I also think the white should be used for parking (parklight) as well, as it's not bright enough to be very noticeable during the day, though at night it quite nice.

You guys are almost ready to install these and I think wire connections should be very easy. There should only be a total of 4 (minimum) connections.

1. Right signal (red wire from passenger)
2. Left signal (red wire from driver)
3. Parking (combine both blue wires from both sides into one...I think it should be done this way so that if there's a loose connection somewhere, then both will be on or both will be off, not the silly one side on)
4. Ground (combine both black wires, OR you can ground each side separately at the mirrors to minimize running wires in).

Those were the color codes from my Pri. Dirteeboy already found threads for the R/L signal connections, so the only other connection you need is the parking, which if come to worst you can run from the parking light in front of car.

Use a lot of zip ties to minimize future rattling

As for painting, I would just order custom spray can like this one on Ebay. Put on several coats then some clear. This Ebay store is actually local to me and I have personally came there in person to buy these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-LEXUS-Paint-Spray-Can-Matched-to-YOUR-car-/110673911448?hash=item19c4adde98&item=110673911448&pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&vxp=mtr

Do they allowed pick up?
And this spray can match Starfire Pearl?

I think they are called AB Supply and is located on Fremont Blvd. Google them up. Yes they do allow pick up and even mix the paint on the spot for you. They should have Starfire Pearl; Call them first though, or ask them through their Ebay product. I got 1GO Smokey Granite Mica there in person for about $34 a can couple years ago.

peteybabes

wow! and that 1G0 matches well?

i'm thinking about touch-up for my bumper...

roadfrog

Hmmm...not sure I trust a rattle can paint job to look good enough. Not ruling it out, but I wonder if it will look satisfactory for this job.

The 1G0 was used on the lower front bumper of my former 450h as touch-up. Didn't use it on anywhere with proper layers or number of coats to get a proper saying if it matches well.

No roadfrog, I wouldn't trust any spray can paint to look good on any large surface. But for touch-up and small areas, especially like mirror covers which is almost separate from the car, I think it's fine. Just make sure you prepare the surface well and take your time between coats. Couple coats of prime, 3-4 coats of base and clear. Polish when totally dried to get them shine. Perfectly fine for this application

thanks for that sprtent!

i hope to have the whole front of my car re-sprayed in the spring, but maybe this could help hide the red plastic that is showing through on the bumper where the worst rock chips are...

That's the same merchant and mirrors I got on Ebay. I paid about 12 bucks more, so that's a decent price.

Depending on how many or how bad your chips are, I would recommend Dr. Colorchip. I was skeptical at first, but with a little patience, the chips actually start to disappear.

You smear the paint on wait roughly 5 to 15 minutes depending on temperature. Then with another chemical slowly wipe away excess paint, leaving only paint in the chip. Granted this does take a few coats and a lot of patience, but looks a million times better then those globs of pen paint.

There's a ton of instructional and reviews videos on YouTube.

Btw I have no affiliation with them, as well.

Just got the mirror covers in. Seems to pretty well made, the plastic is durable. I'll probably be sending them out to paint on Monday will shoot some pics, when I get them back.

No instructions. 3 wires with a plug at the end, with an extra set of wires

roadfrog

Got mine a couple of days ago and they went to a local shop for painting yesterday. Should have them by tomorrow or Friday at the latest. They're charging me 100 bucks, and everywhere else I went wanted almost twice that.

Now I just need to study up on the wiring and where to splice in. I also need to decide whether I hook up the DRL option.

peteybabes

wouldn't the DRL look a little cheesy? i mean, no other car has one other than the Toyota FJ Cruiser...

blinker is all i would be happy with. obviously the choice is ultimately yours.
