I'm pretty tired of trucks coming up along side me at night and blinding me with my own sideview mirrors. I want a knob I can turn to give me a dim view of these vehicles. I mean, I already have a dim view of them. You know what I mean.

I've heard of people putting window tint film on their side mirrors to reduce glare, that's worth a try. Many German and a few higher-end Japanese cars have a blue coating on the mirrors to reduce glare, it would be nice if they actually dimmed as well, though. |

There are also static-stick circles of window tint you can whap onto the inside of the windows, and peel off when you don't need them, for just this purpose. |

I like the idea, though, anyway. Rather than having to move the mirror out of alignment... |

This has been done... BMW has them |

Auto-dimming rear view mirrors are baked in many cars, the same technology could easily be adapted for the side mirrors too. I wonder why this hasn't been done too... Good idea. |

This has been done. Most high end cars have auto dimming rear view and side view mirrors. They are usually listed in the options as "auto-dimming" or "electrochromatic" mirrors. I have auto dimming side view mirrors on my Cadillac, my corvette and my lincoln. |
