Default Lexus GX Series 03-09 Premium LED Mirror Cover

They are avaliable for 03-09 GX Series!




Are right 03-09 GX Series Owners your LED mirror covers "exchange type" are now in stock!

Avaliable for 03-09 GX Series!
A unpainted pair starts at $189 or we can have them painted for only $70 more! Also the painted mirrors come with a LIFETIME warranty

Each side mirror cover is made of durable ABS plastic and comes with integrated LED side indicator to increase visibility to other motorists when signaling. This LED mirror cover replaces the outer OEM mirror shell to an exact fit, just like the original factory part. Comes unpainted, or can be painted to match your original paint color, using the same OEM paint codes*. Painting service comes with a lifetime warranty. That warranty covers your painted mirrors against fading or loss of gloss, peeling, chalking, cracking and wrinkling for as long as you are the original owner.

Now if your car does have the OEM puddle light them it maintains that function.

I should have good detailed pictures very soon, as soon as I have them I will post for every one to see. If you have any other questions please ask.

Remember they are an OEM fit, and the painted LED mirror covers have a lifetime warranty on the paint!!! you can beat that

I will be layout an instruction sheet for the 2nd GEN GS (that's my car) if I can get a local buyer for each of the models I would be more than happy to create installation manuals.

These are from the 2nd GEN GS so you have an idea of how they look unpainted and from the inside of the cover

Here are some pics of an unpainted cover. As you can see the cover mounts using the original mounting tabs as the OEM mirror. It has a two wire hook up so when your turning signal is off the LED's are also off, they only flash when your turning signal is also flashing.

You should see your mirror covers just under two weeks. It takes a couple of days to process orders, then at the end of that week I take all the covers over to the shop for paint I pick them up the next day, and ship it out. Shipping is just a few days.

So I spend $259, ruin the fit of both door panels, and wait for the wire to break and short at the hinge......just to look like a Benz? I would mimic the Saab side signal before spending so much time and money.

For all of this aggravation and money, this cover should also have the downward courtesy light.

Taking out door panels are not that big a deal, I have done this on several cars with no problem. I did however broke a clip on the black triangular inside cover when I installed Muth signal mirror on my wife's Honda SUV. Fixed it within seconds with super glue.

I went to Muth website and here's what I found:
http://www.muthco.com/techsupport/pdfs/21000890.pdf

The concern is not with the installation because if you take your time, you should be fine. It's the quality of the product itself, are the plastic casing as thick as the original? How about the lens and LED quality? Will the color match? If you have problems with the mirror reverse tilt like I had earlier, will that give the dealer an excuse not to fix issues related to the side mirrors since it is no longer encased in its original housing.
