I don't know about anyone else, but I HATE the american style auto-dimming mirrors. They make everything looks yellowish, even some in the daytime. Meanwhile European style auto-dimming mirrors give everything a blue tint. I personally find it much easier on the eyes and find it looks better from a spectators standpoint as well. So, I know it's easy enough to get a rearview mirro, hell any BMW, Mercedes, volkswagon etc. would work, but what about side mirrors. Anyone know how to go about get a european styl auto-dimming side mirrors?

Just bought a replacement mirror with Auto-dimming, Compass, and Temp. Need to figure out how to SAFELY remove the original '05 mirror. Any ideas?

I looked all over the bracket and can't see a set screw? I just don't want to break the windshield by prying anywhere I shouldn't of course. There is a wavy-looking opening at the top of the bracket but I can't feel a screw there? I tried with small jewler's screw drivers and a torx bit. There seems to be a middle panel on the bracket. I wonder if the screw is under this panel? Just don't want to hurt my "baby".

Just put a screwdriver in from bottem. Gently twist back and forth while pulling mirror up. You will feel it give and know how much twist to apply-didnt take much...

Are the Gentex mirrors hard to install? Do you have cut wires etc?

They are sold on ebay for about 340.00. How much does the Ford dealer charge for them?
