MAPLIGHT MIRROR for CONVERTIBLES

[Justin B]

If you want to spend a little bit longer, you dont have to splice anything for the convertibles. I have done the same thing and actually made up a little wiring harness for it.

This is what I did.

The two plugs that I am holding are the mirror's leads, then they plug into the bottom of the Y harness that I made. To go between the original maplight which is right there on verts, and the rest of the harness. Works great.



One question though, When I did mine, it was really really loose. I ended up stiffening it up a little by putting a piece of thin cardboard at the bottom of the cup in the mirror but I cannot use the day/night switch on the bottom as it will just adjust the mirror instead. The ball on the 'vert mirror vs the maplight mirror was actually noticeably slightly smaller causing this problem. Did any of this happen to you? I'm kinda bummed that my mirror is pretty loose. It will generally hold its position unless its over a really bumpy road but I have to manually adjust it if I don't want glare at night

I'm going to do this mod in the spring.

There you go! Finally, someone with some imagination, and who is not afraid to try something new.

Well, I wanted one for my 92 mtch2 vert and yes, I know they dont make them for the vert. But after looking at the vert mirror and the maplight mirror, they have the same " knuckle ball" joint. So I swapped the mirror bases, drilled a hole, and rewired the hot and cold. Not too shabby for a first try. Gonna mount it in my vert this weekend and run a line to power the lights.
