Default Mirror leaking fluid

Hi,
I have a 2001 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro. The car driver side mirror is leaking fluid. Can you guys please let me know where I can get the replacement mirror? Can we just change the glass part or do we have to change the whole setting? Is there a DIY for this?

Appreciate all the help.

Can't remember the name but it's a fluid that reacts to light to dim the mirror. Only w/00 (or 99.5?)+ models.

I just let mine completely leak out and said F it. Not exactly a priority on my neverending Audi to-do list.

ECS knows whats up for sure. Their shipping costs can be ridiculous, though.

Rant ahead....

As much as I love ECS and I tell everyone to go there, their shipping can be stupid. BUT what is really stupid is that I live within 20mins of the place. Well they shutdown the store front and went to ONLY shipping which kinda pissed me off cuz something I need today I have to now pay for shipping and wait to get it when I could just come get it now! EX. of why I hate it, my buddy has a jetta and ecs had floormats on sale for like $25 so we jumped on that like flys on stank and when we went to check out shipping was $19 for regular mail... I called them and told them it was ridicules that I had to pay that much for shipping vs the price of the item, AND that I could have $$$ and just stop up! They recommended we buy something with free shipping and the total would go down but other than that I <3 ECS!
