How to: Auto closing side mirrors.

[hefraz]

Could anyone advise me on how I could wire or "add on" something that will make my side mirrors open when I switch on the engine and close when I switch off..

found this cool video on youtube which illustrates what I'm talking about

i heard some people manage to do it with mitsu side mirror and the side mirror relay.

but, for mitsu case, they advise not to do that because of wear and tear on the open/close gears.

there are even people using nissan side mirrors paired with the mitsu switch and relay just for the purpose of doing what you plan to do :)

My thinking....:stupid::hmmmm::hmmmm:

The motor gear for side mirror not to develop 4 many times close & open same like power window gear. Think like this every day we should to on & off engine 10 x, so the side mirror oso, posibility the gear to wear & tear quit fast.

Only my thinking not to advice....please advice me if wrong....sorry broken english....newbie
