seems like the anti glare coating is damaged. the mirror has a coating that if you turn on the dimming feature on the rear view mirror, it will work on the side mirrors as well. seems like that's damaged

i can see it in the picture.. how did you damage it?
not sure if this can be covered under warranty, but glass itself is not cheap..
maybe you can find a used mirror on ebay. that's what did on my ls430. paid $50 n installed it myself.
