I'm the OP of this thread, and I would definitely have bought this back to US if I still have my G since I'm currently in Korea now..

Man, would love to do this to my G. It's a very easy wiring mod. So easy for the FX. It's a shame there are no LED covers available for the G.

FYI on these, my order has shipped, painted to match and all. Anxious to install on arrival, but I'm sure it will be a few weeks coming from Japan.

Since I seem to be the guinea pig on these, I'll let you all know how it goes.

Done! Sorry for the delay, but I needed a good night with several hours to be patient with this install.

The seller above on Ebay is a fraud, unfortunately. Prior to purchase I asked him if they would fit a 2013 Sedan, and he said they would. When they arrived, they did not. Obviously, I was livid. They were much larger than the stock OEM covers. Worst part is I paid extra to have them painted my vehicle color, and he said I'd be losing that money if I returned them (plus the added expense of sending them back to Taiwan). It was hell going back and forth a few weeks with him to even accept a return. So I said to hell with it.

I decided to keep my stock OEM covers and carfeully dremel out the hole myself using the pattern from the incorrect covers that he sent. I removed the LED strips and made sure that they fit flush on the stock covers first, which they did, thankfully.

The interior door panels have to be completely removed to get to the 3 screws which hold the mirror assembly on. After they are removed, the mirror assembly itself has to be completely removed and disassembled to fish wire through the pivoting head. On the interior mirror assembly, I had to cut / shave off a good amount of supporting plastic (facing the front) for the blinkers to fit. I drilled a hole above the pivot on the mirror assembly to make it easier to feed the wiring through.





From there it's a matter of snaking it through the door and body through the existing wiring tube. Once you get to the ECM (passenger side kick panel) tap into yellow for left, green for right.





It was a bitch of a job, but worth it in my opinion.

Daytime brightness don't do them justice. They are as bright, if not brighter than my front turning signal LED's. I'll try and get more close ups at dusk / night and without the rain soon.

The covers are the originals, snapped back on easily. I just had to shave / grind down some of the internal housing to make room for the backend of the LEDs. The LEDs were held in using a hot glue gun.

I like the outcome and wish I could get that done too but that's not something I think I could do myself unfortunately... the worst case it doesn't seem like you're that far from me haha, only a bit over 1h away from me, maybe you should start offering that mod to people to make some extra $$$
