Question Sideview-Mirror Turn Signals on a GS???

I found these pics while browsing through one of the CL meets. I that hope whoever's car this is, he/she wont get pissed at me for posting it again, but I think that these turn signals are so cool, and I want them!

How do I get them? How much? From who?

Thanx,

Midnite

you can go to a Mercedes Benz dealership an sask for the E class side mirror blinker unit. I believe its expensive though $400 for both sides...I THINK.

it's like 400 bucks for the 2 housing only...... then you gotta go to a body shop to have them take the light out from the E-class housing, cut your GS mirror, put the blinker in, mold it, and then paint the mirror.

I just feel that putting those on the mirrors just makes you car look more like a Mercedes. Why would you want to do that to a Lexus??? They look nice, but every Honda and Integra have those custom mirrors out for them now!!!! You know what I mean. That's just my 2 cents on the subject---but everyone has their own opinions and styles

I agree with you...... I think it's not a bad idea but I would rather have a shop drill 2 holes on the side and make clear side markers like where JDM Aristos have them......... they look better IMO and doesn't imitate Mercedes idea.

But to each his own

Default Hey, ask "LexusRules"

Sasha sent me a link once of a company that made them custom for the GS and they were much cheaper than 400....

The CL member Atlbrave did the e-class blinker conversion and it looks nice. Also Hiro has created an add-on to your stock mirrors. Try checking old threads because it was discussed a bit more extensively.

Exactly I think clear side marker lights would look a lot better than the turn signals on the mirror. Why doesn't Lexus put that on the cars---Audi and BMW have them, why not Lexus!!!!
