I found this thread while looking to see if I could get the auto dimming feature swapped over to the LC. Reviving thread to see if anyone has been able to accomplish this. I wouldn't care about the power folding, just everything else.
Another bump to check if anyone's had success?
I may be trying this soon. Found a wrecked LX near me and need some extra clearance between my garage door entrance and lift post.

Has anybody been able to install the power folding mirrors on an LC? I have a garage with single doors for ever stall and they are extremely compact.
The mirrors are like whiskers on a cat. They will let you know if you are going to get in or out before you are scraping metal.

I just grabbed a 2001 LX Junction Controller (above the radio) and side mirror module in the left door from the auto wreckers with a ton of other parts as a package deal. I wonder if the harness and plug is in the LC door to make this plug and play...
Let me know.... if you have success, I’ll head back to the wreckers for more parts...

That project is about the lowest on the list. I just grabbed them because it was something I wanted to check out one day for compatibility. Maybe someone here has had their door panel off and seen if the plug/harness is just hanging there for the mirror control module on the left hand front door.
Hmmmm, interesting. I wasn't aware that the power folding mirrors and auto dimming mirrors functions were exclusive to the LX in the US. I don't use the power fold option a ton, but it's nice when needed. But I love the auto dimming mirrors. Whenever I have to drive the GF's car at night, I hate it! I honestly wasn't to keen on buying an LX when I was looking for a 100 series, but the longer I hav eit and more I learn about the differences between it and the LC, the more happy I am about my purchase 
Hi !, Did somebody find out if? : did we need to buy only LX470 same era retractable Mirror and relay inside driver's door? ( at least for retractable i know i know ) ,just because here where i live my HDJ100 causes me trouble when need to park/stop and manually fold for parking..i don't need heated ( I live in Costa Rica ).
My JDM land cruiser has power folding mirrors that do not mirror down on reverse.
Mine it's general countries HDJ100L-GNAEZ , but hasn't this feature, has cooler, Power lock diff and AHC, but i really need that, i'm going to dive into trying this, i read somebody "that's attached to tilt-electric steering" so, mine has that feature, risk at all or lose at all..regards.
I have done the driver's door mirror only at this point on my '99 LC. You just need the equivalent LX mirror. I have wired the passenger door, so I am just waiting on the correct color passenger mirror. You don't need the relay in the door for retractable only. You only need the mirror switch with the retractable button; my LC already had the connector in the dash for this to plug into. Then you run 2 wires from the plug that the mirror plugs into at the top of the door along the existing wire harness into the LC and into the connector that plugs into the footwell. The adapter for the wires will be empty for your LC, so you are just adding the 2 wires at each end of the plug in order for the button to work to retract. I forget the pin out numbers, but I can look next time I have the door panel off and the kick panel out if you want.
You just need to purchase the LX mirror control with the retract button as well as LX driver and passenger mirrors with power folding. Then 2 wires at each door from the mirror plug to the footwell plug.
Hey Benny
My JDM mirrors will not go down in reverse if the toggle for the mirrors is in between L and R. If I move it to one or the other, they will move down. Try that.
I almost forget it :
But now i believe this is the list , without wiring :
( Mine it's 2007 ) :
89430-60040 --mirror computer
84870-60080 --mirror adjusting switch
?/? -- left side driver mirror
?/? --right side driver mirror.
Thank you for your post.
I don't have electric tilt steering either. It's a button next to the power mirror adjustment. I think it is tied to that. If the mirror isn't fully extended or locked into the folding mechanism the remote mirror adjustment doesn't work either.
Noted , really interesting thing, luckily I've own that configuration, but for other people perhaps would be discomforting ( Electric tilt Steering must be for power fold "improvement" ).
Regards friends.
It turns out that I have all of the LX wiring and switching parts including a working set of mirrors. I really only need retractable mirrors for driving down narrow heavily wooded fire roads. I could care less about reverse mirrors. Since this looks to be feasible, I think I will try it this spring.
Trying to revive the thread. I just got an 05 LC and wanted to retro a power folding mirror. Do I just need the side mirror with motor and the switch or is there anything else I need to get? Im looking at an LX thats being part out. Thanks.
