Lamborghini Power Folding Mirror Repair Kit (Billet Steel)
*** PLEASE VERIFY YOUR PLASTIC SPUR GEAR SECTION OF THE GEAR IS 30 TEETH BEFORE ORDERING *** This is a 30 Teeth gear replacement. We have seen some 27 tooth plastic gears that are much different and this will not fit that application!
You already know this because you are on this page : Lamborghini mirrors cost $5,000+, if you can even find them; and, those mirrors come with the same flawed parts that brought you here to begin with.
The factory power-folding mirrors on Lamborghini Murci and Gallardo fail because of a poorly designed plastic gear and a worn out motor. When the gear cracks or the motors wear out, dealers will charge a King's ransom for a full replacement mirror assembly. And thats if you can even find one.
GruvenParts.com provides a permanent, engineered solution: fix your own unit and upgrade it with high-strength Billet Steel gears and replacement motors designed to outlast the vehicle.

Critical Technical Note: Why the Motor Matters
You cannot simply install a metal gear onto the factory drive unit. The OEM motor circuit is not designed for a conductive metal gear; attempting to "mix and match" will short out your Body Control Module (BCM). Every GruvenParts kit includes a tested, modified OEM motor in good condition, with the external ground circuitry removed.
Choosing Your Repair Path
Path 1: DIY Gear & Motor Kit The most cost-effective choice for those comfortable with a workbench repair.
- Includes: 1 or 2 Billet Steel Gears and used but tested good OEM motors with external ground circuit removed.
- Best For: Owners looking for a permanent fix at the lowest price point.
- Compatibility: Fits 2001-2010 Murci and 2003-2008 Gallardo. Very likely other years too, please email us with specific pics of your drive unit for verification outside of these models/years.
Path 2: Pre-Assembled Drive Unit (Core Exchange)
Skip the internal assembly and swap out the entire drive unit.
- Includes: A fully rebuilt motor drive unit with the hardened steel gear and replacement used good condition motor with external ground circuit removed, already installed and tested.
- Process: Requires a $30 core deposit. Please send us your rebuildable old unit to receive your refund.
- Note: Due to high demand and core availability, lead times can vary (approx. 4–6 weeks). For the fastest turnaround, you may send your unit in for a same-day rebuild. Please check with us if you do not want to send your core ahead of time. We do keep limited inventory of cores but that varies daily.

Expert Installation Tips & FAQ
To ensure a successful repair and protect your vehicle's electronics, please review these critical requirements before beginning your installation:
- The "No-Mix" Rule (Electrical Safety): Never attempt to install the Billet Steel gear using the original OEM motor unmodified. The factory OEM motor is externally grounded; using it with a metal gear will create a short circuit and permanently damage your Body Control Module (BCM). You must use an internally grounded motor provided in our kits.
- The "Core" Condition (Option 2): If purchasing the pre-assembled drive unit, your returned "core" must be in rebuildable condition. We can only accept units where the motor or spur gear is the point of failure. If the main plastic housing or frame of your drive unit is physically shattered, it cannot be rebuilt or refunded.
- Tool Tip: We recommend having a basic set of trim removal tools and a small socket set. Take photos during disassembly to ensure wire routing remains clear for the re-install.
