Does anyone know where to get Euro Blindspot Mirrors?

I'm interested in switching out my door mirror lenses for Euro Blindspot Mirrors (the ones which have a dual angle lens to cover the blindspot).

Does anyone know where to get these and whether they are changeable?

Answered my own question. These are the ones.

How do I find out if my mirrors are auto-dimming or not? Are all Turbo S mirrors self-dimming? I don't see any mention of it on my configuration sheet nor on the configurator.

Have you tried the blind spot mirrors yet? If not, go to a Honda dealer and get an idea in their cars. In my opinion they're horrible in execution. The line the separates the two sides are too thin making it hard to distinguish either side. One eye sees the curved section and the other eye sees the flat section, and it gives you a headache.

Never had any issues with it. I find it to be a superior mirror in every regard.

Wow, really? Not that i'm doubting you...

Add to my list of points above: Even the curved part of the mirror is too small to really help in any way.

The Honda mirrors are not a good example for comparison. I've used the Porsche aspherical mirrors in Europe (Avis rental) and found the mirrors very natural to use and a big safety improvement. They blend from flat to curved in a natural way. I have the Honda mirrors on a new Ridgeline and they are not the same. They step abruptly from flat to curved with a drawn dividing line. The Honda driver mirror almost makes my eyes hurt. Stupid Federal US regulations against driver's side reducing mirrors force a bad implementation of the concept.
YMMV

Thanks for that comparison. I haven't tried the Porsche mirrors.
