Great upgrade! Pic

I just finished the auto-dimming interior mirror upgrade and it works great. Swapped out the interior mirror of my 2000 vert with one for a 2001. This is one of the best upgrades for the early C5 (97-00). I used the instructions posted here on the forum and ordered the parts from Fred Beans, $226.70. Took about an hour.

Looks good. Does this still have the small light on the passenger side to light up the shifter area?

it's auto dimming. the earlier cars did not have this. also the lights are LED vs. incandescent which get very hot.

i'm going to do this upgrade soon.

I did this mod about 2 years ago - and it was one of the most satisfying ones I ever tried....

Here's a link to the instructions that I followed, and it worked perfectly.
