Post www.streeteffectz.com ???

When is your web site going to be up?

Are you going to have a gallery of your installs?

Keep up the good work!...Your white TL is the tightest TL I have EVER SEEN!!!

What WOULD you sell it for if you did?

I would put the Mercedes Blinkers in the side mirrors...I did that on my GS4 and it is AWESOME!

Got any pics of them? I really wanted to do it for the TL, but for that much $$ i don't know if it is worth it....how much installation of the mirrors itself was required? Was it at least a similiar fit?

A bodyshop guy did it for me! Close but not an exact fit.....he had to take the blinker and about a centimeter around the blinker/light and cut my mirror and mold the 2 together!!!! BUT THE JOB HE DID IS AWESOME! I MEAN IT IS "PERFECT"! THE PAINT MATCHES PERFECT, NO LINE, NO CRACKS, NO NOTHING...I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER JOB

Only thing know is I have all the wires ran but I'm waiting on the wiring pig tail to get here...should be here Tuesday or so. I don't know why it didn't come with the housings but it doesn't!
The price, the compliments, to see that look at night is AWESOME....folks are like WHAT THE HELL, ON A LEX?

Whoa, $175 per blinker or for both? Looks phat. Maybe I'll get a set. How about the
S-Class style? The ones that go across the whole mirror, think I can get those? Thanks for th info.

The S Class has more molding/rubber in the back and that makes it not enough room for the motor/heater/mirror. Would have been a lot of trouble in the Lexus, not sure about the Acura....but the one's that I have LOOK AWESOME.....

Did you pay $175 each or for both? I am seriously considering doing this. Also, what kind of bulbs go in those blinkers? Are they LEDs or wedge bulbs? I would like to make them superwhite. They look great. Also, my girls dad just bought a S500 and his blinker is bigger than my whole mirror so forget those.

Lights are LED's....INSTANT ON AND OFF....just like the new benz's tail lights, not like a regular bulb. Bright as hell and a DEFINITE eye catcher....people are like WHOA!!!!!! Sorry it took so long to get back...I've had pictures forever!

Man that looks sweet as hell. That's going to be my next mod on my TL as soon as I fix it. What's the total cost? including bodyshop work & labor & parts. I won't get the sidemarkers no more.

ECLASS HOUSING/BLINKER WAS $175 EACH HAD TO GET DIRECTLY FROM DEALER

Bodywork is PERFECT...only $250 to mold/cut/paint Benz/Lexus mirror together!

Unistall/Install/Hookup $60

Hookup on all 3....$660 total!!!

WOULD LOOK AWESOME ON TL.....DON'T GET SIDE MARKERS...IT'S 2001 BABY!!! THAT'S OLD!!!
