Review on πŸ”₯ Gentex Series 8 Frameless Auto-Dimming Mirror 50-genk8a: Superior Visibility and Modern Design by Isaac Logan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful and functional mirror.

I recently installed this on my 2010 Honda Insight. Works like clockwork. My car is low to the ground and it really helps reduce the glare from the rear lights. Now I feel safer when driving at night. I bought a fuse to connect it to the power supply. It is connected via the rear wiper fuse, which is only powered when the car is running. The instructions for hooking up the mirror to a power source are pretty vague, but there are some good resources online if you're looking for "fused rearview mirror". It is worth noting that this mirror has a wedge-shaped mount. My car's windshield has a camlock mount so I had to buy an adapter to get everything to fit properly. Even though it is a frameless mirror, there is a frame around the edge of the mirror that is about 8mm wide and is non-glare. You can see it in the product photo, but I didn't realize it until I used it. Overall I would recommend this mirror. It looks pretty slick and works as it should.

Pros
  • 3 year warranty from Gentex!
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
