do you wanna give it a try? for me, i just can't trust someone selling stuff when the person himself doesn't know enough about the product

Back in August when Steve Ganz was unveiling his revised site, I asked him about the blackwood center console. He said he thought he had figured it out and would be putting it on the site soon. Check the third page down near the bottom. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hreadid=131257

I hadn't secured my car yet, so it slipped my mind. Maybe it's time to check back again...

Here are mine that I've had in the gallery for other threads.

On the car:

From the Front View:


Front and back:


They are not that noticeable at a glance. I took the closeups at specific angles to show the cover edges (as requested by a member in a previous thread).

So, do these go on OVER the existing mirror enclosure, or do you remove the standard mirror housing leaving the mirror and motor behind and cover it with the new part which contains the lights? Are they LED? I assume you tap into the power to the turn signal indicator so they blink in unison with the turn signals.

well, in that sense, i was pretty much the first here to have full blackwood on my car custom made too. all i can say isn't easy plus it's too hard to do the shift ****, which can be a serious problem.

i know another place where you might be able to get it. i forgot where it is though, just read about it that's all

Over the existing mirror housing. You just need to drill a small hole in the original housing for the wiring of the turn signal. I believe they are LEDs and yes on the wiring to the existing signal.

1. you can get it from steve ganz (supratrd). he's from carson toyota, a vendor here
2. you can probably tap all the way to the front turn signals, just need to go through the firewall. or you can probably try to tap into the turn signals in the steering column. not sure how hard it is though
