Good luck with the work, passnu2 I hope everything turns out well.

If we know what we are doing to install, it shouldnt take longer than 1 hour right?

I wonder if Lexus will put this as standard for the coming year model.

Does the IS have auto folding mirrors like the LS460 does?. I see that someone has mentioned this in this thread.

Its an option or standard in Japan. We do not have it "yet" on the us spec cars. Something we may see this next model year?? Same with the side Turn Signal. It could be OEM by next year?? I hate our DUMBO EAR mirrors and this gave it a nice touch with out taking away from anything.

Yes i would say 1 hour to 2 hours max for the install. Depends on the person. Mine took a little longer to post pics and take my time to pay attn to what was there to be of help to everyone here that was interested!

not bright at all. I can compare them with my wifes TSX. looks nicer and better IMO but same output of light. Not going to over power your other lights. I know the pics dont show well. you really need to see them in person to appreciate!

They are not OEM. You can get them from Carson. I got them off ebay and the paint and everything was perfect! There is another thread that has the info. Joeb427 was the original poster on that thread. or just do a search on ebay for them and i am sure you will find them.
