Gentex GENK3 Auto-dimming Mirror w/ lamps installation.
Gentex GENK3 Auto-dimming mirror with lamps.
I upgraded my OEM mirror w/ lamp to a Gentex GENK3 mirror. Installation was pretty simple. You can use the same wiring harness already connected to your OEM lamp. All I needed to do was add a new wire to add accessory power for the auto-dimming function. Here are the steps and pics I took during installation.
The first pictue is of the original wiring harness. The second pic shows the new wire I added for accessory power. I used the red/black power included with the GENK3 mirror. I purchased an "add-a-circuit" mini fuseholder and installed it on port 21 (center console) with a 10amp fuse.
I opened the A-pillar on the front passenger side and ran the wire down and across the glove compartment to the fuse box. Crimped the wires together and installation is complete!
The mirror can be purchased easily at ebay between $80 to $100. Hope you find this helpful!

ng,
mirror looks exactly just like the first pic I posted on this thread. I know gentex offers other options (temp, compass, homelink, etc) but I dont know how wiring is on the other mirrors. The mirror I have only has lamps and auto-dimming option.
