I have an 03 GS430 with Nav and ML and my side mirrors don't auto dim either. Mine is either broken or it doesn't auto dim. Surprising since my 99 LS had auto dimming side and rear mirrors. A little off topic, but does the side mirrors tilt down as well in reverse? My 04 RX and 99 LS did, but I can't get my 03 GS mirrors to tilt. Mine could be broken though and maybe that is why it doesn't auto dim either.
Ok boss, we had a thread about this recently, so check for yourself. I know for a fact that i have it because i've had to fix a wiring issue just to have them enabled again.

do we get left out of everything?"ONE PIN ON THE BACK LENSE PANEL TO CONNECT HARNESS (ONLY ONE PIN EACH SIDE) FOR HEATED MIRROR USE (SEE PIC)"
still think this is so much to pay for JUST glass. would happily pay this for the side views complete and not just the glass. would think it would be the same just to tint them locally for cheaper! just my $0.02

My gs has a plug for auto dimming and 2 wires for heat. But they do not auto dim. You can check ur mirrors, if they have auto dimming manually. Take them out and look. If they have 2 connections a plug and than 2 wires the 2 wires are for heat and the plug is auto dimming. I'll try to get some pics to show you what I mean.

I am getting these as well. Question,are those lines near the end of the glass for the "wide angle" view? I believe it said in the item description it was "wide" glass. Don't know if you got a chance to install them yet,but seeing them in person are the lines really visible? Meaning does it look tacky with those lines? Thanks

ill post up a pic of the back of the stock mirror in a few... i know there is a plug i disconnected and 2 other wires going into part of the mirror that i couldnt remove without cutting.. the only thing i did with the new mirrors is clip in the one white connector, sealed off the unused extra 2 wires that were going to the old mirror, then installed them into the sideview housings.. i cant verify auto dim because my windows have always been too dark to notice, and i forgot to try checking with the flashlight before i took them out... honestly, i didnt even realize these things were heated either... the only thing that matters to me is power movement functions and thats got nothing to do with the wiring on the mirror at all..

back of usdm oem mirror:
the arrow points to the connector that is the same as the one on the jdm mirror. that connection point does get hooked back up in the new mirror and it clips right in.. the other wires.... not happening (without work anyways) and there are none like that on the jdm set... i cant tell you 100% which function is controlled by the connector and what the other wires i clipped were for, but im gonna assume the clipped wires are heat the way they were covered up with that gray plastic insulator piece and led towards the back of the glass.. this things not getting driven in the snow so my concern for melting ice off the mirrors isnt there... if you guys like or need that feature you might want to look into it further.

maybe.. but could you really pick up an oem set of full side mirror housings (painted to match), internals, motors, wiring and glass for $140? lol.. this is a part for a lexus... it is what it is.. "cheap" is relative... you could tint your glass blue if you want.. but these wont scratch, peel or fade and its a wide angle lense on the edge to help with blind spots. i like them and it was worth the $, to me... also, if you can replace the glass as easily as this (it seriously took about one minute per side) whats the point in bothering with buying an entire new assembly and having to pull your doors apart and risk paint not matching, etc... now that's not worth it.

Was thinking of getting these Arrow LED door mirrors. Does anyone have any feedback about these?
