Are the housings required for the bulbs or can they be fitted into the stock housings?

While I was at it I installed new OEM mirrors as well.
These are from a later 7x series but they are a direct fit. Most of the old 1980's mirrors rattle and shake and I didn't want any of that.
Part numbers:
Difference between the two is that the later ones are not "breakaway" style. They are purely manual adjusting.
The gasket is slightly different and you can see the difference here:
But in all honesty it is a great upgrade over the old OEM iterations which are no longer available here or in Japan.

I also got a chrome mirror from Amayama the other day, allegedly OEM but the fit is off. It's hard to tell in photos but the base tilts back toward the window too much:
Here is the original mirror on the driver (RH) side, you can see how this sits straight up:
Perhaps I should've added a wood shim during installation?!

Those are OEM. Murakami's are the OEM mirror manufacturer.

New front sway bar bushings. Very worth the effort.
Out with the old crap. Bushings were torn, hard and not doing what they need to do: cushion and support.
