When it arrived, I realised I’d accidentally bought the white connector type when I actually need the yellow connector type. One popped up on eBay for a low price recently, so I snapped it up. I’ve needed a replacement mirror for ages but have been holding off due to the high price. Earlier ones have a 6-pin yellow connector while later ones have an 8-pin white connector.
As far as I know, there is no way of telling the two mirrors apart externally – the only way to know is to remove the top centre console via the screw in the sunglasses holder and check the colour of the connector. The combination of these mirrors being complex and having a high failure rate means they are now scarce, and expensive.Īt some point in the production run, the mirrors changed design. These light sensors also control the automatic headlight function, and on higher/later models there is also a rain sensor that controls the automatic wiper. The mirror houses two light sensors (front and back) to know when it should dim. These failures seem to happen just with age, even if the mirror has never been mistreated.

If you’re really unlucky, the glass can crack and the highly corrosive brown liquid can drip out and damage your interior. The chemical that darkens to dim the mirror tends to move around, causing blotches of brown or black. The rear view mirror used the 1997-2002 Jaguar XJ8 (X308) and related cars like the Jaguar XK8 (X100) has a light-sensitive electrochromic auto-dimming feature which is unfortunately prone to failure.
