Auto dimming mirrors - Not on the passenger side ?

On my car I have them on the driver's side and the rear view mirror, but the passenger one seems to be a standard mirror. The two auto dimming mirrors have those lines around the margins, but nothing is present on the passenger one. Is this how it is supposed to be? Did Chevrolet cheap out on installing an auto dimming mirror on the passenger side as well? And if the answer is yes, can we install an auto dimming mirror on the passenger side? Maybe from the ZL1 ?...

When it was first introduced, in the C5 Corvette as I recall, it was on both sides. It was cost reduced out some time ago.

Gotta be a cost savings measure. Other manufacturers use an auto dimming mirror on the passenger side.

The 2005 C5 included auto dimming ISRV and driver outside mirrors as part of the preferred equipment upgrade.

My 2014 RAM 2500 has dimming on both mirrors and it's full mirror dimming unlike my Gen5 2SS that has a thin outside line on the mirror non dimming (dimming only about 90% of the surface)...

I owned a 2004 CE Corvette, It was only the Drivers side as well.

Here is the information out of the owners manual for the 2004 Corvette.

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If your vehicle has this feature, the driver’s side
outside mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps
behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and off
setting on the inside mirror. See
Automatic Dimming

I also went back and looked online at the PDF manuals for the car, looks like Chevrolet introduced the auto dimming feature in 2001 on the Corvette.
