Default Side mirrors

Hey all,
I'm looking into picking up a set of the blind-spot eliminating side mirrors. I previously had them on my Jetta Wagon and was a huge fan. Anyway, when I emailed the co. about them they asked if I had the Auto-dimming feature. I don't really know the answer. I have a 2010 Premium +. Is this a luxury package or Prestige option?
Thanks for the help....

I'll answer my own question.....auto-dimming and auto-folding look to be standard on Premium + & Prestige.

How does auto-dimming side mirrors affect the stick on blind spot mirrors?

haha....no, not one of those stick-ons. its a replacement mirror. the blindspot mirrors bend slightly outward as it gets to the end of the mirror. similar to these.... http://www.ecstuning.com/ES3609/

they take a little getting used to, but are pretty effective.

You're getting it from Europrice right? Would you mind letting us know if they work when you get them?

Yep, Europrice. Thanks for the link.
Sure, I'll let you know how they work out. I'm just waiting to hear back about a price before I order them.

These mirrors are standard on most newer model vehicles in Western Europe and are very effective. They should make them standard issue in N.A.

Ouch... That's expensive. No wonder it says to inquire. I was hoping they would be around 100.
