The mirrors contain all the bits to make them tint, as m_life said you will just have to feed a 12V supply.

 

As for the mirrors this will be more complicated as you will have to find some electric photochromatic glass mirrors and get it cut to fit the Supra housing. You will then have to get a trigger from the interior mirror.

 

Sounds like a world of pain, but good luck if you try.

By the way, when looking for an interior mirror stay well away from Saab ones. They are crud!!!!!!

 

haha im leaning towards a BMW or Lexus ones as they or probs the best and i'd say the Lexus ones would be easiest to fit being 'Toyota' :)

i probs wont end up doing to side mirrors, sounds like too much hassle!

Unless you develop a wing mirror fetish and see if any Audi or BMW etc have similar sized glass to the Supra

High spec V8 Soarers had the auto tint rear view mirror so there is a Toyota option, not sure tinting door mirrors is even legal?

 

My range rover has auto tinting side and rear view mirrors !!!! the mirror glass is £159 off e.bay, damn good though, really funny when someone try's to be clever and give it main beam behind, it just does not dazzle at all, I normally let em past and return the favour but put it on its high setting and get about 2 inches behine em at the lights.
