hey guys
whats going on
here is another how to video
for the removal of y our side mirror covers and the led indicators/turn signals
in this video i show how to carefully remove the side mirror cover without using brute force and by using trim removal tool and a t10 torx screwdriver/power tool
i have seen many times before other people using brute strength the pull off the side mirror cover and it always worried me as it seemed as you could probably break something in the process, so instead i show how to properly remove it by using a trim removal tool and some patience....
also i have seen a few videos out there on how to remove the side mirror covers but never how to detach the led indicators from the side mirror cover housing
so i decided to also show how to do that

There is 2 cable attach with the mirror. Both 2 are the same? Can I just simply attach it ?
Best way by far. All other the videos have you removing mirror, loosen screws inside and whatnot. Just before I was about to start the arduous task, I came across this video. Saved me so much work. Thanks!
I'm glad
good clear informative video ..very helpful..i have always been worried about how others remove it by using brute strength..i like the way you removed it in this video.. you showed very specifically that you do not need to be rough and hard..just take your time like you always say and with the help of a trim removal tool it can be done very carefully and easily...well done mike!!

@@barrycarruthers7866 cheers again buddy ... much appreciated the support
Hello again my friend! Thank you for the tutorial! I just ordered the exactly same mirrors for my 2008 car. I had dimming and auto folding mirrors so I bought the e mirrors with same function only for facelift! The connectors look the same so I hope is gonna be plug and play! I noticed the face lifted model has more wires in the white connector but the park selling them told me they did that before and they are working !❤ wish me luck !
The best video so far!!!
Very detailed!
thank u my friend i really appreciate it
Fantastic video love it ...really enjoying your channel mikeyz it really shows how much you want to help others
Thats a really good way to remove the side mirror ..ive ssen so many ppl pull it off and even the cover ... heaps of ppl jist pull it out and up but im worried something will break orbat least scratch..but your way seems safe and easy..thanks for the clear instructions
Yeah I’m here first. Good job. I’m waiting for the puddle lights. I see u put those side window skirts. Me personally I don’t like them, I think they make a really nice car look cheap. Been too hundreds of car shows and I have yet to see them there. Just saying... to each his own, right! So when will you be dropping the next video?
yeah i know what you mean...to each his own....ppl are always going to have different taste...i can respect that ...the next video will be SOON ....PROLLY WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS WAITING ON A FEW BITS AND PIECES TO FINALIZE THE PUDDLE LIGHT INSTALL...for this retrofit i wanted it to look just like factory.... took alot of time and effort for this one so hope ppl like it too
Great video!!
thanks

Best guide to replace cover without taking off the mirror

You really helped me safely disassemble the led turn . Tip on glued led to housing was critical to avoid damage. Thanks so much.
I installed dynamic led with blue parking from dmp. Very good quality kit
Most welcome bud
Thank you, that was awesome and exactly what I need to learn how to replace my covers from white to black....

Brilliant video, I need to replace both wing mirror indicators as they are all damp inside and this will help a lot (especially the glue bit) I might update in future to say if it’s really that easy 😁
thanks mate
Thank you. I think I feel more comfortable removing the mirror first.
yep do what u feel is best
I have a 2008 C200 Kompressor (W204) and my mirror cover/LED is different, can I just swap to this one that you use ?
if ur plugs are the same yes u can
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Yes they are, but some people told me that the mirror has a different format...
@@LucasLeal96 ive seen it done before a d i sidnr hear about that..unless .,.,u need it to be activated or synced somehow...but i dont see hiw thats necessary for aide mirrors...im not exactly sure
I also have the old light Lucas, did you change to the New one?
Great video 👍 love the video very detailed
Love the video man💪 thanks for great info
Very good video !
everything is clear
Thanks !
thx
Fyi some mirror covers have a screw holding it on from the inside, you pull the mirror glass out first then undo the screw then pop the cover up. On mine the driver side had no screw but passenger did
good to know , thanks for sharing
You're awesome
thanks mate
Great tutorial, thanks 👍👍👍👍
thanks
Seen some videos they take mirror off .is that a good idea ?
doesnt hurt , its really how you feel about it u just have to be comfortable with the job your doing and ensure you are capable
Great video mate
thx
Best video on subject...
Thanks a ton
I have a GLA X156. Do you know whether it's the same procedure?
@@chitung2277 if it looks the same it will be
Does your mirror use the metal prongs to fasten? They at 3 and 6 oclock
no they just clip in
Is it wrong if i just take the class out 😅 and do the same but get a little bitt better room for the clips
guess so...not wrong do any way u want as long as ur ok with it and u get Job done
Damn that looks hot ...any problems with error msgs on dash?
Hey Mike.
I installed a new mirror indicator (normal indicator, not dynamic) on my passenger side and it works just how it should. However, when i start the car i get an error message on the display telling me to check the right side mirror indicator. Also the first 1-3 times that i use my right indicator, the indicator light on the dash (green arrow) will flash more frequently. After that the flashing is back to normal until i restart the car. The error message is always present in the "messages" dialog.
Any idea what it might be? The spare indicator was bought from a reputable store and cost 60 euros. Maybe i should have should rolled with ebay, cause i dont seem to hear other people struggling with this.
Hey bud...welcome to the channel... make sure when you plug the light in that it is plugged in correctly sometimes the pins get loose or even bent causing an inconsistent connection... also check that there are no breaks or loose wires and lastly it can even bs due to your rear tail light wire harness... cauaing the dast flaahing..wen ur car has a faat dlaahing indicator its usually a sign that another bulb in on the same side is loose or blown.... lastly get a scan done with a good obd2 scanner to try narrow the issue
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Thanks mike, ill try out your suggestions.
My actual glass seems to sit a bit low on the bottom left corner and it’s scrubbing the lower edge of the housing! Are there set screws or anything on the mechanism to center the mirror edges?
no there isnt are u sure its clippes in right ..it shouldnt be rubbing against anything regardless of how far u adjust it ...it should never touch the side mirror frame
hi i install a dynamic turning indicate light for my w176 A250 ,but the it been delay dont know why? the front turning light flash 7 time then the dynamic light flash 1 time. and the dash board indicate left mirrow indicator!...any help please?
Hi buddy so if you are experiencing error msg u may need a resistor or a relay so that it can fees constant 12v when the led turn signals flash ... mine doesnt have any errors ...so for some reason i dont need to do that but in your case get a resistor or a relay so u can feed 12v when needed
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ thanks bro where can i buy that risistor is it ezy to connect? i bought my dynamic light from ebay, i sould buy from DMP car design cause it erro free...
Hey, thanks for the video. Where can I buy the plastic tool you show in 1:43 (I live in Spain ;)
ebay or any automitive store
Do you know what size the T10 Torx screws are? My mirror housing got knocked off off the mirror mount and was destroyed. The replacement kit I got doesn't come with screws.
ill have a measure for ya as im changing the base again to a proper oem one as mine was cut out via diy and im not happy with how it looks
Hi! Is it the same procedure if you've got the blind spot indicators on your mirrors? Any extra wiring to worry about when removing the mirror exept from the heating wires? :)
The same ... if u have blind spot then you will have the connector for the blind spot so an extra connector just remove slowly u will see connector eaay to remove aswell ...
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Thanks!
Where can I get those window visors?
watch the video on it it's in description I added a link ebay
Mine was stolen and the dealership is asking me $2,000 for a new one. Anyone knows where to find a better price??
