Default light sensitive mirrors

Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone could answer me a question? I have the light sensitive mirror package and was wondering if both exterior mirrors are supposed to have the dimming(?) feature. Because if they are my passenger side one is broken. Thanks!

Why don't people just read the manual or view the video?

Only the drive side is electrochromic.

As for read the manual many question can be answer from the manual. The only reason I read my owner manual is that I was wait for a Car ferry to get to my parents place.

jeeze dude!

you're in FLA!

C'mon!

I "might" have sympathy for you if you were in the northeast and it was 2 degrees outside and snowing!

the first thing i did when I got my car was to read the owners manual.

LOTS of useful info in there!

Man talk about giving a guy a hard time!!! That's what this forum is all about. No stupid or silly or lazy questions around here. I don't think they do the passengers side because unless your passing there's nobody in that mirror. Especially if you have them directed at the blind spots and not all three mirrors looking to the rear. Merry Christmas.

Aw come-on guys and give him a break. It is getting to where people are apologizing in advance in case they posted a dup and now you have to prefix a question with "I sorry if I missed a section of my manual but.."

I wish I lived in FLa. and could go out and play with my car.

If this was considered a tough response then I don't know what to make of real news groups, where people don't care abou their post counts or stars, and where the least offensive response to this kind of question would most likely have been "RTFM".
