I believe the mirrors are electrochromatic. May be an issue with that function.

the electro chromatic mirror has two
Connectors on the rear one for heating the other is the electro chromic function,
When I removed the mirror from the car and power supply the mirror remand green!!
But the drivers door side is working fine in day & night mode very odd
This may be a fault within the mirror glass? Which I have not seen before!!

redpop, I had this problem with a GM vehicle that I own, I replaced the mirror glass only (ebay, from a wreck) for about a hundred dollars. No more greenish 3D effect! BTW that effect drove me crazy.
