The one thing I dont like about the Lightning is the Rearview Mirror.

If anyone can recommend a good brand to go with, I will appreciate it...

Thanks

 

and I got it from Mito. I have the one with the compass/temp in my Mustang and the autodim one without the compass/temp in the L. The one without the compass/temp for the L is $99 and fits perfect. Here is the link to the page and you can also order online. No complaints dealing with them

Hope this helps

 

my mom's Tahoe has that type of rearview mirror and the driver side mirror. It makes driving in traffic much easier and safer. It's neat to see it change, does yours give of a little greenish blueish tint when on?

 

yup and it clears up immediately when you put the truck in reverse. You do have to hook up that wire to the reverse lights though. I think it's the same mirror Ford uses in the Expy and such

 

I have one too, put it in over a year ago.

Tips:
- Don't wire it to the parking lights like they suggest, wire it to the headlights. That way if you are driving during the day with the parking/fog lights on, the mirror isn't also on for no reason.
- In addition to wiring the shut-off to the reverse lights, also wire it (with a diode) to the interior lights. So if you turn the dome/bed lights it lightens the mirror.

 

My 1995 Lightning has that from the factory.It is weird when you first see it..but its a cool add-on.(too bad only the driver can appreciate it)

 

Are either of these mirrors a 'wider' angle than the stock mirror?

 

Want A Light
I'm about 90% sure that since the Ls have the lighted sun visors, that the wiring plug is there to plug in a factory Ford one from a Lariat or an Expedition. I will look into this.

 

Hey you said the lightning has lighted sunvisors???? Not my 2000, i hope it was just an upgrade on 2001 and not that i got scrwed or something. Then again one of my hanger hooks is tan instead of grey.

 

Tan instead of grey! That's pretty sad. Great attention to detail for $30k, huh?

The 01's have lighted visors, the '00 does not.

 

Thanks for the replies.
