CoOl21,

The mirrors are called electrochromic (sometimes called electrochromatic) glass. There's liquid that changes when it gets a electric signal.

They are only found on 1997+ cars, so be careful in a junkyard or partout hunt since those years are decreasing in number.

The auto-dimming glass is available from the dealer but it is very expensive around $280-$360 depending on the seller. The part number for one of the sides is 87906-24070.

All other glass you see for cheap (under $30) are not auto-dimming, such as the ones on rockauto or amazon etc.

OpenRoad Lexus here in BC wanted $530...

Is there a good way to tell if it is leaking, is something like this broken? or still salvageable?

Also having side mirror issues, but at night. They are clear as a bell during the day, but at night they become a splotchy blue and clear.
