Hit n Run -- now I have a broken side mirror

Need to replace my mirrors.......some dude going the opposite direction crossed the median in a box truck with extra extended mirrors. Hit my mirror and kept on going -- by the time I was able to turn around he was gone, lost him in traffic.






2004 Ex -- mirrors are powered, heated and have the turn and marker lights.

Are these eBay ones Plug n Play ? I dont need the power folding feature.

If i were you, i would check into the 1Aauto 08-up mirrors. I and many other members have installed them on their Ex's. I can't find a link right now (litttttle too much to drink tonight) but they are a huge improvement over the older style.

It looks like you might need a bit more than just glass and a lens but if that is all it would take, you can get replacement parts off of Amazon or eBay for cheap. I picked up a replacement mirror glass for the big portion of the mirror for $16 the other day. Amazon had them for $22. The smaller mirror is cheaper. The one I used was by a company called Fit System and it replaces the whole glass. Some of the replacement glass is just a stick on mirror, so watch out for that. They want you to basically glue it over your broken one which seems like a hack-job way to do it to me. The Fit System one actually has the backing plate and snaps into the factory holes for it. They also sell replacement lenses for the mirror. It all depends on how bad yours is.

As for the link you posted, I dont have the answer. I know that they will bolt on but I am not sure of the wiring. I thought that I read somewhere that the plug was different, but I wouldn't take my word for it.

Found these in Amazon.... might be an option.

Anybody tried replacing just this part of the mirror? Hard or easy? Is it worth it? Not willing to spend the money on the 1A Auto mirrors -- I dont even tow anyting.

I agree. I love having my dash cam. I even leave it on when I'm going to the grocery store or wherever as long as I will be back in a couple hours. Just in case some POS hits my Ex.
