Default Driver Side Mirror Help

I need a new driver side mirror with heat, dimming, and memory. Just the glass with the connections on the back. If there is no such thing without buying the whole mirror who has the best price? Is it possible to switch the guts of a new one into my old mirror?

Yes, it is possible just to replace the mirror glass... I installed a set of these and get many comments on how OEM they look.

If you don't want these mirror's get a mirror from a recycler and pop the mirror out of yours and swap in the mirror from your donor mirror assy

I replaced the mirror with heated and no dimming.

GM wanted $390 for the auto dim/heated. I used a heated glass pn 12530715 - msrp 149.22 and dealer sold it for 129.76. Eliminated the auto dim feature because it's just ridiculous to spend nearly $400 for a rear view mirror.

Ordered the glass (WITHOUT DIMMING) for $92
Dimming doesn't last anyway

I bought the whole mirror, heated and the same color of my car with OEM plugs at a Corvette only salvage yard. Cost: $99.00...
