Need Help: Side LED Mirror's
I've been looking for the LED Side mirrors for some time now. I would like to do the "exchange type" I'm not crazy about the double-side type stick on Mirror covers. Can anyone help me find who selles them here in the states or who can get them from Japan.
I receive a couple of JDM magazines like VIP Style & VIP Car you can find them in the magazines but most of them are the stick on type.

Guys,
I was also in the same boat as both of you. I got a hold of some custom-made fiberglass shells (made for 98-00 2GS)...bought authentic S-Class LED blinkers...swapped out my 2001 side mirrors units with 2000 year set....added alot of sweat equity....sent it out for painting....and this is what I got.
See my gallery for more pics.

As stated above...the custom-made shells are made for 98-00 2GS.
Lexus changed the design of the side mirrors in 2001 and up....mounting points of the side mirror motor to OEM shells are different....so my 2001 motor mounting points would not fit the shells. Lucky thing was the 98-00 sets was plug and play to my 2001 socket pins...everything works like normal.

I found this on eBay.

They have quite a few for sale. It says that it's for the 98-00 GS but it's a cap so hopefully it won't require swapping out the mirrors like Pete had to do.

Since a couple people PM'd me I took some pics.
This is the mirror. It comes in 2 parts. The inner snaps into place. No gaps, perfect fit. 3M tape is ok but i'm going to add a blob of panel adhesive to the backs to get them on there.
As you can see it lines up pretty darn good
Bondo-able gap
A couple pics of them on the car
I'm going to delete the orange turn signal on the side of the front bumper and wiring the mirrors into that.
There you have it!
