Why Mirror Covers Are Worth Fitting
Side mirrors are one of the most exposed parts of any vehicle. They stick out from the body on both sides, which means they are the first thing to make contact in tight car parks, narrow work sites, bush tracks and any situation where space is limited. A quick scrape against a wall, a branch catching the mirror on a fire trail, or another vehicle brushing past on a crowded site can leave scratches, scuffs and chips that are difficult and expensive to repair on a factory mirror housing.
Matte black mirror caps sit over the existing mirror shell and take the hits instead. If they get scratched, the matte black finish hides it far better than chrome or body-coloured paint would. And because they are a separate cover that applies over the genuine factory housing rather than a replacement, your original mirrors stay protected underneath. If you ever want to remove the covers and go back to the factory look, the mirrors are still in good condition.
The visual side matters too. On a lot of utes, the factory mirrors come in chrome or unpainted plastic that looks out of place once you start adding matte black accessories. Mirror covers bring the mirrors in line with the rest of the exterior, tying together upgrades like fender flares, body cladding, light covers and door handle covers. It is one of those small changes that rounds off the overall build and makes the vehicle look properly finished.
For tradies who park on busy work sites every day and 4×4 owners who regularly squeeze through tight tracks, mirror covers are a low-cost way to avoid the kind of gradual damage that slowly makes a vehicle look tired.
What Is in the Range
Most of the products in this category are straightforward matte black mirror covers, but there are a few different options worth knowing about.
Standard matte black mirror covers make up the majority of the range. These are moulded to fit over the factory mirror housing on a specific vehicle, covering the chrome or painted surface with a clean matte black finish. They are the simplest option and the most popular choice for owners who just want the mirrors to match the rest of their matte black accessories.
Mirror covers with integrated LED lights are available for the Toyota Hilux SR5 and Fortuner (2005-2014) and the Mitsubishi Triton ML (2006-2009). These replace the standard mirror look with a cover that includes built-in LED indicator lights on the mirror housing. The LED indicators add an extra point of visibility, which can be helpful on busy roads, dusty work sites and when towing where being seen from the side matters.
Mirror covers bundled with weathershields are available for the Toyota Hilux Extra Cab. We stock a 4-piece set for the 2005-2015 model and a 2-piece set for the 2015-2024 model. These are commonly bought by customers upgrading an Extra Cab Hilux who want to sort out the mirrors and weathershields at the same time.

Fitment and Ordering
Mirror covers are one of the easiest accessories to install on any vehicle. Standard mirror caps either clip directly over the factory mirror housing or apply using 3M automotive tape. No tools, no drilling and no modifications needed. The whole process is simple enough to do at home in a few minutes per side, and once fitted the covers sit securely without rattling or shifting. Each cover is moulded to fit perfectly over the specific mirror housing it is designed for, so keep in mind that choosing the correct make, model and year range is important for a great result.
For the LED versions, there is a straightforward wiring step involved to connect the indicator lights to your vehicle’s electrical system. It is an easy job that most owners can handle themselves, but if you prefer, any auto electrician can take care of it quickly.
All mirror covers ship from our store Australia-wide with free delivery to major metro postcodes. Orders placed before 12PM are dispatched same day, so you receive your covers fast. If you are not sure which mirror caps suit your vehicle, contact our team before you order and we will help you out.
