And some pics of what's in the package, please.

I'm not sure, but at 650-700, that's more reasonable a jump. I wish they included pictures of the interior buttons.
Any idea if these would interfere with ditch lights?
I don't know, but I doubt they would as they look to be modified factory mirrors.
@ChippiMusic, have you had any luck installing the mirrors? Also do you have any pics of what they sent and how hard is the install? I am considering getting a set.
absolutely. I'd get this!

That’s the one!
Only update I have for now is on the information front as my weekend was quite busy, I didn’t have much opportunity to make any real progress on my install. I managed to collaborate with a friend that currently works as a professor at a nearby university teaching Korean language courses. With his help I was able to send out an email to the optiglass team. Essentially, they replied with two youtube links. The first mostly detailing the physical aspects of mirror assembly removal, teardown, and eventual rebuild using the new prices in the kit. The second focuses on the wiring which turns out to to be fairly straightforward until the end where they fail to mention where the wires they splice into are located in the vehicle!
I’ll follow up with the links for you guys to see for yourself once I get home and can pull up that email.
There are no additional interior buttons. It uses a relay to fold according to lock/unlock via the oem key fob.
hey guys, my bad! Here ya go!
- Assembly Description
- Wire Connection Description
the shop I have tackling it managed to get 1 side physically fitted today, however couldn’t figure out the proper location to tap the oem wiring to actually trigger the thing to fold. Would love any input from the community as the last few seconds of the video on the electrical aspect of the install make it super unclear what those two leads tap into or even where those wires are physically located!
According to the eBay guys, they should connect to the door lock/unlock toggle switch but doing yielded no response from the motor.
That being said, I was at least able to confirm the motor itself was in working condition by applying 12v directly to the motors leads
I wouldn’t mind being able to fold them back electronically on demand while backing into garage Would save space not having that thing hanging 10 inches.

@ChippiMusic Did you have to disassemble your mirror frames or was that part already done in the kit?
If you watched the 1st video… you’d see how the entire mirror assembly is removed from the vehicle, gets stripped completely down, separated, n then built back up with all the bits getting mounted to the new metal piece contained within the kit.
UPDATE
After some troubleshooting and we were able to get everything sorted! Turns out when the car is running the fold is activated from the cabin by pushing either the lock or unlock 3x’s. When the car is off, simply locking folds and unlock / just approaching with possession of the key unfolds! Same situation when unlocking or locking with my iPhone shortcut button. Car’s down in the garage right now but I’ll shoot a quick video for everyone who’s curious.
That’s exactly why I bothered going approaching the project even though I sorta had a feeling would be a bit of an adventure trying to figure out everything without any directions
