Default Had enough of these mirrors!!!

Auto dimming, heated, anti-glare outside mirrors...........well it would be nice if I could actually see anything in them, they are so dark.

No better at night, even darker. Don't suppose the tinted windows help much though.

That liquid stuff in them wasn't looking good. Took the drivers side mirror out........and made it worse:



Squeezed most of the liquid out, but still looking awful:



Passenger side was just as bad.

OE replacements are scary expensive. Only one thing for it, ebay cheepo glass.

Supposed to be an exact shape match for the D3, but had to laugh when the mirrors arrived, way too big!

Complained and sent measurements. Got 2 more mirrors back. Not a perfect fit, but not bad.

Stuck them over the old mirrors, and now I can actually see things a lot clearer................ for a change.









Ok, had to sacrifice all the super duper stuff that the mirrors are supposed to do, but on the other hand, I'm a lot happier, especially when reversing
