Default NEW MIRROR, which brand

Hey guys, i need to get a new left hand mirror for my 1995 Limited, so it is an electric mirror, anyway i was wondering which brand of mirror is the best quality?
Rock Auto has;
K Source for $48.89
Dorman for $74.79
2 different OMIX-ADA for $82.79 and $84.79 respectively.

Also, my Jeep was made in December 1995, does that make it a 95 or 96 model year, when did the model year start, i can't seem to find the information regarding this.

Your help is much appreciated, regards

Aaron.

What does your title say? It's probably a 96. Calendar year and Model year are related, but not the same.

My registration, says it is a 96 and it was originally registered in early 96, although that could be the time it took on the boat from the US to Australia,etc.
In regards to the mirrors which one do you think is the best quality, if you have used one or heard about them.

to know if it's a 96, one way i know is to look at the fuel rail. is the pressure regulator at the rail? if not it's in the tank and it's a 96 model year. if it is at the rail, you have a 95.

also i'm not sure about the wiring, but 97+ mirrors are a nice upgrade to the older model ones. it shouldn't be too hard to wire, i got 2 heated mirrors in mine, 23$ each at the junkyard. i didn't have power mirrors so i just cut the wires
