Should have checked here before posting can't wait for your write up too furious incase I have problems haha

[Furious]

naw my install procedure is really basic. there really isnt much in the way of difficulty, even without a writeup you should be able to figure it out with no problems.

basically, take off, plug in, then put back.. lol

[jrhaile]

except when nothing fits and it's not plug and play... fuck I'm pissed off

[Cruzin 323is]

then u got a problem! lol

[jrhaile]

not the right plug and play adapters, the base mount is all fucked up and doesn't fit snug on the door. the oem screws don't fit in these holes... just a fucking nightmare. I paid good money for these from germanstuff4you.com too. Can't believe this shit.

[Furious]

yeah , maybe you got the wrong mirrors could be for a 2 door instead of 4 door

[jrhaile]

Well I fucking specifically said 4 doors like 10x to them. it's a square 4pin connection now 4 pin flat like my car needs. I'm so fed up with this that I'm ready to shoot them with my 45

[Furious]

huh? elaborate on what you mean or take pics.

[mrkbik]

I think he means that the connection for his car is 4 pins in a straight row, and the mirrors that he got have a connection where there are 2 pins on top and 2 pins on bottom.

[Furious]

oh , ouch, yeah thats the wrong plug.

[jrhaile]

yup... and then the top corners don't fit in right... they stick out by like a half an inch. no bolts/screws fit. now because they didn't fit, 2 of them are stripped. I spent almost 300 bucks for these and smoked side markers shipped. where did you get yours from furious?
