I know they're on ebay from time to time...but anybody tried a set they found to be straight plug and play. Meaning no hacking and mixing parts from mirrors, or wiring? I'm looking for the type with no led.
Like I said I seem em, but with some of em just don't know what I'd be getting into if I bought em. Need for my s14
Thanks for sharing any info

Even with REAl Ganadors you have to splice wires. The plugs are different in the Japanese cars.
Go big or go home.

And soldering isn't hard.

you could buy my ganador "style" ones check the for sale section son
and ganador is pretty much the only aftermarket that still retains the power

you could find another set of junk mirrors and splice that harness to your replica ganador mirrors. That way you dont have to destroy your oem harness

Just forget wiring and adjust them with your hand for that price. The knockoffs are plaguing ebay and many do not contain the word "style" leading many to believe they are real (mainly in australia), and the picture is so crappy its hard to tell that they do not fold in. You could buy them and laugh at them but you would still be short $100 towards the real thing.

Oh I said style cause the price shows their knockoffs lol. yeah wiring might night be bad.. I've attempted before with fog lights sucessfully, but was trying to take lazy way out lol.
Oh yeah soapgun I'm s14 not s13..I know the name throws ppl off lol.
Alright so aside from the wiring, are the bases pretty much direct fit. Saw one set of ganador styles fs on here (old fs thread), and the person was selling because the new mirrors required them to take the rubber trim off the stock mirrors and put the ganador type??? I dunno if that ruins the chances of being able to use them on the stock mirrors again or what. I was under the impression mirrors come with their own bolt on base.

I had a set of the knockoffs... they suck. They are a generic mirror with changable bases for the specific car that just screws on. There was no metal base like the stock mirrors. The glass was stuck on the actuator with doublesided tape.
JUNK....
