Default Auto Folding Mirrors on Double Locking

Hi

Just had fitted Auto Folding Mirrors Module so that they Fold on Double Locking and a Leaper fitted to the mesh upper grill also Led Side Light bulbs and extra brilliance bulbs on dipped beam (Halfords) might try Osram Night Breaker on all 4 headlights.

Regards
Tom

for the same price of Osram Night Breaker bulbs you could do a HID upgrade.
Just an idea i have Night Breakers installed in mine and like them but thinking of going HID myself with LED fogs.

Here's an article about how to get the mirrors to autofold on cars without memory seats, no programming needed but you do need to know how to wire things as you need to add wiring and a relay.

Hi Martin


It was good of you to put the Thread showing the wiring for auto folding mirrors for non memory seats onto this Page { my car has memory seats which is slightly different ,the wire connected to yellow/black on the connector above the Gas Pedal comes down and along the floor and up under the Drivers Memory Seat where the other cables on the Module are connected too and the Module is secured under the Seat }


Regards
Tom

Hi Paul


I've read on some forums that if you have Problems with HID Headlights they can be a Pain, and it's easier to replace a Nightbreaker Bulb than HID's just a thought I don't know much about HID's.

Tom

The Module for Auto Fold Mirrors I got was made by Andy ( Original Caruso ) and can supply them to any X Type members who may want one and instructions are supplied.
