I would want to know if these are mirrors with built-in signal lights or something that is stuck on behind the existing mirrors!?

Not impressed that you can see the orange light from the gap between the edge of the mirror and the housing, doesn look 'clean'.

Also not sure of the practicality of these, they don't blink i'm guessing which is probably a good thing as it would be distracting.

All at $160

What happens to the auto dimming feature of the drivers mirror?

RumbleUK: I believe it's a replacement mirror (glass), not the housing itself. You will still have the stock signal on the back (front side of the car).

Boom vang: exactly. It's sort of redundant to have 2 signals, even though both sides would help functionally. I was gunna get those mirrors for my old Rav4, but that was going for a SUV rugged look. Not sure that would match too well with the w203. I'm on the same page as you. Our car isn't a gmc truck.

rlee02135: I do like that it's integrated into the mirror rather than a cheap slap-on part.

I bet a piece of plastic and some epoxy can fix that. Or some black spray paint.

Actually I like the fact that you can't see the lights blinking on the mirror (like on current GMCs or the newest VWs). You'd think that having a blinking green arrow in your dash would be enough.

I had that on a rental Caddy... I found it so annoying at night, especially when you're stopped at a long left turn light.

I actually think they are pretty nice. like how you cant see when the lights are off and they add a little safety. but Ii think I'll go for euro convex mirrors.

I agree, makes your car look like a Tahoe or something. Not necessary either since your LED turn signals on the front of the mirror are visible from behind.

IMHO i would not get those. Stick with the OEM you have now. If you feel like getting a new pair of mirrors get the folding ones.
