Hi All,

Bit of background information. I have a 1991 RS which was an export model, so comes with electric fold away plastic mirrors. I've always wanted the standard metal aero style mirrors.

Can you swap a set of mirrors from a Pontiac Firebird on to a Camaro? I'm going to assume the bolt holes for these plastic mirrors will be the same as the standard ones, I just need to know if those from a Firebird are the same as the ones on a Camaro. It's much easier to find electric mirrors for a Firebird than a Camaro.

Cheers all,

Andy

The doors are the same so I would figure the mirrors are as well.

Mirrors are the same. Power mirror harness and switch are different, everything else is the same

Cheers for the replies guys!

Can I assume it'll just be a case of splicing the existing wires to the new mirrors then?

Not overly fussed about them working. Got to admit for the last three years I've owned the car I don't remember touching them!

No, not even that big a deal. The connectors at the door are the same, it's all plug and play.
I should have been clearer in saying that the control switches and where the switches connect to the harness are different between firebird and camaro.

Brilliant, thank you for that!

I shall go ahead and get these other mirrors and have a play.

Thanks all!

FWIW, on many electrical connectors you can remove each wire via a small tab so you may not have to splice the wiring. It's called "repinning a connector" if you want to google it.

When you buy the used mirrors make sure the gasket interface is in good condition. I don't know what you have but it may be shaped differently as well.
