Thanks for the reply I got the rear sorted out..


I guess my question is can the 2010 bumper & grill bolt right up or do I have to change the radiator support..

This guy says core support but i think he meant different.

I think you might be the first in the states to attempt an after M/C conversion - your LS430 was awesome, can't wait to see what you have in store for this car

If you got the $$ then exactly why not? haha. How much did those Mirrors cost? Could you post a pic of those next to the pre-facelift mirrors I was wondering if the covers could fit over the 08 model without switching the whole mirror.

I got a discount through my friends bodyshop but they list for $1600,the covers appear to be the same to me but if you find a mirror with the signal then you still have to do the work + paint so I decided to just buy them complete.

Crappy Iphone pics.

There's no issue the light plug right in like the old ones you just have to find the turnsignal wire in the door & tap into it & done.

P.S. Heres a little gem I found out while doing my research the IS250,ES350,LS460 all share the exact same mirror...your welcome fellas

Wow that is a good find - by far cheaper than what I've seen them listed for. Might pull the triigger on a pair of these. Thanks!

No problem,I don't mind sharing...

There's a few ways to attack it,either buy the light buy themselves,or get a complete mirror from ebay or a local recycler,the only issue would be the conversion & paint which I didn't want to bother with but the end result would be the same LED turnsignal mirrors..
