Hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone knew if we could get the Side Mirror Indicator Covers for the ZRE Corolla Hatch. Or atleast if anyone knew if for example, maybe the Hilux / or even corolla sedan (ZRE) mirror covers would fit the ZRE Hatch. Been searching around, and the closest thing i could find was the corolla sedan mirror covers on ebay from the US. But i am not sure whether they are the same size or even if they will fit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.

If I go by what I have done on my Nissan, I had to pop the mirror lens off to get the cover off of the mirror housing, so are you saying it's the same on the ZRE?

I would also need to remove the door lining to run the wires through to the fender indicators, so will have to experiment a bit and see how many screws are there that hold the door lining in place.

It would have been good to have the service manual handy for the ZRE, but I guess I will try and figure it out as I go.....as I have done with my other cars ;)

Hi Charlie,

No I didn't, but I found some cool installation manuals there. Thanks for the link.

P.S. The service manual seems to be under the "paid" section.

i dont know about the mirror lens. but i know the body coloured cover, facing towards the front of the car, is easy to take it, just pry off with your hands.

but good luck with the install. hope all goes well.

Hi Guys,

Operation LED Mirror Covers for the ZRE was a 100% success and it wasn't any diffirent to the way I fitted these LED Mirror covers to other Nissan's apart from removing/unclipping the factory covers from the outside as rez mentioned.

They have been colour coded to match my Wildfire ZRE and are working perfectly well.

I will take pics when I wash the car, as I don't like to share pics of dirty rides LOL :)

Will also take daytime and night-time shots for you all.

These mirror covers are a direct replacement of the factory housing cover and have integrated (built-in) LED module in them which light-up when you signal to turn and are visible from the front, side and rear of the car. For someone driving behind you, they will see the edge of the mirror flashing amber indicating a turn.

Fitting them was quite easy, well, for me anyway, as I have done similar mods on many Nissan X-Trails.

You just need to pop the factory covers off, then remove the door lining (held by 2 screws only), unplug the wiring that goes to the window motors and then unclip the corner tweeter from its place.

Once that done, you will see 3 nuts holding the mirror base to the door, remove them and unplug the mirror wiring harness and the whole mirror housing will be in your hands. Turn it upside down and you will see 3 torx screws which you need to remove as well. Once that done, you can start feeding the wires of the LED mirror cover to follow the existing wiring of the mirror. Put the mirror back in place and then attach it to the door of the car.

Once that done, feed the wires through to the fender indicator and splice the wiring of the indicator to give power to the LED mirror covers.

Test the operation of the LED covers by turning the hazards on and enjoy watching them flash.

That's about it.

I think I've seen these LED Mirror Covers on the Aurion and I reckon they're exactly the same shape and size as the ZRE. (to be confirmed)

Tomorrow, I will post pics of them operating in daytime.

Group-Buy Guys? hehehehe :)

Hi Guys,

The cost was $199.00/set (unpainted) and I had them colour-coded locally for $35.00

As I deal with many manufacturers overseas being an Nissan X-Trail fanatic, I approached one of the manufacturers in Taiwan who previously sent me the xtrail mirror covers and sure enough, they had ones for the ZRE which they asked me to try.

I will check if they make them for the 2005 model.

If you're interested in acquiring a set of these LED Mirror Covers, drop me a PM.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
