i think mine may not work too well thn as it never seems to have dimmed much, but i havent driven it all that much in the dark out of streetlit areas! i think i will live with it if its shot at those prices! no idea why ive got 1 blue and 1 yellow though! surely they should be the same?

My off-side has a surround but looks blue. It does dim:)

Near side also blue but no surround. It doesn't dim.

How can you drive around peter with a non dimming nearside mirror,,get a LHD one and have 2 dimming mirrors

Oooo!! :shock:

You still got that blank button Malcolm?? :rolleyes:

Actually I find the non-dim near side mirror quite useful, with both RVM and off side door mirror black it's the only way to what's behind!!

It depends on where you look at it,in the sun or shade, the newer versions are less gold looking

Are you having trouble getting the old one out? If so, push the bottom of the glass upwards and gently lever the top out. There's a spring clip on the top. Re-installation is easy. After making the electrical connection, locate the lugs in the holes and use a small flat lever to lift the spring clip. Ease it into position and gently withdraw the lever. :D

thanks for the info, Malcolm and whitenemesis were very 'quick on the draw' sending me actual diagrams etc.
Thank you so much for all of your help.
many thanks
