That looks really nice. Group buy?

I love the silver trim set as well. It should have been standard in the 350.

I also like it for 2 things
1) It's got a turn marker on the mirror which will let people in the blind spot know that you are about to change lanes
2) The light on front portion is functional and good looking

What's the process of group buying because this seems to be a japanese site & indicates Price 12,600 Yen (including tax) postage extra , is this for 1 LED turn signal mirror lens or set of 2
Does anyone know Japanese out here on this forums?

Thanks

The lamps and LED signal indicators are something I definitely hoped to see. I'm interested in this one. If there ends up being a group-buy I'd be very likely to join in.

Default auto dim

I would love to join the group buy, just let me know. Little concern about auto dim. Does it said it came with an auto dim also?

Be careful about group buy talk. Per Club Lexus rules, only authorized Club Lexus vendors can arrange or even simply gather interest on group buys. There are exceptions to the rules provided you discuss it with the Administrator who will make a final decision. If someone feels like trying to arrange a GB, talk to the Admin first before attempting to gather interest. Just a heads up or a moderator or the Admin will lock/delete the topic.

Do they come with instructions? You would still need to tap onto the turn signal wires somehow.

Did i hear you guys right, it just sticks on top of the existing side mirrors?

Point well taken on the GB talk. I'm active on other forums and for my part, I should've known better. Sorry about that.

I get the impression these inserts are for the domestic Japan market, where the lighted mirror housings are already in place. After a bit of research, I think I'd be more likely to invest in these:

My only concern would be the difficulty in wiring and in whatever detail there is behind "REQUIRES MODIFICATION TO PASSENGER SIDE TO FIT."

I agree with your concern, in Japan it is Right hand drive(RHD) and the mirror on the Right hand side needs to be replaced on the US version and requires wiring modification and the instructions are in japanese language only
Also the mirrors from l-tunedparts is a total replacement of the mirror assembly, so do not know if it will get rid of the auto dimmer and heated mirror functionality

I would rather prefer with the stick on concept as shown in the pictures above.

How dod we contact the administrator to dicuss our option if we are interested in buying this part from Beverly

Just a heads up

The japanese version of right hand side mirror comes with a motor to close/open the mirror and apparently it is not easy to fit it to the US version.

That is why the sentence "REQUIRES MODIFICATION TO PASSENGER SIDE TO FIT." Also one of my friend tried to get this done at a Lexus dealer and they informed him it may void the warranty because they have to alter the wiring to accomodate the motor to open & close the mirror.

The Harrier mirror image is attached below

I'd rather get the OEM JDM Harrier side mirrors, would be nice to find out what fitting issue(s) people have when installing these in the USDM 350s.
