Auto Dimming mirrors?
So I am 99% sure my Auto dimming mirrors are not working. What is the best way to check these things. Car is going to have have a few little things sorted under CPO and would like to figure out if they are working.
Cheers,
Jim

Go drive around at night, when headlights hit your mirrors, they get a green hue to them....
They will turn back to looking like a regular mirror when nothing really bright is shining into them. Sometimes it takes them a min or so to recognize the bright light, but when it does change it's almost instant.
Or, at night, get a buddy to point his headlights at your mirrors and hit the high beams, if they don't turn green shortly, there is probably a problem when them.

Hmmm...yea...don't think mine are working. They always have a brownish look to them both during the day as well as at night. I have tried putting my finger over the sensor at night for a min or so and then taking it away and they do not change at all.
