Highlights:
- The mirrors WILL fit WITHOUT any modifications.
- It IS a direct replacement.
- The wiring IS IDENTICAL to the North American Counterpart and the power controls work flawlessly.
Details:
The wiring harness is a direct fit for the 05-06 Altima. I’ve read that the 02-04 Altimas have slightly different harnesses, so the harness will require modifications for 02-04 Altimas ONLY.
The folding mirrors are noticeably heavier than the standard non-folding mirrors. Just to get a feel for it, I would say that the folding mirror weighs as much as one and a half times the weight of the non-folding mirror.
The folding mirror appears to be of a much higher quality than the standard mirror (although there is one minor aesthetic flaw which I will mention later). The reflection in the mirrors seems to be a bit easier on the eyes. It’s almost like there’s an anti-glare coating on it. The power mechanisms sound a lot more expensive. The plastic used to make the mirror also seems to be of a higher quality.
The one aesthetic flaw that I found was the felt material that is used to cushion between the folding parts. The felt is slightly exposed even when the mirrors aren’t folded. This is only noticeable if you look up close, otherwise, it can easily be disregarded.
Also, I’m not sure if it was intentional, but the Arabic writing (which btw I think is really cool) on the passenger mirror is printed crooked, but maybe it’s to compensate for the angle that the mirrors will be at when they are mounted.
Another drawback is that they will probably be expensive to paint. I can only imagine what a nightmare the prep work would be. For the record, I don’t think the white Altimas could get away without painting them. They seem to be a different shade but I could be wrong.
Lastly, here are the confirmed part numbers for the mirrors:
- Passenger side (RH): 96301-ZB600
- Driver side (LH): 96302-ZB600
