first the zenon's give you away front the front, as you move through traffic. And, the tinted mirrors make it hard to pick up Officer Bob Speed coming up from the rear.

I ended up putting some electrical tape over the sensor on the rear-view mirror to keep them from dimming. With tinted windows it's especially hard to see police behind you when the mirrors tint.

Did that work?

Works great.

...which is why I don't understand why some want to put Xenon gas dischargers in the fog lights

Matt,
The sport mirrors that I got from LLtek work great in this regard. They are tinted blue to reduce headlight glare, but do not dim the way the stock mirrors do. Overall, I find them much more functional-better night time visibility plus wide angle outer lens.

If I didn't have auto dimming mirrors, I would tip up the rear view mirror, in which was the same outcome would happen (that of not being able to see coppers on my butt).

I also like how they undim as soon as the bright lights from behind go away or recede into the distance. When I have to slum it in my other vehicle, I am constantly flipping the mirror up and down.

Just thought I'd represent the other side of the issue. :-}

Vijay, you have any pics of that bad boy yet?

Seems to me that as soon as the sun goes down they stay dimmed...

I wasn't thrilled by the idea of "automatic dimming mirrors. But I have to say that they really work better than I could have imagined. I especially like the way the side mirrors cut out the glare from passed cars. (When you get to be an old fart like me your eyes don't adjust to light as quick)
