    Driver side mirror

    Need help on my left side mirrors. The mirrors is yellowish in color, unlike the other side, its blue. Is this normal, or i need to have my mirror replaced? My car is a '98 model. Thanks for the help.

    No, your driver side is a type of mirror that changes in different light, so its always this yellowish color.

    Actually when its yellow it means its broken. Its a common thing for most dealerships to tell you its normal, but its not.

    Thanks for the help guys. I guess the next thing to do is either blinking mirrors, or just get a replacement mirror, but not right now.

    I guess my driver side mirror are also broken

    I am pretty sure it is broken because right side mirror dries up nicely even during rain and I am able to tell that it is absorbing light that is from the rear....

    Contrast to that...

    Driver side mirror does not dry up the water on the mirror surface(I guess the heating function also broke) and it reflects light like hell!!!!

    To fix this...what do I have to do???

    Do I need another mirror assembly?????????

    Help plz...

    It's a commom problem with the reflective coating that MB used. That should be replaced but they most likely won't pay for it...
