awesome, which ones do you have, have you folks set up a DIY on how to put these on? I assume you have to take apart your mirrors and transfer the guts in and the mirrors will still have the folding function.....
I also found these and wonder if they are the same thing....just here in california....thanks for your input

Yeah it's just a cover your just switching out the factory cover and running the wires through the door to your turnsignal(it's a beyotch) and your good,i was looking for the pics of mine or So philly 1's but i can't find it...i'll keep searching for you but it's relatively self explanitory.

P.S. since your gonna have the mirror apart do yourself a favor and change the puddle lights to L.E.D while your at it.

so can you make the turn signal bulb clear or white on these covers??? also do you loose the little light from the stock mirror that points down?? i am guessing that this is the puddle light you are referring to and if so then i guess you don't loose it?

EyeKutr, check with Carson (L-Tunedparts) who are a CL Vendor. They are less expensive than the ebay link you initially provided - and as someone mentioned, they had a group buy on them. I got mine through the group buy.

The thread on the mirror covers that Bonafyd started is:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...e-mirrors.html


Sojah, The thread on the puddle lights can be found by looking at the first sticky on this forum, titled: "Side Mirrors LED Light Install w/ Pix". The mirror covers will not do away with the puddle lights.
