LC/RC frameless rearview mirror retrofitted

[ahmed24]

This is a mod I did a few months ago but never got round to posting. The LC and RC/f comes with Lexus's new completely frameless rearview mirror. They look really cool and I was on the lookout for one.

Brand new, these mirrors are a few hundred pounds. To get them second-hand, it will need to come from a Toyota Mirai, Lexus LC or Lexus RC as these are the only 3 cars that this mirror comes on. So to find a Lexus LC or Toyota Mirai second hand part will be near impossible. Luckily I managed to find one from a Rcf and got it for an absolute steal for £31 including free next day DPD delivery. Below are some pictures of the project and a video at the end. It's quite difficult to take pictures of a mirror so the video probably shows it better.

I had to purchase a trim cover for the connector from a Lexus LC which I then had to modify to make it fit. The mirror is not directly plug & play but the wiring is the same so all I needed to do was de-pin the OEM connector from my original mirror and transfer it over. There is a +12v ignition, ground and the antiglare EC+ and EC- connections.
