Title: Dumb question - Installing LHD folding mirrors in a RHD MK6 Golf
Post by: Degudodger on March 27, 2015, 12:41:12 pm

This might be one for @Eddie-NL (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2345).

I have some LHD folding mirrors from a LHD 2011 Golf with controllers 5K0959793 & 5K0959792 and completely overlooked whether I will need to do anything to install into a RHD Mk6 Golf. Searching the internet seems to suggest that apart from coding it is pretty much plug and play. With that said I have also found a couple of posts on other forums were they stated two wires need to be swapped round but I can not for the life of me find the posts!

Usually the folding motor wires pins 15 and 16 which are blue and pink need swapping over. Signals are opposite in LHD vs RHD.

Yep.. Was off the top of my head but colours are right.

Swap and you'll be good to go all being well :happy2:
