Video Transcript for Review of K Source Replacement Mirrors - Replacement Lexus Driver Mirror - KS70670T

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this K Source replacement side view mirror. This is gonna be a direct replacement for the driver side factory mirror on your 2013 - 2015 Lexus ES 300H and 350. This is modeled after your Lexus's original look and fit so you really shouldn't be able to tell that it's a replacement mirror. Should look like it came with your Lexus right from the factory. So you don't have to worry about that pieced together from the junkyard, sort of, look.

Everything should look very integrated and complete again for you. And because this does feature that same manufacturer's look and fit, it is going to be a very simple installation. You're not gonna have to do any drilling. It's gonna have the same footprint and mounting points as the factory mirror and it will plug right into your existing electrical wiring. That's going to give you the power remote capability, so you can adjust the near face position with the factory power controls inside your vehicle.

It's also going to give you the heated mirror glass, so it can clear frost, and ice, and help reduce fogging. We also have the amber light here on the side, that's going to flash when your turn signal is activated. And we also have the puddle lamp underneath that's going to illuminate the area under the mirror. So all those features, of course, are only going to be compatible with a vehicle that is already set up for those functions. It's not going to add those capabilities to a vehicle that doesn't already have them.

This mirror does not support the auto dimming or memory functions, so if you had those functionalities before this might be a little bit less for you. It does not support the blind spot detection either. So just a few shortcomings compared to the original. But overall, a really great replacement for you. It is gonna be a OE grade construction, so gonna be same quality as the original.

The front of the glass is plated with a reflective chrome, so it's gonna give you a nice, clear image. It is a flat lens like most driver's side mirror, so it's gonna give you a true representation of the object size. So as you're changing lanes or backing up, you're not gonna have to worry about not knowing how far back other vehicles are or obstacles. And this does have the breakaway design, so the mirror will fold in when it's struck to help deter breakage. So if you we're to run into a parking post, or the side of your garage, or something like that, it's gonna help fold in, absorb some of that impact, to reduce the chance of damaging it. It does have a durable plastic housing with this black finish, so it is going to look really nice on your vehicle. This can be painted to match your vehicle's color, if you like. And for those of you who do need a little bit more reassurance that this is going to work for your vehicle. And you can see the original equipment numbers on the screen there. So if you're going through your owner's manual or when you remove the original mirror, if you see either one of those numbers, you can trust this is gonna be the replacement that you need. And this is just the driver's side mirror. If you're also needing the passenger side we also have that available here at etrailer.com. You can find it using that part number that you see on the screen there. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
