The little triangle in your mirror glass stopped lighting up — or the turn-signal chevron in the glass went dark — and the first quote you got back was for a whole new mirror assembly.
Here is what that quote never mentions: on mirrors like these, the glass is a separate part, and “LED mirror glass” is actually two different products hiding behind one search term. One carries its own LED array in the glass. The other is plain glass with an icon etched into it, lit only if the LED inside your mirror housing is still alive. Buy the wrong kind and the warning stays dark no matter how well the glass fits.
The four picks below were checked against manufacturer documents and fitment data, and every one is labelled by type, so you can match the glass to your mirror. If your mirror has no LED feature at all, start with our pillar guide to the best replacement mirrors under 30 — this guide covers the LED-feature corner of the category and does not repeat its picks.
The 30-second answer
GM full-size truck and SUV owners whose mirror carries the in-glass chevron signal should start with the Yikesai GM1324102 — the only pick here whose LED array is in the glass itself. Chrysler Town & Country owners need etched-icon glass instead: the Burco 4425HB, whose etched triangle passes the van’s existing blind-spot LED and whose element restores heat. Toyota Highlander owners take the Burco 5594B etched-icon glass; Ford F-150 owners take the 5847B — the written-alternative pick, with no verified Amazon listing.
How we researched this guide
Five LED-feature replacement glasses were profiled against manufacturer documents — six product manuals and install guides, including Burco’s own fitting instructions. Specs, fitment and listings were cross-checked across seven retailer and listing sources and seven owner reports and technician cases. Two further products were documented as alternates and seven more excluded above this tier; one profiled glass was dropped for resting on a single seller’s listing data.
Quick picks
Best Overall
Yikesai GM1324102 Signal Mirror Glass
The only pick here whose LED array is in the glass itself: a heated, convex backed glass with the GM in-glass chevron turn signal, cut for 2003–2007 GM full-size trucks and SUVs, passenger side. Best if your truck was built with the in-glass signal and the glass — or its signal — has failed.
Best Heated Icon Glass
Burco 4425HB Etched-Icon Mirror Glass
Etched-icon glass with no electronics of its own: the Town & Country’s existing blind-spot LED shines through the etched triangle, and a pre-applied element restores the defrost. Driver side, for 2011–2016 Town & Country mirrors that are heated and non-auto-dimming.
Best for Toyota Highlander
Burco 5594B Etched-Icon Mirror Glass
Etched-icon stick-on glass for 2014–2016 Highlander driver mirrors with blind-spot monitoring: the Highlander’s existing LED shines through the etched icons. Redi-Stick pads included; no heating element.
Best for Ford F-150
Burco 5847B Etched-Icon Mirror Glass
Etched-icon stick-on glass for 2021–2026 F-150 passenger mirrors with BLIS: the truck’s existing LED shines through the etched icon, and the glass itself contains no electronics. Convex, 9-7/8 in diagonal, fits over the existing mirror.
This glass has no verified Amazon listing, so it carries no button of its own. The verified buyable alternative here is the Burco 4425HB — a Town & Country fitment, not an F-150 fit, so treat it as the pattern to look for:

Find your LED glass route
Tell us which LED feature your mirror carries and we will point you at the pick that matches. Every answer ends at one of the four products reviewed below — there are no dead ends.
Your route: in-glass LED signal glass. Our pick is the Yikesai GM1324102 for 2003–2007 GM full-size trucks and SUVs — the one glass here with its own LED array. One condition: the truck must have been built with the in-glass signal; glass alone cannot add the feature.
Your route: etched-icon glass. Your mirror’s LED is still in the housing; you need glass whose etched icon gives it a clear window to shine through. For Highlander owners that is the Burco 5594B etched-icon glass.
Ford F-150 owners take the Burco 5847B etched-icon glass instead — no verified Amazon listing, so no button of its own; our written alternative is the verified Burco 4425HB, a Town & Country fitment, offered as the pattern to look for, not an F-150 fit.
Your route: heated etched-icon glass. Restoring heat takes an icon glass carrying a new element — an “H” glass in Burco’s suffix code. Our pick is the Burco 4425HB for the Chrysler Town & Country: etched blind-spot icon for the van’s existing LED, plus a heating element for the defrost system. An icon glass without the element restores the picture but leaves the mirror cold.
Start by identifying your glass type, then check fitment. If the light itself is dead and your mirror is a GM truck mirror with the chevron window in the glass, the LEDs are part of the glass and the Yikesai GM1324102 is the route. If the light still works and only the glass broke, your mirror takes etched-icon glass. Either way, measure your old glass diagonally before ordering: LED variants are separate part numbers from plain glass.
Pick the situation closest to yours above. If you have not decided yet, start with our top pick: the Yikesai GM1324102, the only glass here that replaces the LED array with the glass — its review below lists its fitments. If your mirror’s LED lives behind the glass instead, the etched-icon picks further down are your route.
How to choose an LED replacement mirror glass
Know which of the two LED glass types your mirror takes
Everything here turns on one distinction. In-glass LED glass carries the LED array as part of the glass unit — GM’s chevron turn-signal design is the example — so the LEDs are replaced with the glass. Etched-icon glass contains no electronics at all; Burco’s own attribute data states that outright. An LED already inside the mirror housing shines through an etched symbol and a clear window in the coating. Icon glass is how factory LED-indicator mirrors take replacement glass, but only while the mirror’s own LED and wiring are intact. If the LED itself has died, no icon glass will bring the indicator back.
A signal glass cannot add a feature your vehicle was never built with
On GM trucks, the mirror turn-signal feed comes from the body control module, which only drives features the truck was built and programmed with. A documented owner case makes the point: a 2011 Silverado owner swapped signal glass onto a truck built with power and heated mirrors only, and the signals never lit — no wire hookup, and the feature was not programmed into the BCM. The technician’s answer: dealer BCM programming with a GM scan tool, or new wiring from the front turn-signal circuits — a 2014 Silverado case confirms the feature code must be programmed in. The wiring discipline involved is covered in our winch-to-truck-battery wiring guide.
Blind-spot indicators are monitored by a module, not just lit
The mirror holds only the LED indicator; the sensors live elsewhere — on the F-150, in the taillight housings. The glass must carry the etched symbol and the unmirrored window for the LED, because the module watches the indicator circuit. A Ford technician explains that glass without the correct indicator path leaves dash faults for both systems, because the module can no longer detect the LED circuit. A Chrysler case shows the stakes: a damaged driver mirror on a 2012 Town & Country left the system unable to see the driver-mirror display, and blind spot monitoring was disabled altogether until the correct mirror was fitted and the codes cleared.
What the load evidence does — and does not — show
These mirrors were built with LED indicators, so a like-for-like glass keeps the electrical load the module expects. No source we found documents a load-resistor or hyperflash problem for like-for-like swaps, and we will not invent one.
Match the feature set exactly — and know that Burco glass does not auto-dim
Replacement glass must match the vehicle’s built equipment, feature by feature. Heated mirrors need glass with a pre-applied element — Burco’s “H” suffix — and the 4425HB here fits heated, non-auto-dimming Town & Country mirrors only. Burco’s own install guide states the limit plainly: Burco mirror replacements do not auto dim. A glass swap on an auto-dimming mirror therefore loses dimming, even where a SKU is cut to fit its housing, as the 5847B is. And if the old element is what failed, a no-element icon glass restores the picture but not the defrost — only an “H” glass carries a new element. That is the difference between the 4425HB and the icon-only 5594B and 5847B.
Curvature is set by law — and measure before you order
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 requires the driver-side outside mirror to give unit magnification — flat glass — while a passenger-side mirror may be convex with the etched closer-than-they-appear marking. Where a manual’s curvature claim conflicts with that rule, we left the figure out rather than print it. And measure before you order: glass is cut per vehicle, LED variants are separate part numbers, and every pick below lists its diagonal.
LED replacement mirrors by budget
| Route | What you get | Example pick |
|---|---|---|
| In-glass LED route | Backed glass; the LED signal array is replaced with the glass | Yikesai GM1324102 |
| Heated icon route | Etched-icon stick-on glass with a new pre-applied heating element | Burco 4425HB |
| Icon-only route | Etched-icon stick-on glass; the vehicle’s existing LED does the lighting | Burco 5594B, Burco 5847B |

Best Overall: Yikesai GM1324102 Signal Mirror Glass
Best Overall
Why the Yikesai GM1324102 is our pick
Almost everything in this category is etched-icon glass — useless when the light itself is what died. The GM1324102 is the genuine other kind: a backed replacement glass for the GMT800 trucks and SUVs whose mirror carries the turn signal in the glass, with the integrated chevron signal and heating element built in — the only glass here that replaces the LED hardware with the mirror surface.

Yikesai GM1324102: fits and best for
Fits the passenger side of the 2003–2007 GM full-size family — Escalade, Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra and Yukon — with power mirrors. One condition decides everything: the truck must have been built with the in-glass signal; without the feature, the chevron stays dark absent BCM programming or added wiring. Best for signal-equipped trucks whose glass or signal has failed while the housing, motor and mount remain sound.
Yikesai GM1324102 pros and watch-outs
- The only pick that replaces the LED array along with the glass
- Heated glass for power mirrors, with the signal built in
- Convex passenger-side glass, as the federal standard allows
- Vehicle-specific cut for the GMT800 truck and SUV family
- Passenger side only
- Only works on trucks built with the in-glass signal feature
- No auto-dimming function, per the feature list for this glass family
- No warranty term is published for this glass
Yikesai GM1324102: what owners report
Owner coverage for this exact listing is thin, but the glass family is documented: an Amazon owner review of the driver-side listing for this same OE glass reports swapping the glass only after a dealer quoted full mirror replacement — it fit, the backing plate differed slightly from the original yet snapped in, and he transferred the blinker LEDs through the signal window with his own tape fix. He noted slight optical distortion, acceptable for lane awareness, and about a month of use with no issues.
Yikesai GM1324102: who should not buy
Skip it if your truck was built without the in-glass signal — glass cannot add the feature. Skip it if you need the driver side, and if the damage runs past the glass into the mount or housing.
Yikesai GM1324102: pair it with
Pair it with a function test: reconnect the terminals, run the turn signal and defroster, and only then seat the glass fully (installation section below).

Best Heated Icon Glass: Burco 4425HB Mirror Glass
Best Heated Icon Glass
Why the Burco 4425HB is our pick
Most etched-icon glass asks you to accept a quiet downgrade: the icon comes back, the heat does not. The 4425HB is the exception in Burco’s Redi-Cuts line — its suffix decodes as H for a pre-applied heating element and B for the blind-spot icon — so one stick-on glass restores both the warning window and the defroster. The glass itself contains no electronics; the van’s existing LED shines through the etched triangle icon.
Burco 4425HB key specs
- Part number: 4425HB
- UPC: 840591027808
- Vehicle fitment: Chrysler Town & Country 2011–2016
- Side: driver (left)
- Type: glass-only stick-on (Redi-Stick peel-and-stick adhesive)
- LED feature: etched blind-spot indicator icon — no electronics in the glass; uses the van’s existing LED
- Heated element: yes, pre-applied; activates with the vehicle’s defrost system
- Turn signal in glass: no
- Glass type: flat, driver side
- Dimensions: 7-13/16 in diagonal; 5-7/8 × 6-5/8 in
- Mounting requirement: fits heated, non-auto-dimming OE mirrors only
- Item weight: 7.8 oz
- Meets FMVSS 111; instructions included
- Warranty: no term published (Burco’s Break-Free Guarantee is a shipping-breakage feature, not a stated warranty term)
Burco 4425HB: fits and best for
Fits the driver side of the 2011–2016 Chrysler Town & Country, on two conditions from Burco’s own data: the mirror must be heated, and non-auto-dimming. The etched icon only has something to show if the van was built with blind-spot monitoring and its mirror LED still works. Best for owners whose driver glass is cracked over a sound backing plate who want heat and icon back in one repair.
Burco 4425HB pros and watch-outs
- Restores heat and the blind-spot icon in one glass
- Etched icon matched to the van’s blind-spot monitoring
- Flat driver-side glass, as the federal standard requires
- Published dimensions for the measure-before-ordering check
- Made in USA
- Heated, non-auto-dimming mirrors only
- Stick-on glass needs an intact backing plate behind it
- Contains no electronics — a dead mirror LED stays dead
- No warranty term published by the maker
Burco 4425HB: what owners report
No product-specific owner reports for the 4425HB itself turned up; the pick rests on Burco’s data and the Town & Country system case covered in our criteria section.
Burco 4425HB: who should not buy
Skip it if your mirror is the auto-dimming type — this SKU fits non-auto-dimming mirrors only, and Burco glass does not auto-dim. Skip it if the van lacks blind-spot monitoring, or if the backing plate is broken.
Burco 4425HB: pair it with
Pair it with the maker’s adhesive discipline: keep the Redi-Stick patches clear of the etched icon, align the icon with the LED before pressing, and test the heating element before final seating (installation section below).

Best for Toyota Highlander: Burco 5594B Mirror Glass
Best for Toyota Highlander
Why the Burco 5594B is our pick
The Highlander’s blind-spot indicators live in the glass, so a cracked driver glass takes the warning symbol with it. The 5594B is Burco’s Redi-Cuts glass cut for that mirror: the blind-spot icons are etched into the glass, and the Highlander’s existing LED behind it shines through them. It is etched-icon glass with no electronics of its own, and honest about its limits: no heating element is claimed for this SKU, so it restores the picture and the icons, not the defrost.
Burco 5594B key specs
- Part number: 5594B
- Vehicle fitment: Toyota Highlander 2014–2016
- Side: driver (left)
- Type: glass-only stick-on, Redi-Stick adhesive pads included
- LED feature: etched blind-spot icons — no electronics in the glass; uses the vehicle’s existing LED
- Heated element: none — no heating element is claimed for this SKU
- Glass diagonal: 8-9/16 in
- Material: glass
- Made in USA
- Warranty: no term published (the listing manual states no specific warranty details are provided)
Burco 5594B: fits and best for
Fits the driver side of the 2014–2016 Toyota Highlander, on mirrors built with blind-spot monitoring indicators. Its instruction manual carries the key check: if the icon does not illuminate, confirm the vehicle has a functional monitoring system with mirror-integrated indicators and check the connections. Best for Highlander owners with a cracked driver glass over an intact backing plate whose blind-spot system still works.
Burco 5594B pros and watch-outs
- Cut for the Highlander’s blind-spot mirror
- Etched icons matched to the mirror-integrated BSM indicators
- Adhesive pads included in the box
- Made in USA
- No heating element — it will not restore mirror heat
- No warranty term published for this glass
- The maker’s data does not publish a curvature for this SKU — measure your old glass and verify against the listing before ordering
Burco 5594B: what owners report
Owner coverage for this exact glass is thin: no product-specific owner reports for the 5594B turned up in the forums and retailer questions we checked, so there is no owner consensus to summarise; the pick rests on the maker’s listing manual and fitment data, linked in the Sources.
Burco 5594B: who should not buy
Skip it if your Highlander lacks blind-spot monitoring — the icons would have nothing behind them to light. Skip it if restoring heat is the point; this glass carries no element. And skip it if the backing plate is damaged.
Burco 5594B: pair it with
Pair it with an alignment check: dry-fit first, confirm the etched icons sit exactly over the LED positions, and keep every pad clear of the icons — a pad over an icon kills the indicator.

Best for Ford F-150: Burco 5847B Mirror Glass
Best for Ford F-150
Why the Burco 5847B is our pick
The current F-150’s BLIS indicator is an LED in the mirror behind an etched symbol in the glass, so a cracked passenger glass is repaired with etched-icon glass: the 5847B, Burco’s glass for the job. Burco’s attribute data is explicit: it fits over the existing mirror, meets the federal standard, and contains no electronic components — the truck’s existing BLIS LED shines through the etched icon.
Burco 5847B key specs
- Part number: 5847B
- Vehicle fitment: Ford F-150 2021–2026, mirrors with blind-spot (BLIS) indicators
- Side: passenger (right)
- Type: glass-only stick-on, fits over the existing mirror
- LED feature: etched blind-spot indicator icon — no electronics in the glass; uses the truck’s existing BLIS LED
- Heated element: no — the glass carries no element
- Glass type: convex, passenger side
- Dimensions: 9-7/8 in diagonal; 6-1/4 × 7-5/8 in
- Fits auto-dimming and non-auto-dimming OE mirrors; fits heated or non-heated OE mirrors
- Meets FMVSS 111; instructions included
- Warranty: no term published
Burco 5847B: fits and best for
Fits the passenger side of the 2021–2026 Ford F-150 with BLIS indicators. Two honest limits: laid over a heated mirror it restores the picture and icon, but not the heat — the glass has no element — and it does not auto-dim, so an auto-dimming mirror loses the dimming. Best for F-150 owners whose passenger glass is cracked while the BLIS LED, wiring and backing remain sound.
Burco 5847B pros and watch-outs
- Etched BLIS icon matched to the current F-150’s mirror indicators
- One glass fits auto-dimming and non-auto-dimming, heated and non-heated mirrors
- Convex passenger-side glass meeting FMVSS 111
- Published dimensions for the measure check
- No verified Amazon listing — presented here through our written alternative
- No heating element — it cannot restore mirror heat
- The replacement glass does not auto-dim, per the maker’s own guide
- No warranty term published by the maker
Burco 5847B: what owners report
No product-specific owner reports for the 5847B itself turned up. The BLIS system it serves is documented by a Ford technician answering an F-150 owner — the case in our criteria section: glass without the correct indicator path faults the system. The etched icon is a functional part, not a print.
Burco 5847B: who should not buy
Skip it if your F-150 was built without BLIS — there is no indicator LED behind the glass. Skip it if the BLIS warning itself has failed, and if keeping auto-dimming matters more than the repair cost.
Burco 5847B: pair it with
Pair it with a system check: after fitting, start the truck and confirm the BLIS indicator lights with no dash fault — a system that lost its mirror display may need its codes cleared once the correct glass is on.
This glass has no verified Amazon listing, so it carries no button of its own. The verified buyable alternative here is the Burco 4425HB — a Town & Country fitment, not an F-150 fit, so treat it as the pattern to look for:

Installation and wiring basics
Burco’s own install guide sets the order this job should follow. When the old glass comes off, detach the wires first: the heating-element wires on a heated variant, and any auto-dimming wires, which may have to be disconnected or clipped and capped. Fit the new glass’s connections before anything is seated — in the maker’s words, reconnect the heating wires to the terminal leads and test the functionalities before proceeding on a heated or signal variant. That step is the difference between a finished repair and a sealed-up fault.
For stick-on icon glass, the method is the fit-over route: remove only loose or protruding broken pieces, clean both surfaces, and dry-fit to check the etched icon’s alignment against the LED behind it. Only then apply the adhesive. Burco’s sheets are explicit on the one error that ruins this job: keep the Redi-Stick patches off the signal icons, and align the etching with the LED. Press with firm, gentle pressure for at least thirty seconds, allow a full day or two for the bond to cure, and do not wash the vehicle during the cure.
After any blind-spot glass swap, verify the system, not just the picture: start the vehicle, confirm the indicator lights, and check for dash faults — a system that lost its display may need its codes cleared once the correct glass is fitted.
Safety essentials
- Wear safety glasses whenever you handle or pry at broken mirror glass
- Wear cut-resistant gloves and long sleeves when clearing shattered glass
- Park on a level surface with the engine off and the parking brake set
- Disconnect the battery before working on heated, signal or blind-spot mirror wiring
- Use adhesives and cleaners in a ventilated space
- Reconnect and test heat, signal and blind-spot functions before final seating — and again before you drive
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Blind-spot icon dark after fitting etched-icon glass | A pad covers the icon, the etching is misaligned with the LED, or the vehicle’s own system is faulty | Refit with pads clear of the icon, etching aligned to the LED; confirm the vehicle has a functional monitoring system with mirror-integrated indicators (the Highlander manual’s check) |
| Turn signal dead after fitting in-glass signal glass | Connector not reseated — or the vehicle was never built with the feature (no feed, no BCM programming) | Reseat the connector and retest; if the truck was built without the signal, the fix is BCM programming or added wiring, not another glass |
| Blind-spot or cross-traffic dash fault after a glass swap | The fitted glass lacks the correct indicator path, so the module cannot detect the LED circuit | Fit glass with the correct etched icon and window, then scan and clear the codes |
| Replacement glass does not heat | An icon-only glass was fitted, terminals were not reconnected, or the defroster circuit is faulty | Check for an “H” SKU with a pre-applied element; reseat the terminals; test the defroster circuit |
| Stick-on glass lifting at the edges | Surface was not clean and dry, the fitting was done cold, or the cure was interrupted | Remove, clean with rubbing alcohol, refit warm and dry, press firmly; do not wash the vehicle for a day or two |
| New glass shows a distorted image | Convex glass fitted where flat glass belongs | Fit flat, unit-magnification glass on the driver side, as the law requires |
Real-world notes
The glass-only swap, from an owner who did one. The owner in the Yikesai review above — quoted a full mirror replacement at his dealer — swapped the glass only: it fit, snapped in over a slightly different backing plate, and ran about a month with no issues beyond slight, acceptable optical distortion.
When the mirror display fails, the whole system can quit. In the 2012 Town & Country case behind the 4425HB pick, a damaged driver mirror disabled blind spot monitoring altogether until the correct glass was fitted and the codes cleared; the F-150’s BLIS works the same way, per the Ford technician.
What the premium end of this category feels like. Owners of aftermarket LED-arrow glass — wide-angle, heated, sequential-signal upgrades for vehicles like the 4Runner, well above this tier — report the integrated arrow covering the blind spot their stick-on spot mirrors handled, and tinted glass cutting glare. Category experience only; none of it is a pick here.
Who should NOT buy these
Your mirror’s LED itself has died — and your mirror takes etched-icon glass. Three of the four picks here contain no electronics. If the indicator behind your glass no longer lights, etched-icon glass gives you a clean new icon over a dead light. Diagnose the LED and its wiring first — glass is the last step, not the first.
You want to add a signal or blind-spot feature your vehicle never had. Glass cannot add features: the signal feed comes from the body control module and the feature must be programmed in — the Silverado cases show signal glass staying dark on trucks built without it. Treat it as a wiring-plus-programming project, or leave the feature off your list.
Your backing plate, mount or motor is damaged. Stick-on glass needs a sound backing plate to bond to, and backed glass needs a sound mount and housing. If the damage runs deeper, you are into motor-mount glass or full-assembly territory — start from the Replacement Mirrors category for the bigger repair.
Your vehicle is not one of the listed fitments. These glasses are cut for four specific fitments: the GMT800 GM trucks, the Town & Country, the Highlander and the current F-150. A vehicle-specific glass does not adapt to another mirror’s outline, diagonal or icon position, and forcing it invites a misaligned icon and a module fault.
You will not accept losing auto-dim. If your mirror dims today and that function matters to you, a glass swap trades it away — Burco states plainly its glass does not auto-dim, and the 4425HB will not even fit an auto-dimming mirror.
Final verdict
For GM truck and SUV owners whose in-glass chevron signal or glass has failed, the Yikesai GM1324102 is the complete repair: LED array and heating element replaced along with the glass — the only pick here that can say that.
For Town & Country owners, the Burco 4425HB is the fullest etched-icon repair here: the van’s LED shines through its etched icon, and its pre-applied element restores the heat.
For Toyota Highlander owners, the Burco 5594B restores the etched blind-spot icons the BSM system watches — icon glass only, with no heat.
And for Ford F-150 owners, the Burco 5847B is the right etched-icon glass for the BLIS mirror — the truck’s existing LED does the lighting through its etched icon. It has no verified Amazon listing; the buyable alternative here is the Burco 4425HB, a different fitment, offered as the pattern to look for.
If your mirror carries no LED feature at all, none of these four is your repair — our pillar guide, Best Replacement Mirrors Under 30, covers plain replacement glass.
FAQ
Does etched-icon replacement glass contain an LED?
No. Etched-icon glass contains no electronics at all — Burco’s own attribute data says so. The LED lives in the mirror housing; the glass gives it an etched symbol and clear window to shine through. Only in-glass designs, like the GM chevron signal glass here, carry the LED array in the glass itself, so icon glass can never revive an indicator whose LED has died.
Can I add a turn signal to my mirror by fitting signal glass?
Not with glass alone. On GM trucks the signal feed comes from the body control module, and a documented 2011 Silverado case shows the result on a truck never built with the feature: signals stayed dark, with no wire hookup and no BCM programming. Making it work takes dealer BCM programming with a GM scan tool, or new wiring from the front turn-signal circuits.
Will my blind-spot warning still work after an etched-icon glass swap?
Yes — if the replacement glass carries the correct etched icon and clear window for your vehicle, and the mirror’s LED and wiring are intact. The system is module-monitored: on the F-150, glass without the proper indicator path leaves dash faults because the module cannot detect the LED circuit; on the Town & Country, a missing driver-mirror display disabled blind spot monitoring until the correct mirror was fitted and the codes cleared.
Will an etched-icon glass restore my heated mirror?
Only if the glass carries a new heating element. Heat lives in the element, not in the housing: an icon-only glass (5594B, 5847B) restores the picture and icon but leaves the mirror cold, while an “H” glass such as the 4425HB brings a pre-applied element that works with the defrost system. Check the suffix before you order.
Does Burco replacement glass auto-dim?
No. Burco’s own install guide states its mirror replacements do not auto dim. Some SKUs are cut to fit auto-dimming mirrors — the F-150’s 5847B fits both housings — but the glass itself will not dim, and the 4425HB fits non-auto-dimming Town & Country mirrors only. A swap on an auto-dimming mirror means accepting the loss.
How do I know which LED glass type my mirror takes?
Work out what actually failed. If the light itself is dead and your mirror is a GM truck mirror with the chevron window in the glass, the LED array is part of the glass — you need in-glass LED glass. If the light still works and only the glass broke, your mirror takes etched-icon glass. Then measure the old glass diagonally and match the outline and features; LED variants are separate part numbers from plain glass.
Why is driver-side glass flat and passenger-side glass convex?
Because FMVSS 111 sets it that way. The driver-side outside mirror must give unit magnification — a true-distance, flat image. A passenger-side mirror may be convex, widening the field of view, only within a fixed radius of curvature and with the permanent etched warning that objects are closer than they appear. That is why convex glass must never go on the driver side.
