'10 CL550, '12 GL550
I did this on my 2007 GL, replacing both with used genuine 2011 or 12 mirrors sourced from eBay. It was plug and play.
it seems more GL came with lane change warning in later years, which wasn’t a feature on my 2007. To get around this, the mirrors i found were ML items, those cars usually not so equipped. They are otherwise same parts as GL.
of course my color was obsolete by 2012, so $450 to have replacements painted. My body shop are geniuses and paint is perfect.
$200+ for drivers, $95 for passenger side. The auto dimming glass alone is a $350+ part new.
puddle lighting changed from incandescent to led, but this creates no problem.
I personally wouldn’t consider Chinese knockoffs as shown in original post.
