After finally installing my auto dim mirror (with a few mods) I never really got a chance to see how it works... until tonight. Had to run some errands this afternoon/evening & when it was time to head home, it had got dark. Never even thought about the mirror until a line of cars behind me with their high beams on decided to ride my butt for several miles. When I looked up in the mirror, it was darkening & I didn't get blinded like I used to. Have to say this is one really handy little mod & I highly recommend it, either the full blown mod with headlight controls or the "light" version (pun intended) like I did with just the auto dim functions. :yes:

where it turns the headlights and running lights on..... he has it only hooked up to dim the mirror.... he controls when the lights come on and turn off.....
Yea, I like to be in complete control of everything so I didn't use the auto light function, but I did crack the housing open & install a mini toggle switch & a green & red led. Now I can even control when the mirror auto dims :thumbsup: I just had an idea... why couldn't you use the headlight control function of the auto dim mirror to control something else ??? Hmmmm, now I've got something else to work on
