Weird mirror problem (everything has a yellow tint)
Something strange has happened to my driver side mirror, at night everything has a yellow tint to it. This just started happening, what gives?

Not sure if this is the problem, but the auto dimming mirror in my son's Acura started doing something like that. It seems that auto dimming works by adding an electrical charge to a chemical in the mirror. On my son's Acura the chemical separated. The only fix was to replace the mirror.
Is your drivers side mirror auto dimming?

Wow, I wonder how that happened? I'm suprised it hasn't happened to anyone else here. Thanks for the reply.
