Yes the price of $199 unpainted is for a pair left & right sides. NO double side tape here, (I'll post pics of the inside part of the covers so you can see how it is held in place) and based on how you wire them up, you can have the puddle lights come on when the car is unlocked, and the LEDs flash when the car is locked or unlocked.

odd ? then, couldnt they have made the bottom a tad bigger and flush it in?

From a business perspective, I don't think it's feasable... You'd have to mod it yourself. I'm sure they can find something to make it flush or have techniques to do it...again, even if they know, they wont. (That's my oppinion.)

anyhow, I'm looking foward to installing it. maybe, if I get frustrated with the look, I'll mod it. LOL.

Definitely interested and I hope the DIY is not too bad because I'm not the best when it comes to electrical wiring.

I added more pictures to the first post. Some CL members wanted to see how the LED mirror covers are held in place. The three tabs are what hold the LED cover to the metal chassis of the mirror.
