Hi Everyone,Can anyone tell me if there are any problems involved in replacing the complete door mirror unit on an LS400 (98 model)- someone vandalised mine a few days ago-cracked the mirror body,lens assembly flopping loose, etc, I'd appreciate any advice, thanks.Iain.

Hi Iain, there may be better ones but this may help.

Although for a 1994 model the tutorial below may help with the job just bear in mind some of the fixings will be different but the principle remains the same.

Thank you very much guys, for your help and feedback regarding thi procedure,I have sourced a second -hand replaceement,-but it's off a '94,will it fit my '98?, thanks,Iain.

No different mirror if off a pre October 1994 model, not sure if post October 94 is the same but will check for you. Chances are you will need a 98-2000 model year one.

What is your colour code?

I have no info on whether it's pre,or post 94, I'm contacting the source tomorrow, so will probably back-out of purchasing the mirror-shame, as he's breaking the LS400, and only wants a tenner for the whole unit,never mind, what do you mean by the colour code?

[steve2006]

What colour is the car, there should be a code on the ID plate.

I was going to have a look for the correct one for you but need to confirm the correct colour you need.

You could always send a PM to another LOC member who's username is Benfur, he used to break LS400s and may still have what you need.

The code is Astral Black, '98 model.
