Rear view mirror

Hey everyone, I just bought my B5 1.8T.

Just wondering, if I have a little light on the bottom of my rear view mirror, does this mean I have a auto-dimming mirror?

I wouldnt know because the light isnt on, I probaly just need to replace the battery or something...

Any thoughts?

It's the light sensor

Not a light I think... I'm guessing photoresistor

So this means I have an auto-dimming mirror right? Is there a battery involved?

Or is it hardwired?

definitely hardwired. Look on the back of the rearview mirror, theres a

sensor there too. If you cover the one on the back of the mirror with your finger or something during the day, the mirrors should dim to their darkest possible setting within a few seconds.
