mirror connector
Hi,
I have to change my side mirrors because one is badly damaged...
I bought some japanese bullet electrical mirrors (cause that's cheeeaaaaaaaap).
But in the end, the electrical connector are not the correct ones.
I had ask on my national board, apparently those connectors were almost only used in the automotive department and are not sold anymore.
My question is do you know if there are still some seller for this ?

So,ya went cheap..and it's costin ya,huh?(j/k!)
a couple suggestions:
1: find the mate to the New connector.
2: hardwire the new mirrors in(cut connectors off and solder wires together).
3: use the old connector on the new mirrors.That way they just plug in to your car.

it's not really costing me
the two mirrors completely new+shipping costed me 200 in total... which cheaper than 1mirror in good condition (and i bought one and it was already broken when i received it...)
for your proposal:
1: that's what i will do if i cant find the connector (and do a sort of lead with all connector on one end and the new one on the other one is order to be able to put back the original mirrors if needed.
2: not really fan of hardwiring when there was a connector in place originally...
3: i'd like to avoid this in order to keep my old mirrors as close to original as possible.
so basically i will go for solution 1 if i can't find the connectors for sure. But if those connectors still exists, i'd like to pick some.
PS: is it just me or the board is not working well those days ?
