Simple bolt on install...great.

Do they have motors in them and would it work with the electrical controls in my 2005 ZHP Coupe? My mirrors broke in the 3rd most stressful cities to live in on earth and I have replaced them but the motors worked for only about 5 minutes after which they stopped. Checked wiring, fuse and they still don't work. Know why perhaps?

I want the grey ones if the motors will work.

unfortunately i cant tell you why yours may not be working. sounds like you checked all of the obvious things.

the driver side motor is a module on its own. the passenger side mirror is a slave motor. if the passenger side dies, driver side will continue to work. if the driver side dies, both mirrors will not work.

my mirrors do come with ribbon cable motors and they are tested working. they would be a straight bolt on and plug & play for your coupe.

send me a PM with your address so I can get a shipping quote if you would like the steel grey set.

The DIY for the conversion is a real PITA which makes these mirrors worth every penny!

And I can attest to what a PITA it is when the conversion isn't done right. I've been dealing with shitty alignment, non-functional adjustments, and mirror glass shaking since I bought the car 7 years ago (PO did the conversion I think). That's why I sent mine in to Shawn to get them fixed; I'm confident he can get them squared away!

Buying these, pre-modified, for this price, is a real bargain.

Yep BP, I had to take mine out a couple of times before I got them right and my mirror motors are still non functional. My driver's side had the shakes too. I had to replace the motor adapters with an aluminum ones instead of plastic...I hated this DIY

I know you had said you can convert them to fit a sedan. Does that mean that they would be a direct fit? Plug n play so to speak? Also because I don't have a button to fold them in/out, do you think I code them to fold in when I look the car, and fold out when I unlock it?

everything is finally sold. whew cant believe that took so long and had to drop the price that much. never doing that again lol. if people want these mirrors they are going to just have to build them them selves like Cak and i did.

Would you ever be willing to lend out your services to forum members in the future? For a price of course.

IIRC, he offers the service separately. He's just not going to pre-build them and stock the units.

correct, i wont do the whole keep sets in stock thing anymore. but if someone wants me to convert a set then i can do it for them.

Very interested in this - how do I go about having you convert a set for use on my sedan? (I hate the square stock mirrors)
