I really want to keep the old-style chrome mirrors. But the passenger side one is useless to the driver.

My passenger side mirror will not adjust far enough to be used by the driver. It will not turn in that far.

Where can I get one for the right side that can be seen by the driver? 72 convertible.

Any and all of the gray wire bulbs will light up well when I connect a separate, independent 12 volt power supply directly to the metal around the bulb and a ground. Nice and bright then.
