Auto Dimming Mirror
Hey guys,
Just picked up a 2013 C63 Coupe - Love It!
One Question: When my mirrors dim to that light blue at night, only the driver side mirror and the rear view mirror dim. The passenger side mirror does not dim.
Is this normal?
Thanks!
Andy

Not sure about your model year, but my 2009 has both the driver and passenger side mirrors that dim. (oddly enough a feature that annoys the crap out of me, sometimes I want to be able to turn it off)

That's correct, only the drivers side and rear view mirrors dim...

depends on which side of the road you're driving, but in my case, (RHD), if I get a beaming light from my left side mirror (passenger) that means I have no business being on the right lane. at least thats what I keep telling myself.

ideally, (RHD) our headlights have lower cutout on the right side from the top of the beam to avoid flashing oncoming traffic. on your case, (LHD) its the reverse. now, when a vehicle passes me on my right, (driver side) his left side beam is what im gonna be seeing on my right side mirror. hence, the dimmer. when they pass me on my left side (passenger) it wont shine as much because of the low cutout from his right headlight. make sense?
