Post up a picture of the wire diagram and your relay setup for the mirrors when you get them running. We have all been waiting for a write up.

Guys, Here you go:

The floor light under the side mirrors turns on when the door opens. But forgot to take a picture of it that night.

Any chance your going to hook us up with a wiring diagram for the pcb you made ? There have only been a select few that made them work over the years and no one has posted a how to. Please

Each stock folding mirror has 4 wires to control the open and close. Connect two of them will open and two others will close. Both open and close automatically stops and cut the circuit when the position is reached. Usually when you bid the whole mirror set, they will have the mirror control relay box comes with it. I don't have one so I need to create my own. The control box is just to turn the switch into a one-touch button control so that I can use one of the Lexus genuine one-touch button to control it. Without the control box, it still work by connecting the wires with a double connector switch.

If you are interested, I can post the circuit diagram of the PCB next time.

We are intrested in the diagram. The auctions ive been looking at with the switch and relay box, look like they have quite a few wires.

Oh and another question I just thought of. Do you know if the JDM mirror glass and USDM can be swapped ? I like having the objects in mirror are closer than they appear.

Yes, the JDM mirror glass can be installed to the stock mirrors. I think you will get what you need. If not, you can already swap your existing mirrors.
