Title: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: MyNameIsThien on February 06, 2009, 09:57:59 PM Parts Required
Tools Required:
First we start by removing the stock mirror and open it apart. 1> Pry out the cover in the picture, it is held in place by clips so gently pull it out (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5765.jpg) 2> After you remove it, this is how its gonna look (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5767.jpg) 3> Disconnect the black connector from the white socket by pressing the clip in the bottom and pulling it away (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5766.jpg) 4> Now remove the 3 bolts with 8mm socket but leave the top left one intact. The Bottom right screw needs to be removed by some pliers or small adjustably wrench cause the ratchet wont reach. From the outside of the car, gently pull out the mirror but dont pull it too hard. Also you will have to free the clips of the socket from the inside. 5> Mirror removed and ready for surgery (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5774.jpg) (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5771.jpg) 6> Remove these screws but be careful not to strip them (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5775.jpg) 7> Now cut the cable in the middle and remove the bracket from the mirror housing (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5776.jpg) 8> Hold the assembly like shown and from one corner lift up the mirror and pry it out from the clip holding it and remove the mirror (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5777.jpg) 9> Pop the silver tabs in the bottom to remove the plastic cover on the back that matches to the color of your car and completely remove the cover (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5778.jpg) 10> Remove the 3 screws and one in the bottom of the base to remove the motor and motor bracket from the shell (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5790.jpg) 11> Everything apart but dont throw anything away. Remove the white motor from the metal bracket. (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5791.jpg) 12> Do the same on the TSX's mirror but keep track of the parts. 13> Accord's bracket(left) Vs the TSX(right). You need to cut the Accord's bracket and modify it to fit the TSX shell. (http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j221/shonnv/Mirror/DSC_5792.jpg) Information was transfered from Gen7Accord.com.

Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: drey on April 01, 2009, 04:15:00 PM i love this mod. arent the coupe mirrors and sedans the same?
didnt realize there was some work involved to do this mod. now im having second thoughts... Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: LiquidX on April 01, 2009, 06:37:29 PM No the bases of the coupe and the sedan are different.
Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: drey on April 01, 2009, 08:18:17 PM so is there any modifications to hook up the tsx mirrors on the accord sedan? or is it as simple as unplugging the wires and bolting up the tsx mirrors?
Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: LiquidX on April 02, 2009, 12:26:33 AM ...
You will have to drill another hole due to different mounting bolts on the tsx, then you will have to run the led wires to your turn signals. There are diys on mounting tsx mirrors to sedans, this one is for the coupe. Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: rjp6262 on April 08, 2009, 09:08:47 PM wouldn't the tl mirrors fit on the coupe? i remember reading somewhere that the bases for the coupe and the tl were the same.
Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: LiquidX on April 09, 2009, 09:53:19 AM Negative, you will need to modify the bae of the tl mirrors. You have to pm thien on this one as he has done them on his coupe.

Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: jdmaccord on February 23, 2010, 02:33:18 PM hey quick question guys, will 05 hybrid mirror with led fit an 03 sedan, or any modifications?? my car is in the shop right now and will like to get this out of the way
Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: MyNameIsThien on February 23, 2010, 08:50:34 PM The 05 Hybrid mirrors will bolt up with no modifications. The wiring will require modifications though.
Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: duck17 on May 06, 2010, 03:14:05 AM what modifications need to be done to the wiring, i would assume the same as what needs to be done with the tsx mirrors
Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: Decrepti DiMarco on May 15, 2013, 06:25:27 PM i have a 2005 accord 4 door sedan, what year tsx side mirrors will fit??
Title: Re: How To: TSX Side Mirror On Coupes Post by: timot_one on May 15, 2013, 09:22:16 PM You can use the first gen TSX mirrors on your sedan. If you're interested in purchasing a set, I have some in satin silver. PM me if you're interested.
