Question Kazz LED mirrors authenticity?

Well recently I bought a set of what I believe are Kazz LED mirrors with the blue lenses.



They look exactly the same as these located on the site, but cannot find a stamp or something showing that ones I bought are indeed a Kazz product. Anyone have a set and know of a tell tale showing it is a Kazz product? Thanks!

They should have kazz stamped where the base connects to the car. Should be behind the rubber gasket.

Are you talking about the whole mirror assembly or just the covers? Op is talking about the whole mirror assembly made by Kazz-sport.

Op, another thing that distinguishes the Kazz mirror is that none of the parts will interchange with oem/jdm mirrors. The base, housing, internals, and even the glass is different.

Does the jdm mirror even work with usdm cars? I thought the angles are different. And it will mess up the memory function and loose heated mirror.

yes, yes, and yes. Yes jdm mirrors will work on usdm cars providing you wire them up correctly, which is not that hard. Yes the angle is different - the passenger side does not angle in enough. Yes you will loose the memory function; as far as heated mirrors - I'm sure that if you swap the glass with the heating elements and run the wires that should solve that problem.

Op please don't think that I'm threadjacking, just trying to answer questions.

Those pics were directly from Kazz for representation purposes. I bought my set used through a used parts dealer here in Japan for a complete steal of ¥8000 (currently $80 USD.) They labeled it as "Unspecified Manufacturer" and then once I saw behind gasket it was a Kazz then I knew I got a helluva deal! They were already painted black onyx and everything. It has a minor scratch & turn signal cover a little yellow (some headlamp cleaner should fix it up) but for the time being ill just get it repainted later, but other than that it looks great.
