Hey guys!
I need a replacement for my left side-view mirror (the glass fell off, wiring and electronics are intact). The dealer told me the whole assembly would have to be replaced. I googled a bit and came across this:
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/Honda/Civic/Kool_Vue/Mirror/2008/LX/4_Cyl_1-dot-8L/HD43EL.html?loc=Driver+Side&tlc=Auto+Body+Parts+&+Mirrors
It is about $100 cheaper than the dealer's price (minus labor). Are such replacements easy to install? I have no experience with electronics of such kind. Would you recommend getting the authentic Honda replacement?
On a side note, would it affect my warranty in any way if I changed air filters and transmission oil on my own?
What brand of engine and transmission oil would you recommend?
Thank you for your time!
