I have one I can take a photo of, the one on my 124 is a prototype BMW mirror we put on a 124 mount, looks better IMO than the 124 which had a switch on the chin. There is also a plug-and-play wire harness, plugs in-between the 124 overhead console and wire harness to add the mirror wires, I'll try to find it and get a photo or part numbers.
Yeah those Gentex mirrors were ugly, but i suppose they at least matched the generation if you are some sort of era-purist

and they are cheap, as they were available on most domestics of that time and the base is a simple swap. Search ebay for the Gentex-100 or an autodim mirror from a 95 Orvis edition Grand Cherokee
