Pre Facelift Mods/retrofit

[mrahman136]

Hi All,

Is there a plug and play way of sorting out the illuminated door sills, wing mirrors to fold with locking and retrofit anti dazzle rear view mirror for my 07 IS250 SE? I have ML and Reverse Cam as factory fitted.

Don't want to start opening bits of the car as it is still in 5+ warranty.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

The sills and anti dazzle mirror were pre-facelift. Mine is a 56 plate and has them. I think it was the difference between the SE and SE-L so you mind find those at a breakers.

The closing mirrors you will need to add hardware as the electronics aren't in controller on the older models. They aren't actually connected to the ecu, they are hard-wired. There's a thread going on at the moment - you can buy a kit. I'm looking at adapting the one I developed for the IS200 but haven't got around to it yet.

Have a look at this thread for info on the mirrors. You will see that I did mine when I had the 220d but it does necessitate removing the door panel (although not completely) so you might not want to do it.
