Convex Mirror

Rmay · May 20, 2003

I'm looking for a convex mirror (the kind normally on the passenger side) to go on the driver side of my 2003 ES300 (U.S.) I want a straight replacement for the current mirror, (not a stick-on extra mirror). Does anyone know if this is made for any market with left-hand drive cars? (I was able to get one for my Volvo from Norway, but apparently the ES300 is not marketed there.) Alternatively, I can use a passenger side mirror from a right-hand drive car, but I want it without any engraving that things are closer than they appear. (I checked in Australia, and apparently they have the engraving.) Would the mirror from a Japanese Windom model work?

Thanks.

think you wll find they have all the engravings.

plus very hard to find the 2002 model in the UK as it is not marketed hear and most Windoms are older from 92 to 95.

have you tried the Toyota Camry?

I was interested in what they have in Japan because I got a mirror for my 1990 Infiniti Q45 (= Nissan President) from there and it had no engraving.

Hi Rmay:

I think the convex mirror on passenger side of Japanese model(RHD Windom) is a bit different to AUSTRALIAN model.

AUSTRALIAN MODEL has convex on all mirror surface, whereas JP model has convex portion only on the outer part of the mirror .( I need to double check on the catalogue ).

Hi :

It's me again, I checked the JP catalogue, JP Windom has flat with convex otter portion on DRIVER's SIDE. (I was wrong on the previous post). Not sure whether they have engraving on passenger side mirror??

However , our 1994 ES300 and 2002 IS200 DO NOT have engraving on passenger side convex mirrors.

Hi Rmay:

I went to my local Lexus Showroom 2 days ago. and I checked on a 2003 ES300. The Passenger side convex mirror(LEFT SIDE mirror) DOES NOT has engraving. So u might want to order one from AUS!?
