Lol No - I decided against - as still don't know how long I get to keep car. Plus I STILL worried other electrical gremlins might arise due to upgrade :eek: :shocked!: So playing it safe and financially safe too! ;) I do have OSRAM Nightbreakers 150% brighter to go in though :thumb right: PLUS might give the lens a refurb too! :D

Hi bud Did a drive today - MUCH better vision in driver mirror (less of a blind spot - certainly NOT like looking thru a magnifier glass as before! :eek:) :thumb right: No idea if heating element ever worked before - hopefully they do work :) Blue tint gives nice softer look (love them or hate them) - I love them! :) Not sure night time vision - but will find out tonight!

Thanks Andy :) U been a brilliant help and full of inspiration for me :clap: Ok, U know u said "make sure mirrors are PROPER fitted else they might fall off ..."? Well, My pssenger one sits perfectly in housing Driver side looks a bit wonky So thinking what u said Maybe my driver side not properly fitted to all 4 slots/clips? :shrug: So popped it out again just now, and re-fitted it... Ah....better?

Thanks bud :) Will drive the car today (after fitting mirrors) and feedback! :thumb right: Mine main bugbear was the fact the driver mirror gave the illusion things were different as it is AND its teeny coverage of your side view :( :( :(
