really? never noticed.. tints so dark i cant tell.. but i thought just the rear view mirror auto dimmed..

yeah, you could definitely just get a tint guy (or do it yourself) to do up the mirrors with some blue tint if you were just trying to get that blue look.

The Only Thing I Was Asking For Is A Part Number I Know The Aristo Came With The Blue Tint And Also Know That The Mirror Is A Japan Part Number.

either somebody tinted your mirrors before you owned it or swapped them out already... gs's mirrors arent factory tinted blue.

I have an 03 GS430 with Nav and ML and my side mirrors don't auto dim either. Mine is either broken or it doesn't auto dim. Surprising since my 99 LS had auto dimming side and rear mirrors. A little off topic, but does the side mirrors tilt down as well in reverse? My 04 RX and 99 LS did, but I can't get my 03 GS mirrors to tilt. Mine could be broken though and maybe that is why it doesn't auto dim either.

TOYOTA ARISTO

LEXUS GS300/400/430

(1998-2005)

BLUE WIDE MIRROR PANNELS

CONDITION: Brand New ( Toyota Genuine Parts )

QUANTITY

1 set ( Driver and Passenger side )

COLOR: Blue Mirror Lense

FITTING: LEXUS GS 300/400/430 JZS160.161 ( 1998-2005 )

NOTES

* REPLACEMENT TYPE
* SIDE CLEARLANCE IS MUCH WIDER THAN NORMAL MIRROR PANEL. (QUATER PART ON EACH SIDE PANNEL HAS WIDER ANGLE)
* REDUCING THE HIGH BEAM FROM THE REAR VEHICLE BEHIND
* ONE PIN ON THE BACK LENSE PANEL TO CONNECT HARNESS (ONLY ONE PIN EACH SIDE) FOR HEATED MIRROR USE (SEE PIC)

Super Hard to get in the US!!!



if he's lying about them being oem toyota, or being a direct fit for the gs, zeroism probably wouldnt be able to maintain his 100% feedback rating.

actually.. after all this talk about these mirrors, im going to buy a set from him ill let you guys know how it works out.
He's not.

But it's not for the 16 Aristo. Most, if not all the Aristo owners in Japan I know use the OEM 17 Crown Athlete side mirror. It's like 3000yen (30bucks) IIRC. And everything should be a bolt on including the pins (dunno if all 17 Crown Athletes had heated mirror option though).

mine don't do tilt either..............and im fairly certain none of the gs430's have auto dimming side views JUST the rear view. spent about 30 mins or so on Google and couldn't find it (what its a SLOW day at work)

your sideviews arent broken. as far as i know they do not auto dim, just the interior rear view does. and they also dont tilt down when you put the car in reverse.

EMS takes 3 days max, it's nuts b/c it's usually cheaper than air for things like a mirror and has tracking number.

i really wish the GS had auto tilt when in reverse...
