Thanks to Neo for helping me with posting pics . I was having trouble posting cause I swiitched to a new browser that didn't allow me to post, so he helped walk me through it on the phone.

I'll start by showing what I DID do on the wifeys IS. This job was way easier than on a GS. The reason being that the mirror design is completly different. I was able to install this blinker into the stock housing and didn't have any clearance problems with the power mirror mechanisim. Too bad the GS is a whole different story.

Here's the IS blinker.

Here's the GS mirror on the right and the Mercedes mirror on the left. You can see the housings are completly different shapes, so you have to mold the two shapes together to get it to look right.

I will take some pics when I have a chance and post where I am now with this mod. Not very far I'm afraid.

Make sure you have enough clearance when you mould in the benz covers because the the blinkers from the E-class that you got there are quite "thick" and will hit your mirror motor if you don't extend the back of your stock GS cover....

Great advice Jon. I didn't have a chance to take pics yet, but yes I know exactly what you are saying. You can can kind of tell on the center trun sgnal how thick it is.

The mirror will hit it so you want to make sure you can adjust the angle that ypou need without hitting.

and thanks Henry for the confidence that I try to do things right.

Right, but thought I'd give a little heads-up anyway, just in case he moulded everything in and found out that he can't adjust the mirrors because they were hitting the backs of the blinkers. You should try to source the ALGERNON or MAXI-MYTHOS blinkers unit out of Japan, they are much thinner, puts out the same amount of light and much easier to work with.
