I ordered something, and after 5 month I was informed the part was never ordered.

Just a cover
It's just a cover that goes over your existing cover, using probably 3M double sided automotive application tape. As for the lighting, you will have to find a way to wire and hook up to your side blinkers up front. Not as simple as just stick and go.

Bonafyd, have you already installed yours?
You guys know that the size of the US mirror and Japanese side mirrors are slightly different and the location of holes for the screws to hold the internals are different, right? So, if you are getting Japanese brand covers/replacement, it may not fit to the US mirrors.
Or at least, mine didn't fit (for '02). I have different brand (Artisan Spirits) "replacement" type with LED from Japan, but did not fit to the existing US mirrors. Be sure to check if those are made for the US mirrors before you invest your money.
I ended up getting a set of JDM side mirror assy.
Hopefully the one on the Carson is made for the US side mirrors (what brand is it? or is the "Carson" brand item?)

Holy cr*p... $300+ for covers (actual, not clip on) and some lighting inside... that's pretty rich. Are the lights for turn signal, or just "puddle lights" ? If turn signal, how do you wire them in?
