When you say they.do you mean the seller?
If I buy them,'ll probably let them paint them and take a chance for $50.If the match is way off,I'll get them shot again here.
I don't know about the quality but they are made in Japan.

That's where I saw them but posting a ebay site is a no-no here.
Can't tell if the puddle lights will work by the picture.
I asked a few questions but not one about the puddle lights.

A wire will have to tap in to the blinker line.It's only a cover shell so other mirror wire functions should not be touched.

im up for it so long it has the puddle lights...but it will be a few months if everyone waits on me. its a little cold here in Chicago to be taking off my mirros and allow time for for my hands to not be stuck to the mirror. I will post a DIY if i move forward so that we can make a sticky. im sure its not that bad of an install. the lucky person that gets my lease when im done with it

I THINK I read somewhere here at the rear of the mirror covers is a little bit different in the JDM models than it is here in the US. Make sure it will work before you buy it.

while i like signal side mirrors, i'm not a fan of that design. it the signal/reflector looks a little big.

i agree according to the ebay store its just the rear cover. so the puddle lights would still be good. so who is going to be the first to try it?

I dont like the side reflectors. the LEDS on the GS turn signals looks really good. I would be more interested if we can get that design.

I'd actually like to have these for their real safety purpose. I do wish that they did address the issue of our side view mirrors looking like dumbo's ears. I've remember seeing threads about how big they are and never commenting, but when I look at how cool the 350z or other car mirrors side view mirrors are, and then look at ours. I just laugh.
