Algherd, I bought mine from Amazon for convenience and they appear to be a little more expensive than other types. They were installed by our Nissan Dealer and they worked - see attached. There are a lot of these around AliExpress etc so you need to look around but the open point is the quality, do they fit and work - Dave

So... I finally ordered up another set, and got brave with a file!
Got some smoked ones

These even use the same wiring connector as the originals, so in that respect, a direct swap.
I had the same issue with the covers not sitting flush, so I fitted the indicator, then where it was catching on the black rim by the mirror glass, scored with a sharp knife. Removed the indicator again, and carefully filed the bit beyond the score mark until it was flush with the rest of the plastic. After that an almost perfect fit.
And where I struggled to remove the mirror housing last time, I discovered that if I got my removal tool in just below the motor, you can just about see a plastic clip each side. I released these after releasing all the top clips, and the casing came off as hoped.
