Curious, anyone know if there is a difference between the two JDM led side mirrors?

They look identical, except for the lighting, which could be due to just picture quality. If anyone has compared both side by side, what did you notice?

I heard back from the vendor late last night. It's difficult to understand his broken English, but it sounds like he sent one to a local dealership and they have it at the parts department. Trying to figure out which dealership to go to and then I'll check it out.

For those not keeping an eye on the vendor thread (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...-is-es-20.html), it looks like those '09+ "style" mirror covers for the '06-08' 2IS's do NOT fit right. I tried to check out the product in person but the vendor kept giving me the run around. maybe this is why. I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up... JDM from Nigel FTW!
