Can you replace auto dim sideview mirror glass with regular, without issues?

I'm replacing my facelift side mirrors with pre LCI versions, and adding powerfold.

I don't really care about the auto dimming feature (the auto dim lenses are $200 more each side).

I've retrofitted the auto dimming interior mirror, will I run into any issues with running auto dim outside mirror housings with regular glass? Looks like they are heated, but not sure if the same wires handle the dimming.

Been doing this for several months. Have noticed no issues though mirror heating is not something we need down here very often. Was never a fan of the auto dimming, especially as the coating started to degrade. (2008 e88 with power folding, etc)

Awesome, thank you. When you replaced it, did you notice if the auto dimming one had extra wires for that feature? I'd guess yes but haven't seen one in person.
