Take a look at the Honda E mirrors. Hopefully we get something like that since they stick out less than normal mirrors. Don't know what a replacement costs though. I'm honestly much more worried about the price of headlights nowadays.

My model vehicle with cameras and heaters in the mirror and your regular HID headlights cost nearly the same $600-$700 depending on the oem retailer website (not dealer).

If this was the smart headlights that angled in the newer model of my vehicle then it would have been $1000 plus.

My last headlight cost me $30 for my ‘83 Toyota pickup.

Seriously, screw every single automaker today. They have zero respect for their customers by making parts that expensive to replace.

Does usury have a analogy for physical items?
