How does this work for night driving? Usually I can use a lever to tilt the mirror to dim the headlights behind me.

I find that it's not really an issue. Since the mirror is convex, it makes everything a lot smaller, including the high-beams of the jerk behind you. So it's not as bright and annoying.

Hi Tony, I use them for shooting glasses in and outdoors. I have never used them for driving at night. I have a yellow pair i use for night driving.

I have the Cherokee Latitude with large box behind the mirror, but also don't have auto dimming. I got the Sunshade that has the cutout space for the sensor behind the mirror. It fits fine.

My reverse lights illuminate rear areas at night pretty well, and I haven't noticed any difficulty seeing images in the dark. '02 Corvette Coupe.

You can see out but if you drive a lot at night and need to see well out of the window (for details), it may be hard to see things. If your night driving consists of city traffic and freeways for short distances, it will help shade the bright car lights but you can still certainly see vehicles! Reading details of signs on windows or aside of the road would be harder through this shade at night.

The brightness is just enough to be visible during the daytime. At night, it is not as bright as the headlight or the OEM DRLs. IT's more of an accent lighting. I hope it helps.

Hi,Thanks for the question if the vehicle already has an auto dimming mirror, orhas a harness that has power then this will work, you should test your vehicle to check before confirming the order.Thanksautopartsotys

The light remains on as long as it can sense your presence in front of the mirror. Then it stays on for another few seconds (just in case you moved away to reach for something). But there is no adjustment. If the light is not staying on and you are in front of the mirror, maybe you are not in front of the sensor? I noticed that when I was doing very close work - I tended to be positioned at the very bottom of the mirror. As the sensor is up top - I did have the light turn off on me once or twice. Just make sure that some part of you is actually in front of the sensor, and you will be fine. I now lean/look over to one side when doing the close-up inspections. Problem solved. It is a great mirror - can't believe that it is worth the price, but it really is.

If you have tinted windows and dark colored seats, you can see it great. My car has a light colored interior and no tint on the windows so I have to tilt the mirror down to eliminate the glare. Compared to a $450.00 factory setup my $50.00 setup works great with the limitations it has. The ideal solution would be to install a monitor into a dark recess of the dash so there would be no glare. The problem is then you are looking down and not able to see your other mirrors in your peripheral vision.

This is not recommended for night driving although it would work. The chance of cutting out something you need to see is rather great, it would seem to me. I use night vision sunglasses to cut down on glare and they work much better. Either the yellow or the light brown work well. GMM

There might be a switch on your dome light or map light to individually/manually turn on and off. The plastic light cover is usually a push button type. Also, on the left side of the steering wheel there might be a dimmer switch to either dim down or brighten all the way till it clicks on. Anything manually clicked On has to be clicked Off or it will stay on and drain battery. Good Luck.

They will respond to artificial bright. I dont think i would drive with them at night. Fast dark response, but much slower clearing response time. Dont think they would work good for night driving.

I have not used it at night but it works well at dusk. Cant beat it for the price. You want something that works at night go gen 3 night vision or thermal, but $$$

To a very small degree, yes. But I'm reality, in my case, no matter what I tried, it wouldn't work. I couldn't adjust it. Then again, I've never replaced headlights before. The more definitive answer, I would say no. I wish I could be more help. I wish I was part mechanic part I-can-work-on-cars-at-home.

Like the others have said, you need a constant lead for the power, and one switched source to turn the mirror off with the car. Also tinted windows may cause the mirror not to dim all the way.

It tilts. You can also fold it completely onto itself so it just gives off a little sliver of light. Worth the money IMO

Hello, To dim the brightness on the backlight, you just press the snooze button until the desired brightness has been made. thanks.
