Couldn't find an answer through search, so thought one of the knowledgeable members would be able to tell me....
My drivers side mirror has a black plastic surround, but the passenger one doesn't. The viewing angle is not as good as the passenger side with its full size mirror so I foolishly thought 'oh someone has put a cheap replacement on it'
So bought a new one with no frame.... but then when I went to change it saw there was an extra connection (in addition to the heating terminals).
Now I'm guessing this is something to do with dimming??
But my questions are:
Is the horrible frame essential for the dimming?
And why does the passenger side not have it?
