Zredsox;
In your post "Installing Turn Signal Mirrors on 2006 Azera" you provided some excellent photos of how to do the job.
I believe you said you had a Limited and not an Ultimate model. I did not see a picture of the driver's door mirror control. Did your car have the switch that makes the mirrors do a power fold-in? Or did your installation not include that feature? I would like the heated, power fold-in and the turn signals incorporated in my 2007 Limited. Is that feasible? Or am I just limited to the turn signal feature?

As the pictures show, the install is very easy.
My car is a 2006 Azera Limited with the Ultimate Packaqe, so the original mirrors did fold in, were heated and would wink at any blonde that pulled up beside me. The only thing the 2006 original mirrors didn't have was the turn signal built into the face of the mirror housing. The replacement mirrors have all the capabilities of the original mirrors plus the turn signal built in and the smoke release nozzle. So, now I have an answer when someone asks me, "How's that done?"

Bob, don't get me wrong, I like the visors, I tried two of them from Weather Tech. But I had both of them snap on the front windows in the upper corners when I put the windows up. I even ground the ends to half their thickness on the second order to help reduce the effect of the window coming up against them. It didn't work. Plus, the whole point of the visors in the rear windows was missed when the glass was lowered an inch or two. That little bit of angled window, what 5 or 6 in, was open to the elements, rain etc. I really wanted mine to work too. It was the first mod I did/tried to do to my 06 Zerra. Weather Tech was good on my refund. I liked your pic's.

Seems I read a post (probably yours) someplace in the past about the problem you describe of the plastic flanges snapping. Fortunately, I didn't have that problem, they went in pretty easy and so far, have had no problem with the windows being lowered and raised. I agree with you on the rear window visors. I noticed that when I had installed the AVS stick on visors that when the rear windows are lowered there is a gap between the glass and window frame towards the rear. But, when I ordered the Weather Techs, I went ahead and ordered front and rear because although I knew that problem exists with the rear windows, I thought it would look weird with the vent visors only in place over the front door windows ... so I went ahead and spent the money just for the matching looks pretty much. Thanks for the kind words on the photos, I appreciate that.

Rear light strip

Has anyone replaced the rear taillight strip with the azera letters (between the taillights) with an Azera "Grandeur" LED light strip? I am interested in turning this strip into a LED light strip but I want to keep the Azera letters. Does anyone know if the "guts" of the Grandeur strip can be removed and put into the Azera strip that came on the car?

You might be better served by removing the Azera strip and drilling holes in the back side of it and inserting LEDS and securing them with clear silicone, then you could just tie it into the wiring from one of the tail lights. Just a suggestion that would save you a lot of money compared to buying a strip just for the "guts".

Thank you for your suggestion. Do you know where led light strips can be purchased? Do you know if the back of that strip is closed or not? The Grandeur strip appears to be open.

I know that I've seen LED strips being sold at AutoZone, check there. If not...look onlinse and I'm sure you'll find a few sites taht sell them.
I haven't had that strip off myself, but it looks like it should come off pretty easily.
Good luck and post any results you come up with.

I bought the same one's from weather tech a few months ago. I was a bit leary since they only came in light, but since I have a black car with tinted windows, it actually looks really nice, you almost cant tell they are there.

I'm assuming that when you say you have tinted windows, they are "after market" tint. I'd like to get mine tinted also, but here in NY we are pretty limited on the amount the windows can be tinted. Having a black car, like you, I think it would look nice. Do you happen to have any photos of your car? I like the Weather Tech visors and the way they look on the car very much. Hey ... do you work at the White House?
