A couple of questions - mirror glass and turn signals
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows where one can purchase a driver's side aspherical mirror for the ML? Is one even available? I have an old W163 as a second car, and switching between vehicles makes one really miss the larger glass.
Also, do Canadian models have amber rear turn signals, or red like the US version?
Thanks,
Mark

Agreed! I much prefer the more distinct amber indicators. I raised this with Steve Cannon (then VP Mktg at MBUSA) and he responded that even Cadillac had moved to red. I couldn't believe the response. Benchmarking to Cadillac!

There was talk of updating the standards for North America to require amber based on the findings of a semi-recent safety study. Here's hoping.

Just an update; browsing through the forums, i found a place in the netherlands that can source european parts like mirrors (and possibly taillights).
Cost? 300 Euro for a heated dimmable aspheric mirror.
Plus shipping.
Cost for a non-dimmable mirror? 65 Euro. Scared to even ask what taillights go for.
