I know this may be a dumb question but does anyone know whether the outside dimming mirrors on the 06 would work on a 04-05. This is the only option on the 06 that I really like. I just don't want to buy a new car just for this. I wa at the dealership the other day and a guy had just bought an 06 I really do think it would come in handy at night I hate the fact that my rearview dims and not the sides. That is the spot that always catches the most glare at night. Don't be to harsh on me it's just some food for thought.

 

If I'm not mistaken, I believe all 05 came w/ dimmed rearview and side mirrors. I have an 05 SL and all the mirrors are dimmed. To answer your question, find an 05 that the mirrors are dimmed and put them on your car. They are really nice, even w/ tinted windows. It's hard driving other cars that don't have them, b/c you don't realize how well they block the light out.

 

are your windows tinted?

 

My 05 has darkening mirrors. Love em!

 

Not a problem for me with tinted windows...

 

My 2005 SL has auto dimming mirrors (rear view and side view). I really like this feature-minimal glare and I don't find myself squinting from others' lights. It would be hard to go back to a different vehicle without auto dimming mirrors.

 

i got an 05 max and my out side mirrors do not dim but if the windoes are tinted that helps

 

05 SL w/ all mirrors auto dimming and tints. No problems.

 

I have 20% all around but at might when I have the windows down the glare bothers me. I might try to see if I can find them I know the shape hasn't changed just wonder if they will work. Thanks for enlighting me on the 05's though now I have a couple of options to go with.

 

my 05' has auto-dimming side mirrors

 

I want auto dimming side view mirrors. If anyone finds out how to do it for a 04 let me know.

 

I'm not sure, but is prob just plug and play... the dimming feature is not a whole system, the sensor is already built in the mirror.. I'm assuming is just the matter of supplying it power and the factory prob already has by splicing the power for the motor to the dimming..

I think is prob plug and play, the dealer might answer that question for ya if you are interested..

 

My 02 Acura TL had mirrors that were tinted blue and this cut down on any glare from lights. I wonder if there is a way to change out the mirror with one that is tinted or tint it with some window tint. Any ideas?

 

^^^^ Sounds like a good idea I will call my stealer and see if it can be done I know it will cost plenty though.

 

Have an 05 SE rear view dimming, but no side view dimming. I have 20% tint all around so its not a big problem.

 

my 05 SL auto dims like the rearview

 

I have an 05' with dimming rearview and dimming side mirrors. I think the option for dimming side mirrors started in 05. I don't remember my 04 having dimming side mirrors, just the dimming rearview.

 

On my 2005 SL, at night if I cover the autodimming sensor on the rearview mirror, then the rearview mirrors AND the sidemirrors lose their autodimming tint. This leads me to think that the sideview mirrors themselves do not have their own sensors but are connected through an autodimming "system" to the one sensor on the rearview mirror.

 

I have tinted windows (%20 wish I would have went with %15) and now it's not really a problem unless some **** is behind me with his brights on. Before I got my tint job done the mirrors dimmed darker because the light didnt' have to go through the tint first. If you get your windows tinted the sensor in the rearveiw mirror takes that into consideration and doesn't darken as much.

tint= not as much compensation.
no tint= more compensation.

The only dimming sensor is in the rearview mirror. If you hold a flashlight upto the sensor the mirrors will go almost black, all 3.

 

My 01 Jetta had blue side mirrors too. I never knew I would miss them till i dont have them. I also wonder if we could tint them to give them a blue tint. I have 15% window tint but would still like the side mirrors dimmed for the nice nights when i can put my windows down or if im driving through a township that I think might pull me over for my window tint.

 

u look in ure rear view, with a max?????? jk

o4 here with no dimming on side mirrors.. what i had on the rear view is now useless, now that i got tint... the tint takes care of the glare... and I now have one feature that I cant show off:-((

 

ahhh, not plug and play then.... too much work just by you posting that..

 

I am looking for side mirrors like the 2003 and up Audi S4 mirrors. Does anyone make them for the Maxima?

 

No chrome.

 

Damn that cuks. I think it looks great on a black ride.

 

good thing i have an 06 maxima

 

Yes wow and all the big changes... I'm proud to say I have an 04 Max, means I've been doing it longer...
