Default '06-'08 JDM LED Side Mirrors vs. '09+ OEM LED Side Mirrors

Which one do you guys think looks better? I had no idea, but there seems to be a vendor that sells side mirror covers for the '06-'08 that looks like the '09+ LED turn signals, something people have expressed interest in before. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...-is-es-16.html

i personally think the 09+ looks way better but the only thing holding me back was the cost from the dealership (around 1000 dollars if i remember correctly). anyway the vendor quoted me 268 with shipping and painting included which is about the same as the jdm led turn signal mirrors. so i vote 09+

I think I agree.

Yeah, "style" being the key word. Trying to figure out what's going on because if this product is what I think it is and the quality is there, a lot of people will be interested.

These '09+ OEM "style" covers for the '06-'08 assembly are about the same price as the JDM ones Nigel et al sells. The vendor (lexus-up) just confirmed this is a fairly new part made by a third party company, so it's not an OEM piece.

I know, right? If this is the real deal that would be awesome. I asked the vendor if any CL members have purchased and installed the product yet. Waiting to hear back.

I agree. Funny thing is, I JUST purchased some JDM signals for Nigel last night. Meh.

"Yes! The picture is from our CL member. That's why I'm here. The installation is exactly the same as the previous LED mirror covers. Only the exterior style is different." - lexus-up

Something's not right with this product: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...-is-es-17.html The vendor claims the picture is of his aftermarket product, but in fact it's from Lexus corporate. I guess us '06-'08 people shouldn't get our hopes up quite yet...
