Help ! Turn Indicators For Side Mirrors

[djmike]

Hi, I've just purchased my new toy. :D 1999 V GS300 Sport. :D Chichester Blue, grey leather. 62k. Paid £16.5k from lexus main dealer. I have been looking for one for ages with Sat Nav but couldn't find one. Ended up purchasing from Lexus main dealer. Who knows may fit an aftermarket one later. <br>

Anyway...... First mod, I am looking to change side mirrors to clear turn indicator (you know the ones that light up when you turn left/right). I seem to remember an link to a USA site that sold kids/mods for lexus. Just cant remember which one!. Any help much appreciated. Kind Regards.............P.S Sport pics to follow. V. pleased with it so far! No problems. :winky:

Thanks to Mr_Lex for the post !

Just gotta' find someone to paint them now !

[djmike]

Hmmmm........ Just called Lextacy. They are based in Calif, USA. I spoke to a guy. It souded like I'd got him out of bed (5pm our time = 12:00 lunchtime!!).

I made enquiries about this product and he didn't seem very interested. Says he had them in stock, yet the web site says 3-4 weeks delivery time. He also said they wouldn't accept a credit or debit card. HAD to be a money order.

I'm slightly worried as If I do send this I can't trace/stop payment ($460) once it's gone.

Does anyone know anything about this company? Has anyone ordered anything and has good/bad reports?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks Guy's (Oooops and girls !!! Apparantly they drive lexus now too !!)

A few of us have had problems but only with ordering and his attitude. I've not heard of any problems actually supplying them. I've heard he is quite fast really.

Have a look at this - Here

He may be a late riser - 5pm our time is 9am in Calif. (Pacific time). Either way, he was really snotty with me and I was contacting him through email!

[djmike]

Nice one Geoffers :winky: That's just what I was looking for. Got a bad feeling when I spoke to him. Didn't seem interested and (like the rest) just got one line answers and grunts.

Anyone know where you can get the side (mirror) lights for GS sport Mk II ?

P.S Just a slight problem with my new Sport. That :tsktsk: rattling noise coming fom the rear of the car. It's not the sunroof. Sounds more like the back of the car.

Maybe wheel balance is the answer? I've got Pirelli 245/40/18's all round. Not that impressed

Its not your rear blind rattling is it ? on my 98 Aristo when its down the flap on the top rattles its a bit annoying !

Press the button put it up rattle gone

[djmike]

<_< Mine's a UK sport. Doesn't come with Blinds. Are there many diff's between UK gs and Aristo (Mk2?). I considered one of these, but wasn't sure if you could convert Sat Nav for Jap to Eng.

[japanese lowrider]

yeah i looked a at a couple of Aristos before i bought mine and there sat nav had all been converted to work in U.K. mine hasnt got it but it has got the premium sound system which is great

[djmike]

Still haven't managed to get turn indicators for side mirrors. Any idea of suppliers in the UK? Come on fellow club members don't fail me now ! :)

Thank you.

[japanese lowrider]

Hi aricoro i am also interested in these for my aristo but couldnt find any price list on the site ?

[djmike]

OK, so I guess you can't get the side mirror indicator lights in the UK for the GS300 then. Thanks anyway.

[djmike]

Bin' almost three weeks and nothing from Lextasy. Money has been taken from my Mastercard.......I have e:mailed them asking for tracking/consignment no. so I can track but got a reply back saying

Mike,

This will have been sent to you in a confirmation e:mail when you placed the order. If you didn't receive it then let me know and I will search for your invoice.

Errrrr. Hello, newsflash I AM E:MAILING YOU FOR IT ! If I had it, I wouldn't be e:mailing you NOW

Watch this space.....

Sorry to hear this man.

I read on clublexus that Lextasy.com is run by someone who is now banned.

Update us on how it goes or check with your credit card company and ask for a refund!

[djmike]

:duh: Update.... After yet ANOTHER call to Lextasy (Calif., USA), it turns out that they've sent my items (total $535.00 - Tom's Side mirror blinkers & C Pillar carbon fibre decals) using the wrong tariff. The items got sent back to Lextasy. It was a good job I contacted them..... No phone call to explain what had happened. Spoke to Steve I think it was, he says he's re-sending them out last Thursday. Looks like another 2-3 weeks wait! Oh, he has promised to send me a free Lextasy tee tho ! Not that impressed with the Customer Service. Let's see'f the products are upto much ! .......TBC :D

[djmike]

:) :) Well, received the parts AT LAST!. Turned up on Thursday. The Decals for the 'C-Pillar' were fine. Carbon fibre look, self adhesive. They were on in 10 minutes. The Side turn indicators for the mirrors were a DIFFERENT 'kettle of fish!'. I was under the impression that these were replacement mirror backs and you had to take the old ones off!. NOT the case. They were just caps that stuck over the existing mirrors, and boy did they make the mirrors look HUGE ! Because the mirror caps have the indicator and all the wiring in it increased the size by nearly 30%. So, after all that I have been in touch with Lextasy and they have agreed to take them back minus 25% stocking fee, it does state this on their web site ($425 - 25% - shipping both ways! Not Cheap!). Well, we live and learn.

[Monster-Mat]

sorry to hear you were not 100% satisfied.

are you coming along to JAE

[Zee007]

Sorry to hear it Mike - at least you tried eh? :(
