They are on eBay. I saw them yesterday.
BUT..
They are not from the same seller nor genuine. This seller does have 98-100% feedback and these mirrors are half the price of the other ones.

Send an e-mail to this guy: dnmind@gmail.com . He has contacts inside Honda Thailand and can maybe get them shipped out to you.

2010 Honda Insight Sight mirrors

Have anyone looked at heated side mirror with turn signal from 2010 Honda Insight yet? I think it is similar to 2009/10 Honda FIT. If the attachment is the same as FIT, we could install it with minimum modifications except wiring. I am sure there are Honda technicians in this forum. They will be able to help/confirm. Just an idea since I am looking to put it on my FIT.

Unhappy Vendor for turn signals in mirror

I ordered these via eBay and they arrived promptly from Taiwan.
They appeared very well made.
However, they seem to apply to the Japanese model only (Not US model), as confirmed by the vendor.
Some confusion over color, as the order did not mention color. I had assumed black ABS, and the vendor wanted $48 additional to match the color of my car. But the Base Model Fit comes with black mirrors. Vendor Email said they were beige, which they were.
Since they would not fit my car, she offered a refund upon return. I returned them yesterday.

Too bad. It is a great idea.

I'm going to try again, but a true DIY with standard 12 Volt LED modules. I'll let you know how it goes.

Nowhere in the world are there black mirrors with turn signals in them.

I had the same color as the body of the car shipped with mine, and they worked fine. It doesn't look out of place in the slightest. Maybe you can find a solution that you'll be happy with; after all, it's your car, your money, and you have to look at it every day.

There's always the option of those stick-on LED thingies that people put on big pickups.

I think I put pictures somewhere else on the board, but here's more:








If I take the fit to work tomorrow morning, I'll take some pictures during my lunch-break.

Awesome... so what seller? I think its the same seller I was about to buy from, but the Color "code" (or color name) they had for 'blue' was different than the US name. So I didnt want to risk it. If you could point us to seller, as well as specific color code you selected, this would help a ton.

Perfect color match?

I bought from eBay Seller: plijokkjiu46521kkjh: Parts Accessories items on eBay Motors

The color that both of us have, B548P is called Blue Pearl Sensation in the US, and outside the US it's called Deep Sapphire Blue Pearl. If you cross-reference paint-codes, you'll never be wrong.

I asked the seller if he had any and he said no more. This was about a month ago. He still doesn't have any up on his eBay site.
