Are these mirrors glass & metal housing or cheap Plastic?

Not really sure but they are very thin compared to others on the market so there is not much to see which is why I bought them. They do not stick out at all from my mirror.

Dear Merle, I think it is plastic covered in a metallic colour. However, I have had the mirrors for about a year (after a rough) winter and they seem to hold up fine. Even if you have to replace them every couple of years, the price is worth the safety.

these are not metal, but trust me, they work fine. You might want to consider a larger version though for better vision.

Not sure, but doesnt matter.. It has great reflection and very clear.. Highly recommend it.

I made one order containing two mirrors. They are a little light/cheap feeling but have performed very well.

the mirror is glass! If you go to walmart and see the exact same package and brand, that is what you are getting here. Very nice quality kit.

ours are definitely plastic, which is what I prefer - in our household glass would break sooner rather than later... these still look very nice, not at all foggy or scratched.

It's a real mirror made of glass... But that is all you get the mirror, no mounting brackets to mount to the motor mechanism brackets inside the mirror housing. I just glued the mirror in place with a marine adhesive I had on hand. A few dots on the interior mirror housing bracket. It sets back a little more, but it works and has not fallen off yet.

They are a clear plastic. Very nice product, looks almost like glass. Used at a wedding reception and looked great!

They are plastic like the original equipment. I have never seen modular lamps made of glass.

Glass, I found it is a very nice mirror, irrespective of the price. The stand has a nice finish and is solid and the mirror quality is fine.

They are optical grade plastic and I have produced some beautiful photos with them. I would recommend them to any Photographer

Mirror-glass , mirror surround(head)-plastic , head adjustment-3 metal screws that tighten plate onto ball head of vertical metal bolt(head to bracket) , bracket-metal. Not nearly as good or substantial as similar mirrors fitted to older toyota pick ups. Maybe ok on some vehicles but vibrates and wobbles on my mazda bongo(diesel)van. To sum up , you will not pay a lot but you will not get a lot as they are a cheaper version of a good style of mirror. caveat emptor

The lens covers I received were plastic and were the same good quality level as the ones I removed to install these. I would definitely recommend these.

It is plastic. Mirror like finish. I have had mine for a few months and it still looks like new.

Plastic. The entire housing is made of the same stuff, aside from the inside reflector and the mount.

It is neither glass nor metal. There is a plastic coating over the mirror. My guess is a thin reflecive material under the plastic that is lightweight. There is no distortion in the mirror either.

I just went out and checked mine. They are glass. Probably not as thick as OEM but for the price, can't be beat.
