Would the 2009 facelift LED wing mirror's fit?
I have autofolding heated wing mirror's on my 2008,but would the newer facelift 2009 LED mirror's be a direct swap for mine or would more coding/mod's be required?

Since you use the term wing mirrors, I assume you are in the UK?

Thank you for your reply,yes i'm in the UK and my mirror's already autofold via my keyfob,I only want to change as the original mirror's are so damn big and ugly,the facelift one's seem smaller and have the added bonus of being LED.I'm going to go ahead and buy them then!
You can install them yourself by removing a couple of panels without taking the entire door panel off.

Were these new or used? The price is very good and a lot less than I paid for a new pair.

Hello,they are used but in fantastic condition,thank you for letting me know that I could fold these back out without damaging them,just have to wait for my car to come back from the bodyshop before fitting them.

My replacement mirrors came from Amsterdam and had convex mirrors on both sides. I couldn't tolerate this on the driver's side so bought a flat glass from my dealer for a huge price. The total cost for the conversion was.....exciting.

Well it did'nt go as easy as I thought,the mirror's I have bought have a white and black connector and the original one's have the black and white one' as well but the white one's are connected to the module inside the door(only has two wire's which lead to a block/bid resistor type thing)the original black connector had two wire spliced into it,I will post some pic's and also the foam molding on the door where the mirror fit's is thicker so I could'nt get the new mirror to fit flush,did anyone have to modify the wiring /but some new foam insert's to get it to work?

Here are pic's:-
1)Picture of both type's of connector's,the white and black are the new led facelift connector's and the black only(note the extra two spliced wire's)are from the old one.
2)Door module showing wiring of existing mirror's,note the white connector is going to some sort of box as is the two extra wire's coming off the black connector,it could be that the newer mirror's has the module built in?
Look's like i'll have to get rid of the foam on the new mirror's as it does'nt match with the door one's,anyone who did this swap ever run into this wiring problem?

Remove the wiring and the motor from the old mirror and install it to the new one its easy. You must buy the foam from dealer for facelift mirrors

Mirrors have two foam, one is on the mirror and one on the door,if you buy used facelift mirrors, you must change the door foam, to fit them, because most seller dont sent the door foam, the cost is low its about 6$ each.
