Thanks guys. I looked through the stickies and the extra DIY info here. Looks tempting - certainly gives my '07 the up to date look. OEM cost seems high, especially when this mod does not contribute to performance. ~$200 is really tempting... the paint job looks good.

CAK_500: has it been raining during the last 6 months since you had these, or have you subjected this to high pressure wash? Hopefully moisture is not a concern if this has a good seal.

I live in NC, so yes, the LED covers have seen lots of rain. I've never pointed a high pressure nozzle into it, but I have washed the car (by hand and car wash) many many times since the install with no problems whatsoever.

Yeah, I look at this as simply an update, although there is a safety argument to be made for mirror mounted turn signals.

That is nice to know. thanks!

Only reason why I ask this is because I have had other after market mods on a different car that started to give in to moisture after a few months under Californian sun + rain. Nice to know this seems like a high quality kit - without the high quality price
