On ebay not too long ago I saw a set of power folding mirrors from an 02 Nissan Cefiro (which Im assuming is equivellent to my 02 I35). I noticed that on the mirror control switches in my car, there's a blank space where another button could be - I imagine this is where the button would be if the car had the pwr folding mirror option, but I've never seen an Infiniti with that option. Is it just a foreign thing or is there somewhere I could actially find a pair for less than the $400 pair I saw on ebay?

I installed some a LONG time ago.

LED turn signals, LED puddle lamps, folding function, OEM switch, blue-tinted glass.

Also took some videos:1st - LEDs blinking - http://www.myi35.info/mirrors/mirror1.AVI

2nd - LEDs blinking - http://www.myi35.info/mirrors/mirror2.AVI

3rd - Mirrors folding - http://www.myi35.info/mirrors/mirror3.AVI

Last but not least, I got them from these people:

Had them painted at the body shop and I installed them myself. Worth every freaking penny.

I've never seen my car's twin until today Tis a pretty sweet ride.

Wanted to ask where you got the clear corners, too. I found some on a website called Paradox.com (or something like that) but they were $70. I bought some once for my old Taurus and they were $20 for all for shipped.

Also, your vids dont seem to work. The pictures are awesome, but do ya have any of the switch? Im just curious to see what that looks like.

Car's twin? I see a relative...but no twin

Hmm, at the moment I can get the 3rd video going (downloaded and played it, here in England) but can't get the first two. I haven't checked my servers in like a year, so I'll need to go through and see what's up.

Don't have any pictures of the switch, but it looks identical to the stock switch, except where that blank spot is there's a rocker switch as well to control the folding.

Clears also came from Paradox. Relatively, they're kind of expensive, but not too bad. You have to remember that this is a car with virtually no (cosmetic/exterior) aftermarket, so anything you do find generally costs more. I spent a small fortune on my front and rear lip kits, mirrors, spoiler, double din dash kit, etc.

Fortunately most of the Maxima stuff works that isn't cosmetic/exterior, so suspension/spacers/brake upgrades are pretty easy to do.

And then anything that doesn't exist I just custom-make
