I know that guy, his name is Hiro and he does have the corner lights for the lexus mirror. What he has is a mirror frame that has the light already attached and all you have to do is put it on top of the originall mirror frame. It's like a hub cap but for a side mirror. He just received it from Japan so he wasn't sure how much it was going to cost but his range was somewhere between $400-$600. You guys should give him a call at (310) 373-4840 if you want more info. He told me that Japan haven't even released it to the public yet, so when they do, he'll make the order.

Good luck guys!

Default ANSWERS!!!!!

I'm Above ATL, in Georgia.

You guys have to read my previous posts....you can't just cut and paste the blinker light......the housings are SEPARATE SHAPES! You can't take something off of an CIRCLE and put on an OVAL.....WILL NOT WORK! He had to mold the 2 together! There is also a Mercedes plug on the inside that you have to MAKE SOMETHING to adapt to the blinkers that was hard as hell to find to get them to work......My Stereo guy came up with something but it took him like a week to find something.

The guy that did my mirrors, it took him almost 2 months to do them, simply because he was BS'ing and over swamped with other work, BUT HE DID A HELL OF A PERFECT JOB. I would not deal with the guy again. I would take the to best body shop in your town and see if one of the guys there is willing to do it on the SIDE and that way it would be cheaper.

It's harder than it looks but read my previous posts!
You can get the E class housings from any Benz Dealer for like $175 each within 2-3 days!
