    What do you think? I've been thinking about mounting cams in all our cars since they're not expensive anymore and this would just slip right over my existing non functional autodimmer.

    Wait a sec, does that mean my non functioning auto dimming mirror is not the only one that doesn't work lol. Mine started leaking the fluid out of it in November. That does look like a pretty cool replacement and honestly front and rear camera's wouldn't be a bad thing

    Shame they don't last and that replacements are so expensive, auto dimming mirrors are not exactly bleeding edge tech.

    yeah no s*** you can actually get much better lighting if you get convertible units.
    it's amazing how much easier it is to see s*** in an 85 Mustang GT when the convertible rear view mirror is adding light to that ****ty ass single bulb in the roof behind the sunroof.
    although on my daily I switched out to a manual damper but that was so I could sell someone the Auto dimmer. I paid 10 bucks for my new mirror and I sold the Auto dimmer for 80

    I got the 7 dollar one and never looked back. Wait no, yes I can look back now, ha ha. The autodim I have is a coffee table ornament but I'll probably install it if I ever try to sell the car.

    Gotta read the listings, the first one is damaged, some are listed as for a Nissan, etc.

    How did you complete a search without spending any time at all?

    267 Mirror-Rear View Type Car $6.99 $0.00
    267-2 Mirror-Rear View W/Electr Car $19.99 $0.00

    Good to know- I'm going with the one in the post though since I really want the cams to record traffic nonsense/ cop interactions.
