What year is the LS and where did you purchased the mirror covers? Please, let us know where and which colors of the wires you tapped in for the turn signal. BTW, A lot people say, the 2008 model do not fit.

http://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesal...ror-light.html Ok this is the site I order from and they will fit the 2008 LS460 and LS600. I painted the lens and the cover body color because it doesn't stand out as much but the light really flashes nice in the daytime. Cjitty has seen these in person and he can tell you how well they fit.

I'm using the winkers from the 2010+ mirrors and molding them into the '07 housings.

I did the mechanics but I had another guy do the wiring. Wiring took about 35-40 mins.
