Door mirror glass
As above the glass was broken so today I thought I would swap it for some I had in the garage.
Fits ok but the old one had two single wires to the top left corner and another electrical plug on the side.
The replacement does not have the 2nd plug. Am I missing something? What is the plug for?
Thanks.

Probably auto-dimming. I'm not really a fan of auto-dimming side mirrors, so I personally wouldn't worry about it.

Of course. I have noticed them go dimmer. The replacement glass has a blue tint so looks cool.

I've done the same but I don't see mine dimming. Are you saying the glass dims even tho they are not plugged in?

I have that option as well. Someone drove it off with their van. Insurance replaced it for a brand new one. You should see the prices of a mirror with that option! Haha. Almost 2200€ for one complete mirror not even talking having the cover painted.
