This is a pretty good price, as I ordered the parts and did my own and know.

BTW, the housings will be a gimmie because yours (already painted) will work just fine.

You need a special tool (security TORX) for this job.

Plus you're going to need the switch to operate them.

Damn. I was typing this exact same post. lkchris tells the truth. You won't need the mirror housing as you just re-use your existing ones. I did mine in about 2 hours total. It took 1.5 hours for the first one, and 30 mins for the second. It's a somewhat simply DIY. Also, I recommend having the dealer do some of their SDS magic after you install them. They can enable them to auto-fold upon locking the car.

Is the switch a direct replacement for the original? Also, I assume the wiring is already there and they just connect?

I assume they are original Mercedes mirrors with auto-dimming, etc.?

Yep, it's all plug and play. The switch is a direct replacement and the wiring is all there. The switch looks a tiny bit different but it's dimensions are identical to the one you'd be popping out.

They are aftermarket, but honestly, you cannot tell the difference.

The mirrors are not original. As far as the auto-dimming, to be honest I am not sure. I would assume it does, but we have not had the opportunity to test if it does have the dimming. If you guys receive the mirrors and you are not happy, you can return them for a refund.

Also, our glass is almost like the convex mirrors, about 1.5 inches of the glass has a different "perspective" for blind-spots and such.

Thanks a lot for your insight lkchris and Benz-O-Rama

I'll take some pictures of the plugs and some close ups of the mirrors and post them soon.

lkchris, have you seen dealer prices for an OEM replacement?

Even if you don't need a replacement, $550 SHIPPED for BOTH COMPLETE FOLDING assemblies seems like a fair price to upgrade to folding mirrors. Just the HOUSING costs $172 at the dealer, and that does not include the mirror/motor and what not. Anyway, thank you for expressing your opinion...

You can/will use your existing glass as well.

Basically, the only thing you swap are the internals and the switch.

That's what I thought when I bought mine, only to later find out early build 2003 models did not have that ability in the instrument cluster. I have a 1/03 build and would not have bought folding mirrors had I known I could not auto fold. I do have the auto fold manual switch but never use it. If I ever get bored I should switch back to my stock mirrors and switch and sell mine. I do have the OEM ones, not aftermarket.

Thanks

How can you tell what month the car was built? Also, did you install the mirrors/switch yourself? If so, was it difficult wiring the switch?

You can get the build date by opening the driver's door and referencing the sticker with the VIN on the B-pillar.

The Mirror switch is easy to install...

The Door panel MUST be removed to change out the switch...
No Wiring changes just replace the switch

The new (07+) mirrors are a totally different shape than the 2003-2006 mirrors. They will not fit if that is what you are asking
