Hi everyone

I know this has been touched upon in other forums but can't find a definitive answer to my question.

I have a 2007 IS250 and so doesn't have the illuminated wing mirror switch. Personally I don't think switch lighting is the Lexus's strong point inc the overhead switches etc.

My question is, can I retrofit a new style lit Toyota/Lexus switch to my car? I have had a look and it looks like the IS and all other Toyota models use the same switch, so would like to get a new switch off an Auris etc and fit it to my car.

Don't know if it makes a difference but my car has the electric folding function!!!

Thanks again for your help

Sorry, the wing mirror switch on the newer models I believe lights up with the rest of the dash. On the pre face light models, the switch isn't backlit.

I've attached a picture of the switch (its from a GS, but you might recognise it from your car)

USDM version of the IS250 / IS350 does not get this feature... (Folding Sideview mirrors)

SO about 99% of us in here... Can not answer this question

Thanks Joe

I wasn't aware of that, I'm still learning about the differences between US and UK cars.

Seeing that the 4GS lost 'em I'm doubtful
