Default The light is looking dim...

I've had my auto dimming rear view mirror for over a year now and every time I'm making a late night commute on the highway I wish my side mirrors dimmed too. I've been working on them now for the last month or two and mounted them last week. I just figured out the wiring 20 minutes ago and now all three mirrors are dimming!

I'll post up some more information later but for now all you get is this picture of them dimming in my garage.

Did you change the hole mirror or just the glass in stock mirror housing?

Default The whole assembly is different.

I used the C4 mounting brackets and everything else is from an A4/S4.

I should change that picture to say 1999-2002 B5, because S4 mirrors will work too.

Default I definitely took notes on the wiring!

After all the trouble I had trying to figure it out...

I'll try to take some pictures of my car on Monday; but yes, I've got two full sized mirrors now and they're black.
