    I have a 96 civic lxi, gusto ko sana ipa-convert to power ung side mirrors nya. Does anyone know where I can go to get a one-stop solution? Meaning, the shop has to have surplus power side mirrors for my car's make and model, the expertise to install it like stock, and won't charge me an arm and a leg for it. Your help is very much appreciated! Thanks.

    hmmmm.... you have to find a replacement sidemirror assemby with motors for your left and right side mirrors. yun sa kin kasi built in na yun power side mirrors. alam ko around 7500 presyo isa.

    after that you need to get the switch and wiring. then hahanapan pa yan ng paglalagyan sa dashboard or kung saan mo gusto ilagay. medyo matrabaho yun pagwire saka pagmount nung switch

    7500 bawat isa? Wow! That would definitely cost both your arms and legs. Are these brand new? Surplus parts for your ride are scarce and difficult to find.
    Considering the ease of use it will give you, I guess you have to make a choice between that and the cost.

    TS: i have corolla xl before at naisipan ko na rin ang gaya ng gusto mo, hirap kasi mag park without the side mirror adjusted, baka magasgas pa ang mags. punta ko dati sa evangelista, for corolla may 5K (pares na yun, replacement, taiwan) pero di ko gusto quality. yung mga surplus ang problema naman is iba ang angle kasi nga right hand drive ang pinanggalingan, pero kaya daw nila remedyohan. i would suggest kung kaya na, upgrade ka na lang sa VTi.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Meron sa Banawe (nankai), estimate nila 5k using surplus Japan... Baka lang kse may alam kayong iba na mas mura. Anyway, I'm still thinking about it if I wanna go thru with it or just sell my car and get something else. Thanks again!

    bakit mo kelangan ibenta sasakyan mo kung ang problem mo lang is yung side mirror mo? anong bibilhin mo civic din na vti/vtec? hindi kaya mas mapamahal ka pa nyan? for me i would rather repair it for 5k than to sell my car if thats the only problem you got.. anyway its up to you afterall

    check mo sa hcp selling section. may nakita ako doon one time nasa 3500 lang yung pair power sidemirrors. sipagan mo lang maghanap. pakabit mo na lang sa banawe or suking auto-electric shop. hth

    TS: bawiin ko lang yung advise ko na mag upgrade ka na lang. basically pala ang kaibahan lang vti sa lxi is engine, power side mirrors and antenna.

Convert to power side mirrors
