Sorry for all these questions about the mirror, but I'm really interested in getting one but they are not inexpensive. Just doing my due dilligence, here.

My stock mirror did not have the mood lighting option, so I can't comment on this feature. As for the map light it's more of amber color and is very effective, just as good as my stock unit. The main reason I purchased this mirror was for the Homelink and of all the crazy things the compass. After that I figuired since it was some money I might as well buy the one with all the bells and wistles and I was not disapointed.

Very nice install by the way! Like the mirror, but $350 is a bit steep for me to get homelink, which is why I like it.
Thanks,
Rick
