    Default Replacement door mirror glass?

    I was after a replacement door mirro glass for my Vectra so the other whilst in a scrappies they had a 58plate vectra SRI in so i popped the mirror glass off thinking it would be the same as my 2008 vectra elite.

    But on removing the mirror glass from my elite it turns out i have a extra plug compared to the SRI glass.

    The SRI mirror just has two little wires on it but the Elite has two little wires plus a black plug that connects to a wire coming out the door mirror.

    Any ideas what this extra plug is for?

    Erm, not sure. I will tell you in about 30minutes when the Mrs comes home for lunch in it.

    It does have a slightly different surround around the glass though, the SRI glass is a complete mirror glass and the one on my elite has a bit of plastic trim all around the glass.

    Well you learn something new everyday. Is the passengers side auto dimming as well as the glass on passengers side seems different?

    Guessing it stops the glare from headlights? Same as the auto dimming rear view mirror?

    i think auto-dip are engaged when the car is put into reverse and the wing mirrors will dip down automatically to allow easier parking
