Eh I'd try em if my stock ones get broken off or damaged but I wouldnt spend money to replace perfectly good mirrors.. They seem to have an led light under the mirror too I wonder how that works, like is it always on or come on with blinker?

They have LEDs under the covers. I wonder if they turn on when you open the door. I remember someone saying they look out of place on our car. But ive seen them a long time ago on ebay

These have been out for a while and not all of them have the chrome trim.
From my understanding these are not plug and play so I never bothered with them.

These are not plug and play. Well, sort of.
The turn signal indicator will wire up with no problems.

However, unless your original mirror comes with the built in puddle lights, you will need to re-wire the puddle lights on the new mirror covers. For the sedan it will be easier as you can just wire it to the puddle lamps located at the bottom of the door. For the coupe there is no puddle light under the door so you will need to wire the lights to the dome light assembly. This is only if you want the puddle light to turn on when you lock/unlock and or open and close the door.

Still, I think the 204 lines are not in harmony with the 203. Just my opinion though.
If you are lazy I suppose you can only wire the turn signal indicator and disregard the puddle light. It is nice to have though because when the puddle light is on it can almost light up the entire side of the car... I would say even brighter than the LED license plate lights.

I really dislike the design of those. It looks like a crows foot or something. To each their own though.

Thanks for sharing!

The chrome looks tacky and I'm not a fan of the puddle light. The design of the mirror/car door isn't suited for a puddle light like a SUV mirror would be.

the chrome is pretty bad, but like others have said, there are some without it.

hmm... I would disagree with regard to the puddle light. My M5 has LED puddle lights (stock) in the mirrors and I find it quite useful. Also, w211's have puddle lights in the mirrors and a few w203 members have retrofitted those mirrors in as well (Carlos and Doug are the notable ones).

@Phil
I just realized that I was thinking about the puddle light as a person still in the car. I forgot how useful it'd be on the outside of the car. LMAO.

A friend of mine went into production for aftermarket led door handle lights a while back but didn't have much success. His market was for the 3 series that came w/out the light. Apparently he didn't have much of a market outside of that either.
