Yea had them painted by a family related bodyshop. I dropped the covers off on a Saturday night and had the mirrors installed Monday afternoon (Sunday they closed).

Installing my HIDs this weekend

Is there a trick for removing the black plastic trim to take a look at the mirror's wiring? Or should I just play with it until I figure out how to take it off? I'd like to swap the mirrors on my coupe too.

I was told that when you have the defroster on - the mirrors heat up... Right guys?

per the owners manual: the heated mirrors are activated when you turn on the rear window defroster

do you have a link to that thread?

how do you take off the door panel in a sedan?

and is there anyplace where you could buy the covers pre-painted, or only at the dealer?thanks.

Hey Bina,

I was really impressed with your set up. I just wanted to know after almost 2 years of driving your 2.5SL with this upgrade, did you notice any problems? Say like a short circuit or something? Please advise...
