A side rear view mirror assembly (24,26) is used in conjunction with a motor vehicle (10) equipped with a blind spot sensor (16,18) designed to detect objects in blind spots of the motor vehicle (10). The side rear view mirror assembly (24,26) includes a base (38) fixedly secured to the motor vehicle (10). A mirror case (40) is movably secured to the base (38). The mirror case (40) defines a housing (42) and a mirror opening (44) facing rearward. A backing light (64) is operatively connected to the mirror case facing rearward. The backing plate (46) is movable with respect to the mirror case. A mirror glass (54) is fixedly secured to the backing plate (46) and movable therewith in a manner allowing an operator of the motor vehicle to view rearward of the motor vehicle. The side rear view mirror assembly also includes a blind spot indicator (62) fixedly secured to the backing plate (46) and in communication with the blind spot sensor (16,18) to receive signals from the blind spot sensor (16,18) and to indicate to the operator of the motor vehicle when an object is in a blind spot of the motor vehicle. The blind spot indicator is directed at the operator when the operator moves the backing plate to adjust the mirror glass.
