Default Replacing side mirrors

So does anybody know what year they started putting the side turn signals on the ES350's and is it swappable with the factory side mirrors on the ES350 now aside from the wiring.

They started with the 2010 model year.

I don't know if they are swapable but wouldn't be surprised if they were.

Yes, it was 2010 and I would think they would fit but at a pretty substantial cost. And then there will be the wiring to deal with. I do like them but rarely even notice or remember that I have them.

Like Dave says,you'll have to wire in to the blinker line which can be done.Many have done the mod on earlier IS models.I think the cover shell may fit.

I think your local car stereo installer could handle it.

Nice so 2010, now I need to see if the paint is going to match which I'm sure it will.

so does the mirror cover with the lights fit properly on the older models? Does anyone have a link to somewhere for a DIY?

Are those even replicas of the OEM? because they dont look at all like the OEM ones...

I want it to look OEM. It doesn't have to be OEM but as long as its a replica its good enough.

Sorry for reviving an "older than dirt thread", but I've been looking (just studying) into retrofitting the LED turn signal mirror. I did the same for both my 05 4Runner and 07 Civic. It's not crazy difficult, only major issue is to have them professionally painted.

I'm seeing they are available in ebay (aftermarket OEM replicas) for about $150 each

Can't find a thread on somebody who has successfully installed them.
