Default Driver Side Rear View Mirror

My driver side rear view mirror is shot, as in completely yellowed out doesn't dim and needs replacement. I haven't seen a post on this so I thought I would ask if anyone has a fix.
Thanks

That's what I did. It doesn't dim anymore, but it looks good, and is functional as a mirror. The original mirror was shot when I bought the car, and this looks SO much better. Last I checked, you can replace the OEM dimming mirror, but the part is over $500.00. How much is the dimming function worth to you?

The drivers side outside mirror was available last year. I know because I bought one. I can’t remember the vendor but paid around $150.00 for a new one. I would do some research. Google is your best friend.

You can always upgrade to the muthco LED signal mirrors too since yours are shot

I had them and loved them
