E55 blinker mirrors

I was just looking at some of the upgrades some have done to change the w202 mirrors to the mirrors with the built in blinkers. Are the E55 mirrors interchangable with the w202 mirrors? I noticed a seller on ebay who is selling the blinker covers who says that the blinker covers will fit

"
For 1996-1999 W210 E-Class ( all E-Class models)
For 1995-2000 W202 C-Class ( all C-Class models)
For 1995-1999 W140 S-Class ( all S-Class models excpet S420 and coupe)"

and a pic of a someone who just installed the E55 mirrors theselves.

To be sure, get a close up photo of your car's side mirrors focusing on the base area where they attach the side mirrors. Then look for an E-Class W210 and compare if they have the same shape.

I've been thinking about this mod too. I think, those OEM side mirrors with blinkers come from 2000 & up W210. Earlier models of W210 don't have it.

202 and 210 (96-99) wing mirrors interchange. unless you're partial to the
shorter LED array from the face lifted 210s, you can source asian made mirror
shells with built in LEDs for $150. you'd still have to get them color matched/
painted. installation is about 3-6 hrs for both sides. not a speed contest so
just put some tunes on and proceed methodically. I'd say that the degree of
difficulty (10 high) is about a 3-4.

I would recommend using OM parts. At least for some of us in Europe this would be necessary to comply with road homologation.

Thank you guys.

I have also seen a few different types of the blinker units just themselves for sale.. Looks like they could be installed with a little custom mod work with a dremel/rotory tool on your current shells which would solve the matching paint issue. But you had better do it right otherwise your stuck buying more shells lol.
