I posted this in accessories but thought it would be better here. Does anyone know where I can get auto dimming mirrors for my 2003 accord? I have found the rear view mirror but cannot find a package for auto dimming side mirrors.

There are no auto dimming side mirrors for the accord. You would have to find some from an 04-08 TL. Those are heated and should have the auto dimming feature. (Correct me if I am wrong) . ( I know that they are heated)

I don't think they exist. I know the rear view mirror is available with an auto dim feature but I have never seen a car with side mirrors that dim, not even high-end luxury cars. That might reduce your visibility for changing lanes. I don't know if a cars headlights would hit the side mirrors directly to trigger an auto dim feature like they do on a rearview mirror. Honda never offered side mirrors that dim, if they do exist.

The TL's mirrors had tint, but no auto-dimming features.

My Tundra has them though and they are great. I hope Honda adds them to their lineup someday, but you'll have to get a Toyota or Lexus to get these (as far as I know).

You might try having a light tint applied?

Does anyone know if the Accord's side view mirror/glass is the same shape/size as the TL's?

If so, just grab some new tinted TL mirror inserts from the dealer. When I replaced mine because it was scratched it cost only $10 and basically stuck on. Done in five minutes.
