Difference in automotive headlamps converversion kits?

it depends on how it fell off. the mirror itself screws or bolts onto a metal piece that is glued to your windshield. If its just the mirror then slide it back onto the metal piece and and screw it down. If the metal piece came unglued from the window youll need to reglue it but dont use gorrila glue or elmers or anything like that. Im a car mechanic and have seen people glue there mirror back on with industrial glue it doesnt hold for long and essentialy makes it impossible to reglue the mirror once it falls back off. They make a glue you can buy at autozone or just about any of car parts place. Its made just for rearview mirrors. Its like $2. Its inexpensive and it works great. Just make sure you dont try to glue it back on if its like 50 degrees or lower outside or the glue usually wont hold.

You can go to a shop like Advance Auto and get a kit. Make sure you get all the old glue of before you put the mirror back on. I would recommend getting the kit.

My family owns a glass business and we would get people driving to our shop and asking if we could put the rear view mirror back on for them. We would do it for free in hopes that they would remember this kind gesture next time the needed a windshield. So just go to the closest glass business and have them do it.

Is 'PROGRAMMABLE CAR ECU' worth it..??

Boss Man is correct, the exception to his advice is, with a water soluble marker, outline the old glue spot on the outside of the windshield before removing the old glue, so you can replace the mounting plate in the same spot as original.
Once the plate is affixed and the glue is dry, you can wash off the mark on the outside.
