Can you people please tell me what I seeing here?Is it a total replacement for the mirrors, or just some kinda stick-on thing?

Looks like a cover that has an led turn signal that you have to wire up.

That's kinda what I was thinking too.Anyone wanna be the guinnea pig for these?They have the potential to look nice, or crappy, depending on the application and build quality.I figured I'd add it to the way-too-short list of available Versa acc.

Those are LED blinker mirror covers and eh, they look kinda ricey IMO...if the LEDs were orange (read: legal) they would be a bit better, but they're 'hyperwhite'. The blinker portion could also stand to be a different shape, but again, that's just my opinion.

I agree on the look.I also hadn't thought about the legality of using them as turn signals.Maybe we better pass this one up!

If you really wanted to use them, you could make them legal fairly easily.Either paint the diffuser orange, or swap out the LED's for some orange ones. Actually, the photos in the auction show orange LEDs anyway.

I've never liked mirror-mounted signals at all. They look terrible, in my opinion. I'm irritated that they're going to be a factory fixture on the new Altima.

The one thing that catches my eye about that auction is the phrase "Genuine Nissan Parts." Which ones? No Tiida, Latio, or Versa I'm aware of comes with stock mirror signals...

My girlfriends wants to get that for her versa, we have a black one so we have problems at night with people not paying attention on the highway trying to merge at the same time as us. and since the turn signals are straight in the front of the car they can't tell we are moving over lanes.

also my roomate is a body man/painter so he'd paint the mirrors for us for free
