Default side mirror issue

Recently started having an issue where when the heater in the driver's side mirror heats up, the autodimming doesn't dim in that spot. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm not sure if I can just replace the glass like the rear view mirror of if I need to replace the entire side mirror. I've searched the IS2 forums and didn't really find an answer. Thanks!

I haven't read about that issue specifically; but yes, you can just replace the glass portion of the side mirror. Seem plenty on ebay from Lexus dealerships selling them.

Yikes. Might just have to tint the windows and not worry about it. I just need to replace the glass, which looks to be about $150. I don't need the actuator and such.
