I don't think so. Mirror size for the 2013-2016 is a bit wider*--about 1-1/2". [EDIT] * U.S. models only. [end EDIT]

Great! Love mine and they are still going strong. Make sure you splice/tape the wires good and snug. My passenger wire came loose a bit and I had to mend.

Contacted Rin for these bad boys. Got them in a week and immediately installed them the same day they arrived. It was very easy, took me like 15 minutes for both sides. I just T-tap connected the signal wires, plugged in the heater wires,and popped them back in place. Hit my hazard switch to ensure they work. The polarized blue makes a huge difference. You can definitely see better in the day. I would definitely recommend these over the T1R's just because I love the amber arrow lights embedded behind the mirror.

Bringing this thread back to life real quick because I just ordered these.
Does anyone have a recommended length to cut the supplied wire? That way I'm not cutting too short, or too long to fit inside the mirror housing?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Wouldn't this depend on how you route the wires? Pull all the wire through make sure you leave enough for any place it has to bend and enough in case you have to work on it in the future make the best most water tight connections you can. Solder and heat shrink are your friends. Make sure wire is not tight anywhere so heat and cold do not break connections or damage wires.

Do your heated mirrors still work, or did your car not have them to begin with?

I just used the heated side mirrors this morning and they work but they do not heat the whole mirror. FYI it heats everything except where the LED signals are. It's still good but it just doesn't heat the whole thing due to the LEDs
Just bought my CRZ yesterday (thread in the welcome forum awaiting approval) and the first thing I did was start Googling for blind spot mirrors. Then I found this thread. I'm definitely going to do this, but I'm kinda not jazzed about the blue tint. But then again, if it helps cut down on headlight reflections, then I'm sold on the blue tint. So--does it?

I think @HondaHolly has the mirrors from the original poster's car (realtallshorty)... she might be able to answer that.
No I gave them back to RTS. She put them on her third CRZ which she has since sold 😞 No idea who owns that crz now
