If the colors don't match, I think you can have it painted. I was told that some Honda dealers accept painting jobs for accessories these. This way, you can get the colors as close as the originals.
By the way, does anyone know if white LEDs are available for the turn signal lights (instead of the usual orange color)?
Thanks!

Great DIY! I was looking at these mirrors last night from the same seller on eBay and was wondering what the instal would be like. Your are my savior! haha
How hard is it to remove the sport wing? Anyone know? I am looking to replace it with a Mugen Carbon one.

i'll tell you the best way to tell. get yourself a 9 volt battery and try both
ways. only one way will work. the light will light up. then you will find out which is which.
then i used a black marker to mark my - negative. so later when you get
into the install you have no more trouble.

oh thats right you have the folding option. lucky bastards
do you at least have them mounted on the car?
that would be half the battle.
just extend all the wires and mark them.
then leave them under the dash till your ready.
cause man i can tell you getting all that wire you got through
that rubber tube. good luck. that was a pain in the ass.
i wish you luck.
can't wait to see them working
Dave ... calling Dave. hello
