I could not find just the blinker on the one I like......... I ordered it with the cover today for my car and cost way less then the one you like Retrodrive. Its only $40 more with the mirror covers compared to the other one which is $100 more.
There were like 5 companys selling the one I like, I think thats why it cost less.

They called Crossroads for me and they said the reason there is a gap, The cover they sell will fit a few diffrent models. They told me some Bondo would make it look good.
The gap was to much for my taste.
I got my money back. Japan is not into giving refunds that easy............... lucky for me I was able to return it right away & they saw how messed up it looked.
W/ the cover it makes the mirror look so fat....... and to give it a clean look some bondo would need to be used. If your going to do it might as well get the one you cut up your mirror with and give it the clean look.

Hello Everyone,
Well I was in the local import section and I came across something that I have been looking for. It is an LED Turn Signal that has adhesive backing and has a thin aluminum backing so it will mold to fit your mirror. I was about to toss down the cash to buy it, but then I realized I am going to have to do some wiring etc... It says no drilling etc, but what about splicing the turn signal wires to connect the wires from the LED turn signal? Will I will have to take the mirror off to run the wires? I am very weary of all that, but this seems much better than drilling holes into my car. I have seen a guy on eBay selling the LED arrows that go on the glass, and he states that all you do is run the wires from the LED arrow to the turn signal fuse, does this sound correct? If anyone has some suggestions or experience with something like this PLEASE post, I would love to get some assist so I can make the right decision. Here is a retailer I found online that sells the same product.
Product is Pilot Motorsport LED Side-mirror Lights with Amber Lights.

This is an old thread....... since then a company called Exe makes a nice one for all the diffrent models. It NOT a generic size to fit a few diffrent models like crossroads.
The cover is also thinner which does NOT make the mirror look so FAT.
LQQK...........

I've been eyeing those too, at 27,300Y it doesn't seem too bad.

Devils also has one and I think Tom's does too.

These new ones look nice. Just curious. You said you got some for US members. Were there any fitment problems? I think the mirrors are angled slightly different on the driver vs passenger side. I assume these are made for JDM spec mirrors so was there custom work needed to get them to fit the US spec cars?
