Default Rear view mirror differences?

Anyone know what the difference is between the early C4 map light mirror with one connector and the later one with two connectors? I don't see any additional features on the later one.

You didn't state how late on the later model. Maybe it has an auto feature for those bright lights behind you and the early one does not.

Just guessing.

I was looking at a '92. It still has the day/night switch on it, so it's something else that's different.

The later mirrors have a small bulb that shines down on the console.
