I believe they are the same fixing in the screen.

That's my theory, the brighter headlights are confusing the sensor.
I have reached out to dim it myself quite a few times before I remember and realise it's an auto dim.
The fact I'm conscious it needs to dim means I'm having a problem.

One car's lights where that bright, and because he followed me for quite a few miles, I moved the mirror completely askew as it refused to dip and I was getting dazzled that bad.
His lights where these HID type I think,
Interestingly enough, when I ended up with a different vehicle behind, it dimmed no problem!!
