- Auto-Dimming Mirror as viewed from the Front
- Auto-Dimming Mirror as viewed from the Back
- Uninstall old mirror by rotating it clockwise for approximately 30 degrees.
- Pop out Overhead Cover that houses the Sunroof motor and reading lights
- Since the auto-dimming mirror I got did not come with connecting ends, I need to do some wire splicing.
- Locate an unused wiring harness with yellow male connector. This connector has 3 wires: green/red stripe ([+] supply), brown, & blue
- Prepare 3 wires to serve as your wiring harness to your auto-dimming mirror, preferably with 3 different colors. I choose a #18gauge wire (I think), green, brown, and blue.
- Take the existing harness, cut open a little section of each wire's jacket (approx 1/8") with a sharp utility knife to expose the wires bare.
- Splice each wire, solder, and each wrap with electrical tape
- Fed your new wiring harness through above the reading lights, into the liner towards the windshield glass (this will make it clean and out of sight)
- Secure all wires back in place
- Position Auto-Dimming Mirror approximately 30 degrees, align with base holder, and rotate counter-clockwise in place
- New Auto-Dimming in place
- Turn ignition on and test
- This auto-dimming mirror came with 2 sensors: 1 in front, and 1 at the back
- Cover the back sensor with your fingers and observe the mirror darken
