Looking for power or dimable side-mirrors for 88 truck.

I can't stand glare when I'm driving at night, so I have to be able to conveniently adjust my side mirrors, and the ones on my '88 don't even have knobs on the interior for manual adjustment.

I could wire in some power mirrors, but I guess I'd need to find some that mount lower on the door and angle up like the stock mirrors, as opposed to most modern mirrors I see that mount into the window area where the window vents go.

Dimming mirrors that lack power movement would work too if such a thing could be found. I wouldn't need to reposition them at night if I could just flip a switch and dim them like with rear-view mirrors. Actually, I think I like that idea better anyway.

Any suggestions?

I have never seen side mirrors that you could flip like the inside rear view mirror .

If it is to bad don`t drive at night !!

Wear tinted glasses .

I drove from Boston back to Allentown at night with just my prescription sun glasses .

I ordered an owners manual, and it references power mirror controls, so I guess I just need to look for a set of those. It didn't even cross my mind that an '88 Toyota truck would have the power mirror option. lol

They do exist, I have some. Chrome, from a 4runner. They are attatched to full power doors. Wanna buy them? Shipping may cost a small fortune though...
