That's the one I need as well torn between paying top dollar on Suncoast or getting used on eBay but they all seem to have blind spot detection

Try FCPEuro at least they don't force you to pay for FedEx or UPS. Great service too!

Are auto dimming side mirrors included on the S? Or all models of the 992? I don’t recall checking the option or even paying attention to it. When I think of dimming mirrors, it’s only the rear view mirror that comes to mind.

I have them on my S and I didn't choose any particular option. Check you build sheet on My Porsche.com and it will show you every option on your car.

having lived in europe for a number of years it still frustrates me that our mirrors are obviously inferior... similar to dynamic lights (which we are finally getting!). My M3 which I still love and purchased in 2015 has adaptive headlights... here we are 7 years later

The 992 aspherical left-hand side mirror WITH anti-dazzle but WITHOUT the blindspot lights is part number 992-857-521-D.

I’ve since ordered it and installed it on my car.

I got them on eBay for about $200 per side. Follow the link from Big Worm above.

There's a reason why they are cheaper.

Do you really think they are finding these parts cars in the junk yard?

You must've seen the outliers. Working the roads 10+ years now and I rarely see people give that much concern when changing lanes, hence why our collision reports are through the roof. Nobody pays attention............not to their blind-spot indicators or anything else. Hell, many are driving around in pitch black darkness with no headlights on and are absolutely oblivious. It's a citation I love to write because it's an expensive reminder for the violator's bank account.

Ok, I am German, living in the U.S. for 20+ years. While the European mirrors clearly are a convenience, the same result can be achieved by positioning the U.S. mirror appropriately at a wide angle, i.e. you do not see the side of your own car. I drive a Cabrio, meaning with top up you see nothing even with a correct "looking over your shoulder turn". With the correct mirror setting there is zero blindspot and I have been using this set-up ever since I moved to the States. Having LCA, of course, is a nice feature especially in a Cabrio as well.
