you need the whole housing and mirrors, and you will need to splice into some wires. not too bad. someone did a diy already, search for it

Eyekutr did a brilliant write up on this ... look in my signature for the link. It isn't plug and play. It's actually a pretty involved mod for a noob like me, but his directions make it straightforward. Several vendors carry high quality LED mirror covers now. I'm very pleased with mine.

it's not going to be cheap. you can talk to sewell lexus about the price, and mention clublexus and you can get another 10%

Yes you can use the OEM mirrors from the newer model. There is a thread I posted in the FAQ section You also have another option to go aftermarket and just replace the outer shell on our current mirrors. I personally like the aftermarket ones better but you have two options to choose from. Check out the FAQ section as it will give you all the info you need on this

when you get them from Sewell, do they already come painted? is there any other parts needed or just the mirrors? is it basically plug & play?

the covers still keep the oem look. your not replacing the whole mirror. you just take off the backside of the mirror and replace it with the new led mirror. imo it looks identical and you save a ton of money.
