Just installed the 'Wide angle side mirror glass for model 3' with the 'blue lens anti-glare' from Hansshow.

Cost was $68.85 after using the discount code 'becausetesla'. Delivery took just under 6 weeks.
Installation video from YouTuber 'Because Tesla' is here, but I've added some photos of my installation below:
Unboxed
The two pins on the rear are for the heating element. Note there's no pins to support the auto dimming feature that came with 2019 models so you lose this functionality but gain the 'always on' anti-glare function that the blue tint provides.
Removal
For the passenger side (UK) I was able to move the mirror so that the far edge was away from the housing as much as possible then slip my fingers behind the glass and pull directly off. You need to transfer the two pins for the heating element off the existing mirror and on to the new mirror.
Bit trickier on the drivers side as the mirror doesn't extend as far out, so used a wide pry tool covered in a micro fibre and pulled off one side until I could get my fingers behind it.
I did have a good look in both mirror housings for the wifi antenna, pretty convinced it's in the passenger side (UK) but if it is, it must be hidden behind the mirror motor assembly or between the assembly and the wing mirror housing cover.
Installation
Once you've transferred the pins over (I don't believe it matters which one goes where) just push firmly in the centre of the mirror to fit it back on to the motor.
I really like the blue tint, it's really subtle. Not driven at night with them yet so will report back if there are any issues.
Viewing Angle
Not particularly scientific but should give you an idea, The before photo was taken from my driving position, not the maximum reach of the mirror. The after photo was taken with the mirror positioned as it was previously set, I've since adjusted this now and can view an additional 60cm or so.
My daughter unenthusiastically held a metre stick from the rear edge of the car for reference:
Before:
After:
Overall, really happy with them. It's a nice quality of life upgrade, certainly not essential.
