Nope. You cant get them. The base on the Honda mirror is alot bigger than ours. I measured it. I'm in the process of getting Mercedes mirror blinkers mounted in my factory mirrors. I should have gotten them today but I had an argument with the guy at the body shop. I'm going somewhere else to get it done now. Hopefully I'll have them soon.

I bet that guy with the Yellow TL had the base on the Honda M3 Mirrors shaved down to fit his car. I'm sure its possible considering its only plastic.

I dont know. You would have to make sure the bolt holes line up so you can mount the mirror. If that works than I dont see why you cant shave it down. You need a good body shop. Plus its gonna cost you a few bucks. The mirrors are $250 and then you have to get them shaved and painted IF it can even be done. Thats why I'm going with OEM Mercedes mirror blinkers. It might cost more, but at least its an original dealer part and I know I wont have any problems.

I am keeping my factory mirrors. All they're gonna do is add the benz blinker to my factory mirror. Theres no way the actual complete benz mirror will fit our cars. The benz blinkers cost $250. I'm not sure how much the body work is gonna cost yet. I say about $300. They have to paint the mirrors over too.

Well they have to take off your mirrors. Cut a hole in them to fit the Benz blinkers. Paint the whole mirror because they have to use some body filler to make the blinker look flush. Then you just mount them back on the car and wire them into your blinkers which is really easy. Thats it.

I brought the m3 style led blinkers. I havenm't put them on yet maybe next month. Damn I've had them since before christmas. Maybe I'll put them on in 2 weeks. I go to a body shop(working on my car-its a secret) on queens Blvd- Rayco if any Ny heads know of it. And I brought the mirrors in Bay Ridge- A little cute auto shop. Two asian guys own the place. One of them has a sick S2000. Got Damn.....
