Its an exchange service that can be done in Japan, you send yours off & they return them like that.

Sorry I misread the post (as usual )
The headlights are a changeover service.
The LED mirrors you can buy just the rear casing with the LED lights installed, I bought mine $102 from the monster
There's several sets going for the same price now:

You dismantle your mirrors, and use the new case you get. If you have factory paint you can ask for them to be painted your factory color so they go straight on. You will need to run the extra wires for the indicators though.

I won my auction a few days ago, but I'm pretty sure I'm having them shipped over in a container with some other bits so they wont be here in a hurry.
The closest wiring would be the repeater indicators in the guards I'd guess.

Yeh those LED mods on the lights are a popular thing in Japan, my mate is gonna do it to his Cedric.
I was told this aristo is on coilovers and has no fancy control arm mods, all stock. Just adjusted the knob to get that camber. The only fender modifications was a bit of a trim and a slight pull.
