I added the power folding mirror with integrated LED turn signals to my 2022 Civic Si. I had previuosly posted that I added the power folding mirror kit from Mikstore. It wasn't a fun install but it was cool to have the stock mirrors fold and unfold with the locking and unlocking of the vehicle, but I always wanted the integrated LED turn signals. When Mikstore offered the Model C, plug and play complete mirror kit, I jumped on it. A little spendy at over $700 US, but well worth it to have the LED turn signals with heat, BSM and power folding. I am jumping in to share the install with you folks, in case you are nervous about attempting the install, and to provide relevant directions for the North American Civics. My install was in my 2022 Honda Civic Si that already had Blind Spot Monitoring and heated mirrors, but may assist others with other 11th Gen models. The instructions provided by Mikstore were a little confusing, so hopefully what I attach will take the confusion out of the install.
Everything provided was OE Honda, and literally pinned in to the factory connectors, except for 2 wires that required tapping, which was super cool. It is so OE that after the install the folding mirrors show up in my settings on my center mounted dash display allowing me to turn them on or off through my head unit, again, super cool.

That's neat to hear that it's basically OE.

Mikstore is the tits.

That dinner better be great hahaha.

$700 is too much for just the power folding mirrors since the CAN spec models have everything except power...tempting but I'll have to pass haha.

Excellent instructions. I love power folding mirrors and wish my SI had it but what I don't love is messing with factory wires while the car has warranty because most dealerships are aholes. If I keep the car post warranty I will surely do this!

Milkstore stuff does look good, but seems extremely expensive. But they know people will pay to be different

Where did you get the Red Mirror Caps for your SI?

I ordered the Model "C" complete kit from the Mikstore for $650 US, and the mirror caps for another $82 US also from the Mikstore. I have the American spec Si, so I had to order mirror caps with the addition of the LED turn signals. Mikstore sells the caps in Type R red, black and carbon fiber. I appreciate the concern from others in this stream, but I have never had an issue with my dealer on my mods. This kit once installed, can be super stealth, especially at the doors, since you literally pin Honda terminals into existing connectors. Other than the instructions provided by Mikstore (which were super confusing) the kit is OE and amazing. I went through the car wash and my mirror bumped one of the drier nozzless. My mirror simply closed electronically, and one push of the fold/unfold button and it was right back. Originally, I added the folding mirror kit form Mikstore to my Si, and they worked great, but taking the mirrors apart, cutting the harness and then soldering it back together after the motors were added was a lot of work, and then I still didn't have the integrated LEDs. Nearly plug and play of the model "C" kit is well worth the money. Everything but the wiring carried a Honda part number.

Mikstore is super helpful if you hit them up on Facebook Messenger. The time zone difference can be a pain, but they will always respond, and they want you to succeed.

The PDF that I attached here, I also provided to the Mikstore, so you may see it again if you do business with them.

So I was browsing their website and it looks like for us CAN folks it's way cheaper, unless I'm misreading this? Honda Side Mirror Auto Folding Kit

This is now very tempting.

As a US sport touring owner, that’s the kit I was eyeing up last night too. I really like their OEM+ type of accessories, especially ones priced this well. Strongly considering this kit too

For Canadian owners the motor kit is all that's required. I added motors to my OE, non LED turn signal mirrors. It wasn't much fun but worked well. Taking the mirrors apart to install the motors was a pain. I paid the extra for the ease of plug and play when going to the LED mirrors.

Love it. I appreciate you posting the write up. I'm too cheap to buy the kit right now, but this info is perfect. I'm considering buying the mirror caps with light cutouts, the sequential LEDs (and wiring them to be constant) and making my own harness. I'm curious if the non-LED mirrors have any kind of mounting area for the turn signal unit or if I'll have to get creative.

I have my old mirrors still. I can pop off one of the covers and see if the plastic inner frame is set up to accept the LED turn signals. It's been a while since I took them apart to add the motors to non LED mirrors. I'm pretty sure the inner structure is different between LED and non-LED, but I'll look, and let you know.

I took my old non-LED mirror apart and there is no provision inside the mirror to mount the OE LED strip. I assuming that the lower exterior portion, under the mirror cap must carry a different part number as well as the mirror glass frame. I ordered black mirror caps for my Si (catching a lot of crap on the red ones). When I pull the red cover off of the LED mirrors I'll add photos of what's going on in it, to see the differences.

Thanks for posting those pictures. I figured there isn't a mounting point for the LEDs in our poverty spec mirrors.

I noticed some non OEM mirrors on eBay with LEDs for about $140 each. I'm sure the quality is terrible probably not worthwhile though.
