Would I juts take the mirror, or take the mirror + whatever the mirror is wired to? Please let me know, because I'm going there tomorrow, thanks in advanced guys. 1998 Mercury Mystique LS - Looking for SVT EXHAUST, SVT Rear bumper (silver frost) and ANY rocker mouldings (side skirts)

BTW, that is the company that makes most of the OEM electrochromatic mirrors, plus they throw extra features on there. Now... here's the fun part! You will find this mirror in nearly all higher end GM products... Watch out, because if you get it from a CAR, it will probly only be a compass mirror due to the car more than likely having an outside temp readout on the dash. Now GM trucks (including Suburbans and Vans), on the other hand, will have the compass/temp mirror. Read my thread in Aesthetics for more information... Also, if you're getting this off a junked car... don't forget to take: Harness (cut the cable as long as possible!) Temp sensor (under the hood... you'll have to find it, though!) The harness to the mirror is NOT AVAILABLE, so make sure you get it! Last edited by Big Daddy Kane; 08/08/06 11:57 PM.

Thank you so much, I'll be looking to grab one of these, and yes GM does make them, we have one in our Vue redline, but I was thinking of grabbing one off a crown victoria or something . 1998 Mercury Mystique LS - Looking for SVT EXHAUST, SVT Rear bumper (silver frost) and ANY rocker mouldings (side skirts)

I wish I could find a list of vehicles that carried them as factory options... would make it easier for people in U-Pull yards. Guess I can start my own list: GM Full Size Trucks/Vans/SUVs Ford ?
