Default Todays last message from salesperson

...after quite a few more too and from and salesperson asking me to take photos from the front towards the rear of my car...I did so...and this is the last reply:

This is LHD car from your third picture, same as China version!
CH053 is suitable!

Well, they are not suitable in my case....Just wondering if the LS460 owners who have done the LED blinker cover swap have used covers with the 053 number marked inside....and which number CJITTY has on the non-fitting covers for his LS600..... and if there are ANY LS 600's with these LED covers installed ....anybody know of that's done .....There's still a mystery here

UPDATE:

I sent the seller once more a detailed description on on how both my workshop and myself tried to install the LED mirror covers and that they did not fit....and also mentioned that the covers CJITTY's have got also does not fit his car (2008 LS600 hL's)...and got this reply just now:

My God, our American users have been no feedback this problem to us!
They are 10 users!
And last year we also have 3 buyers at aliexpress.com.


Can members of the Club give feedback ...especially LS600 owners ....if they have got the covers to fit...or not ..... also good experience ..or not ..from 460 owners....then there could be a possibility for a refund for us that did not get the LED light mirror covers to fit..even after several months since the cover was bought...

Sorry for bringing back an old thread, I'm about to buy these winkers for my 2011 IS but trying to figure out how to wire those white LEDs to my DRLs/parking lights. Has anyone considered wiring them to the cigarette lighter light wire? That should only turn on with the parking light. Should... perhaps it's been tried and is also causin the rouge 6 volt issue.. there's got to be an easier way.

Hi, I have again been in contact with the seller.... sent them the details on which numbers that are stamped inside of the mirror covers: W053 RH and the other W053 LH .... and just got this response :
wison huang: This car is Left driver, is same as China version!And CH053 is suitable for LS460 and LS600HL 2006-2009 left driver!
If this model is unsuitable for your car, we do not know what have happened, sorry!
This is factory link:
http://www.ledmirror.com/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=CH053&Category=161


Can anyone that have installed these covers on a LS600 please check that the numbers stamped inside is W053 RH and W053 LH ??

Update just now:
The seller wants pictures of the original mirror covers...and I have sent him this one...and a few others ....They are NOT the same shape ....:


New Cover

Original Cover
Maybe I should take the chance to Dremel away the 2 clips (positioned on the LHS) inside of the China cover : ???????



and last where the factory numbers are located:



Regards
Arvid

Finally got around to wiring these up today. I painted them and installed them last fall. But got lazy to run the wire. I ran the passenger side wire today hope to finish this weekend or next. I am guessing the red wire from each light is the turn signal light. Doubt i will connect the running light.

I didn't connect the running light either. FWIW, I'm close to 3 years running these and they still look great and work as good as always

Got them done today. I like them a lot. The green and yellow wires i had to dig around for them so i could get the taps on. But it all came together great.

I just had to remember to reset the memory for the drivers seat since i disconnected the whole panel. Took me awhile to figure that out after it didn't work afterwards.

Thanks for your help.

So far so good on mine. Once and awile i think the wire gets in way of mirror when folding. Gets hung up. I just ignore it and don't set the mirror to auto fold. But lights all work great.

Thanks for the guide, I had to curse and swear for an hour running the wire beneath the stereo/hvac and transmission hump but eventually found a tiny slot to shove the wire through. The green yellow wire info made this a little bit easier.
