Lightbulb 95% ready

OK... I have all of the wiring locations and wiring figured out for those of you that will be doing the power folding mirrors. In order for this to work, you will need the following parts.
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

Thats great news Dave! How much is the wire repair cords? Is that a JDM part or can I get those locally? From the list of parts, Im hoping I dont need the JDM wire harnesses for each door.

You don't need both door wire harnesses... but if you do it would be a plus.... the wire repair wires can be bought from your local Honda or Acura dealer... just make sure that you get the smallest size they sell.... they offer different lenghts... so if you want a longer wire that might be a plus... also don't for get about the switch for the mirrors too
