Cheap LEDS???

So I decided to purchase a set of LED lights for the side view mirrors on my 2005 acura tl and upon first looking at them I thought they had looked cheap. My initial intention for getting Led turn signal lights was to have the stock side mirrors removed and replaced with the 2007-2008 side mirrors with the LED blinkers. What would you guys say? Do theses side blinkers look cheap and would look out of place on my car? I will post a photo of the blinker for you all to see.
Here is the LED blinker.

The insult is very unnecessary. Obviously the reason I havent opened it yet to try it is because I am possibly thinking about sending it back to the person that mailed it to me.

LOL the steering wheel happens when ppl dont wash their hands!!

dirt and oils will remove the cushiony padding from steering wheels


kind of the same effect as a populated pathway, ppl will touch railings and rocks and over time, the dirt and oils from hands smooth the rough rocks
