I have a 1998 Tin Top & 2000 Soft Top
Can I put 2008+ side mirrors on them ? If so what's involved ?
I want those flashy covers with lights in the back.

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

You mean the covers that come from China with the indicator lights in them

Yep,
It's a matter of perspective: in "the back" if your looking at them from the drivers seat, or from "the front" if your looking at the car head on.

So,
Back to the question, can you update the mirrors ?

Back to the answer then if they are the same size then yes they will just clip on .then it would be a case of wiring them in maybe to the side indicator on the wing send a pic of the ones you are looking at.

I was under the impression that Jimny mirrors are the same shape 1999 to 2018 and only varied with color.
Mine are heated but I have noticed this is an extra elsewhere but Norwegian standard. (on mostly all cars)

Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.
