Aftermarket Mirror's for an 05 X Sedan
 

Back in Dec i got into a minor fender bender with an older lady, she hit me in the front end drivers side not causing alot of dmg but she folded my drivers side mirror outward and cracked the bottom of the housing. Now i'm finally able to take the time to get it fixed and I was searching online for a mirror replacement and i've come to a cross road.

Should I get an OE Replacement for 60-70 bux (same one on ebay for 110) or go oem for 250ish or take an entire different route and get the K6 M3 look alikes with the LED arrows in the mirror and led turn signal?

I also have another question, I see online that it says Mirror Heated or Not heated how can I tell if my mirrors are heated? My seats are heated, and I have the dual zone climate control and when I hold down the unlock button on my ikey all 4 windows roll down. And i noticed some of those options are "Premium" package options so not sure if it matters but I also have the "wood kit" around the radio,ac and on my shift knob.

So if you have AM Mirrors please tell me your experience with them, who makes and what you paid and if you remember a link to buy the same set if possible or if you bought them and had a horrible experience and you went back to OE/OEM parts.

thanks for your time and input its always appreciated.

you have heated mirrors.

Most people just stick with OEM. I dont see much AM around.

It's not that I doubt your word, but I just would like to know what makes it certain that I have heated mirrors?

Beacause all 05s have them.

They come on with the rear defrost.


Stick with stock mirrors. These aftermarket mirrors sometimes make the car look cheap.

i dont know about all 05's having them but it sounds like your the loaded model so you SHOULD have them...

to turn them on is with the rear defroster. They are not really hot, at most they are warm. My 4th gen maxima was turned on the same way but you can tell by the touch they were on. Not burning hot but there is no debate on hot or cold. On the G, its like you gotta think about it. but it gets the job done.

IIRC, the manual says it too.

Oh well thats good to know that they come on w/ the Rear Defroster. The mirror it self isn't broken its just the Housing thats cracked on the bottom.

Any place online that sells OEM stuff at some sort of discount?

^ RockAuto?

Can you make the old lady pay?

all Xs have heated mirrors..if its a rwd u can find out from the dealer..but if you have dual climate control u prob have the heated
