One final photo shot

At first I thought it looks longer and was worried it might not fit. But after I brought to my car and compare the sizes I finally take a breath. The color match to my car just like I have ordered. The parts apparently are from China (instruction manuals are in Chinese) and have detailed diagrams showing steps by steps. It will take sometime before I can put it on my car because I am still waiting for my second order which is the motor part which enables the mirrors to fold in by either the switch or automatically. I'll have it update once I received it. Stay tuned...

Very cool!!! Thanks for sharing...! I read through this new thread as well as the original thread you referenced and could not find where you identified where you purchased the LED mirrors from (or I missed it)

Would you mind sharing that information as well (website link / URL?) I'd like to order some as well.

[kccruz2009]

hey buddy i am really interested to get one like your led mirrors. i have sl awd. would you tell me the address with complete information.. appreciate your immediate response.

*REDACTED*

[Leo2005]

Where did you buy them? I saw only for quashqai and not for rogue.

[insomnia816]

The parts came from a dealer where she ordered the parts from Nissan China. Although there's no specific website related to her company's profile, but she does sells the part online at a chinese auction web.

As for now as I know I think I am the only one in North America that got it. I will try ask her if she will provide more to send oversea. Right now I am waiting for my second order which contains the following parts:

Mirror Fold Motor left and right side

Switches

[Pescakl1]

Thanks for all, it is great.Like the others, I am interested in them.Do you plan to install them yourself or make them installed?

While waiting for a link or more information to order them, could you scan the installation instructions in order to see what have to be done to install them (what to remove, where to plug them to, etc..?)?

Thanks.

[rjchoops]

I just saw these LEDs turn signal mirror strips on ebay. Not nearly as nice as the led covers but an option. Just wonder how you would hide the wires for the LEDs on these stick ons.

I found a video clip on Youtube which demonstrate the steps needed in order to access to the side mirror's part. Although it shows inserting led arrow inside the mirror. But steps are much the same. (removing door panel, steps etc) Noticed this only shows the driver's side, passanger's side requires you to remove the glove box compartment in order to wire through the driver's side

I just got time recently due to injury-stay from work. So I got about a week time having my rogue stay in garage. Its not that hard to install if I got time, but since I am doing a combine install (mirror and motor) which is a lot tricky. Was thinking too if I should also add the LED arrow just like the video shown behind the mirror. Its not that hard but since my rogue only been around for couple months, I still have to be careful not to break anything (air bags, wires etc). If any roguer live near Vancouver area could help me out that would be great help too.

I have also scanned the installation document into pdf format. Although its in chinese language, but its worth while to take a look. (I can translate by the way) http://rapidshare.com/files/31...r.pdf

About when to get the parts I have to wait until I have confirmed mine's working so the seller can ship out more eventually. But in the mean time I could help build up a database which helps me to assist anyone interest in. Here's the info needed by the seller (she doesn't speak English )

Paypal account (she sends a payment request)Name & Telephone number (need it for the dealer)AddressPaint Code

UPDATE 12/09/09 ]In compliance with NicoClub forum's regulation, I have pull-off the contact information until further notice

insomnia816,

Although I am quite impressed with this modification, your are offering products which can be considered commercial or business related. This could be in conflict with NICO's Terms of Conduct policies.

I have referred your thread to forum administrators for clarification.

[Pescakl1]

He is just trying to help those who want to get these accessories since there are only available in China.

I believe he won't do even one cent in profit as he is just trying to put us in contact with the Chinese dealer, from what I understand.

To the Nicoclub moderators, I can understand this policy and I agree with it... when your sponsors offer a similar product, but it is definitively not the case here.

[philipa_240sx]

Pescakl1, I just have some serious reservations about this. I for one would not send my personal information to someone I do not know. And I do not like the fact this is being offered for sale here and I wish to protect and inform our members.

I will see what the NICO admins think. I will not remove the post or do anything for now.

I apologize if I have break the forum's rule as I understand the importance of collecting personal information is against the rules. I know, too that it is also not right to sell anything here. But I am not here to earn money but just trying to help other members in a way. Shall I edit my previous post to clearify the action?

[philipa_240sx]

insomnia816,

I am just going to leave this thread as-is for now. If you want to clarify things to any potential buyers, go ahead.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...AX:IT

The wire run though the outter edge of the cover unless you drill a hole into the mirror casing. The wiring will still requires you to remove the door panel and steps in order to gain access to the signal wires.

Hey, folks, Look at here!

I found this product long time back but I didn't pay attention because I don't have the skill to do the replacement. This item are sold in my country "Taiwan" and it is also the standard equipment of Rogue in Taiwan. If you guys are interested and want to purchurse, you have to understand traditional chinese character or ask your asian friend to do that for you. Or... maybe I can help to translate some since I am from Taiwan.

The website in Taiwan is like ebay.com but from yahoo.I can give you the link:

one set of led cover: $4200 TWD = $130 USDhttp://tw.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auction/d40037053

one set of led mirror:$1600 TWD = $50 USDhttp://tw.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auction/b51731806

one set of Mirror Fold Motor: $8000 TWD = $240 USD <-- big ripped offhttp://tw.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auction/b51446592

Enjoy

[Leo2005]

and how to buy the stuff over there? Chuhhh muhhh tun pun dun mun krun. What does it all mean? Is there possibility at least translate it to english?

[darkmanx]

It is kind of hard to do the translation of the webpage. But the point is that seller is willing to ship the stuff to other countries. So If you wanna order it, you can contact the seller through 3 ways:

1. yahoo messenger: rv09132282602. skype: rv09132282603. e-mail: [email protected]

Give the order to seller and discuss with them how to pay for the item.But I don't gurantee the seller can handle it.

Another option is, I am going back Taiwan next month. If many people wanna order this stuff. I can negotiate with the seller face to face and try to get them available in North America.

Is there possibility at least translate it to english?

Google translate does a pretty good job:

I said I was interested in more information, not necessarily that I wanted to order one for sure.

I would not stand getting leds without playing with them first, that means I will have to open it and find what leds they use.

But I don't want to do that on US$140 pieces, so I decided I will go with the stick on leds I found on Ebay (thanks to rjchoops for the original idea).

At about $10 for the pieces, I will not be afraid to play with them, even if I end up breaking them (should be plastic welded, so it should be a pain to open).

As for the leds behind/in the mirror, if I do that too, I will probably do my own too.

In conclusion, I will go the DIY route... as always .

Thanks for the offer anyway.

hi Pescakl1

Sure its your call I have removed from the list

[insomnia816]

I updated my op with 2 more photos showing the size and comparison.

[Leo2005]

What happened to other stuff like motors? Also I'm wondering if the switch could be rewired so mirrors would fold everytime I shut off/start the engine?

Good call Leo! I was going to post more photos about the motors parts. Although I can not confirm at this stage about the wires, but there's a relay that control the action of folding/unfolding whenever you lock/unlock the car. This way you don't have to manually switch on and off all the time.

Parts that comes with the motor

Anyone know how to remove the rogue's door panel? I taken down the bolts and was unable to find the spot to pry out the inner piece connected with the speaker.

Never mind, I actually find some post that shows clearly Passenger Side Door Panel Removal

I'll give another try tomorrow morning.

[philipa_240sx]

Word of advice: DO NOT remove the center 'panel' you see in some of the later pics if you can avoid it. This panel holds the window glass, track and power window electrics in place. If you remove it, a few things may happen:

1) You will mess up the alignment of the power window tracks making the window difficult or impossible to close completely.2) You risk shattering the window glass.3) You will not be able to completely remove the panel anyway as there several steps involved.

See if you can access the wiring by removing the speaker instead.

Look at the Official Rogue FAQ for links to the service manuals. This will give a better explanation on how to remove the panel. Hint: it's under the Facts and Information section.

Thanks Philipa for the advice, I am refering to the "DOOR FINISHER" under "ON-VEHICLE REPAIR" section right now

[insomnia816]

So, I finally removed the panel and be able access to the mirror part. But for some reason I am having hard time seperating the mirror from its casing. Any suggestion or help?

P.S. I broke a clip while taking the door panel down

I am referring to http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Rogue/2009/MIR.pdf

I just got it cracked and opened. Posting some more photos later.
