AUTO DIM ANTI DAZZLE REAR VIEW MIRROR retro fit
#1


HOW TO FIT AN ANTI DAZZLE REAR VIEW MIRROR.

You will Have to find a Second Hand Auto Dim Mirror on eBay
If you can get the Small Loom that Goes too the Mirror
and the Console in the Headliner with it Also as it is needed.
 
If not go to your Local Dealer and Order one as you do Need it
you wont Need the Surround as this Can not be Fitted to the Glass
Unless you Replace the Front Windscreen.  



Remove the Console from the Headliner
There are Three Panels to Take off
Then pull the Light Unit out.





You will Then see a Connector Attached to the Roof
This is the One you will Need.



Connect the new Loom to this Connector
Pull the Other end of the Loom
Through the Front of the Headliner Toward the Mirror
The Picture of the Loom Below is the One you Need
It will Have Three other Connectors on it
For the Rain and Light Sensors
That go to the Mirror Surround
As these were Not Needed i Cut them off
but you Don't have too if you Don't want to.







Remove the Plastic Cap that Covers the Mirror Screw
that hold the Mirror onto the Windscreen
Take the Screw out and Remove the Old Mirror
A Toque (T20) is Needed.





Then Refit the New Auto Dim Mirror
And Plug the Connector in Place.



You now have a Working Auto Dim Anti Dazzle rear view Mirror
so when a car Drives behind you at Night the Mirror will Darken
so you don't get Dazzled by there Bright Headlights.

This worked Plug and Play on MY11 Spec car
but Remember it only Works in the Dark
when the Sensor Activates and Turns the Mirror on.
i Believe Fuse (15) in the Rear Fuse Box
Supply's the Power for the Mirror to Work
The Three Wires are
(Positive), (Ground), (Reverse Light Positive).
If it wont Work just Ask
I know off Another way to Wire it.  



You can Add a sun Strip to the Front Windscreen
to Hide the Small Wire that will be on Show.



AS WITH ALL ELECTRICAL HOW TOO,S.
you do this at your own risk if you follow the how to correctly
there should be no problems thank you.
