Re: Japan Camry Accessories
Thanks HybridAri !
I wonder if the mirrors are still power and have the heaters in them? I wonder if the wiring is inplace for the turns (on Japan made models). I also wonder if they fold since I didn't notice any other mirrors on the page - but then I cant read Japanese either (good thing for photos!).
Gee, I wonder a lot!!!

Re: Japan Camry Accessories
Quick (somewhat accurate) translation of the mirror page:
Door mirror with attached side turn lamp.
For vehicle dress up (of course), cover visibility of right and left fold time conforms to safety standards.
[I'm not really sure about this sentence (especially this part: 折時 which I interpreted as fold time)]
Color: Corresponds to all body colors,
* Brightness of photograph differs from actual.
32,550 yen [~$273] (31,000 yen [~$260] without tax)
* Option may not be applicable to all vehicle types.
* Price does not include installation. Manufacturer's recommended price is a reference. Tax exluded price is inside ().
* Actual color may differ from vehicle color.
* Price is as of January 2006 and is subject to change without prior notice.

Re: Japan Camry Accessories
Love the look of the Australian interior. I really wanted something darker than ash for my interior. It's unfortunate Toyota only offered the darker interior on the SE model here in the USA.
I also love the mirror's with the turn signals. As mentioned before I wonder if those mirrors still have the heating element and what extra wiring needs to be done for the turn signal...

Re: Japan Camry Accessories
Well, I took the plunge... I went ahead and ordered the mirrors
Cost: A little over $400
Delivery time (from Japan): 6-8 weeks!
I contacted the dealer in CA (Carson Toyota) that is selling these and asked the questions all of us have. According to them, the mirrors have all the options built into them that would normally come with a fully loaded Camry (as far as the mirrors are concerned). Wired for power, pre-painted to your car color (must specify), heated, AND suppose to be "plug-n-play" for the turn signal option (if your car was made in Japan).
Also, (Gee - there's more!?) YES! These fold in! I was curious about the power fold mention but who knows. Maybe when the car is shut off they fold in automatically?
All this according to the dealer (which seemed VERY knowledgable about them). But, we also know how dealers can be
They say it should be a very simple swap - unplug one and plug the new one in (I dunno about all that though...).
So, we'll see what happens in 6-8 weeks and I'll report back.

Re: Japan Camry Accessories
it looked to me as though the mirrors adjusted to point down a little when shifting into reverse. this would be a cool feature! keep us posted.....I may take the plunge too. my tch is japanese also.

Re: Japan Camry Accessories
Here is a link to a google translation of the page that shows the mirror folding and moving when in reverse...

Not sure what the prices are for or if these are features for the mirrors that meerkat ordered
