Power Mirrors and Dome Light

[wxyzfactor]

Hello, going to pick and pull to pull out these parts, dome light and power mirrors. Does anyone know all the things I have to get to install it in my car? I have a 1988 L. Also, once I get them does anyone know how to install them? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Power mirrors - grab the wiring inside the door, and the Triangle Inner Plastic Things that cover the screws for the mirror. Also grab the switch.

Dome light - if it's a Festiva one, just grab the light, if it's a different one, some modifications are required.

Make sure you get the screws for the power mirrors too as they are different from those for the manual mirrors.

If you're pulling the dome light from an early Tracer or 323 it should be "plug 'n' play". If the wiring harness plugs directly into the light you just need the light otherwise you'll need to cut a short length of the wiring harness as well.

Good luck

also your 88 won't be plug and play for the power mirrors. you might wanna grab the whole dash harness (cleanest install) or get a evtm and try to figure out the wiring yourself.

that depends. My 88 has all the connection for power mirrors. The very early 88's don't seem to, unless you have a factory rear window defroster.

Yes, my 1988 L has a rear window defroster. Tim, fastivaca, aithanmier, FB71, thank you for the advice.

I've seen a late '89 (mfg August of 89 or so) with no wiring for goodies or anything.

Who knows why some do/don't have the wiring.
