I have an auto-dim mirror but have never fitted it & l don't think l will either. It sounds as if it could annoy me no end by taking the decision out of my hands. Just like auto-wipers, the ones on my wife's Fiesta are plain irritating in auto mode.

Yes you're right it's because the wavelength of the light is different and the sensor isn't able to cope with it Russ

I absolutely love my auto-wipers, I can just turn it on and forget about keeping the screen cleared. They are that good, I always leave them on auto except when I need the high speed (rarely). The only annoyance is that if I pull in for fuel etc. on a wet day, I have to turn the off then back on to restart them. I found out (or relearned) the other day, whilst trying to save a few seconds - that the boot release is inhibited unless the car is stationary.

I don't have an issue with cars behind dazzling and the mirror not dimming. I don't notice it dimming in the day but then I don't expect it to.
As for reversing in and out of a garage, use the wing mirrors. I don't think either of my cars have the reverse wire connected. As for fitting a manual mirror, goodness no, I'm so impressed by auto dim. I too wear glasses for driving. macafee2 |

Anyway, manual dip now fitted, drove the car in the dark last night, and happy with the result. I'll keep the auto dim I took off for when I sell the car. But no plans to just yet!
