Wing Mirror (Right) for BYD e3 & e2, OE 12959313-00

This is the right hand mirror. Sides are named from the driver's seat facing forward, so on a right hand drive car the right hand mirror is the driver's mirror, and on a left hand drive car it is the passenger's. Standing in front of the car and looking at it, the right hand mirror is the one on your left. Check which one you are replacing before you order, and remember that the left hand mirror is a separate reference. This listing is for the right side only.

Mirrors are frequently quoted under a supplier reference. This one is listed as OE number 12959313-00 and also known as ELEC-8202109B, and both point at the same right hand mirror. Any marking on the old unit is usually on the back of the housing or on a label inside the mounting foot, so look there once it is off the door. If your number matches neither, send it with a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route. Mirror specifications differ within the same model, so a check first saves a wasted fitting.

The delivery time is 8 to 28 days, from order to door. A missing or hanging mirror affects whether the car is legal to drive, so order as soon as you know the reference and do not wait for a workshop slot. When you contact us about the order, quote the OE number and the side, since those two details together identify exactly what you are waiting for.

This mirror housing is made of plastic. That keeps the weight down on a part cantilevered off the door, which matters for the mounting, and it means the housing will not corrode. It also means the housing will crack rather than bend if the mirror takes a knock or if it is forced onto a mounting that is not aligned. Offer it up and check the fit before tightening anything. Look at how the old mirror is attached, including the fixings and the wiring behind it, before you start work.

The colour of this mirror is black. On a car whose mirrors were finished in body colour, the part as supplied will not match the paintwork and would need finishing by a body shop before it looks right. On a car with black mirrors it should suit as it comes. The delivery time is 8 to 28 days, from order to door.

This mirror is listed in one version. The Original/Genuine part carries the BYD name and no Aftermarket alternative is offered for OE number 12959313-00, so you will see a single tier here. Mirrors vary by what is built into them, so a substitute that looks identical may not have the same connections behind the housing. If you are comparing an offer from elsewhere, compare the OE marking and the plug arrangement instead of the outward shape, and use the quote route if you would like the reference checked.
