Rear View Mirror

I know this is not as unique as many do to there cars, but, I needed a new Rear View Mirror. The original was starting to look old and the reflection just was not as good as original. The OEM 80-82 mirrors were fairly expensive. Soooo, I found a C5 mirror with courtisy lights. Easy upgrade to tap into the center dome light assy. Now, I have a great looking and better functioning mirror all for under $30.00 Al

Looks like a great upgrade, been checking it out for my 74. I notice they call out different mounts, wedge, button, cam lock, what would the stock mount on my 74 be called?

Me too, the garage door opener would be nice to have, along with auto-dim feature.

most of these mirrors just require a power and ground to work

Not so sure, the temperature will likely need a sensor somewhere.

The mirror is probably a little bigger than stock but for me, that is not a deal breaker. Would love to get the details on this particular one, which car did it come from, year and how did he connect it.
