Default Auto-dimming side mirrors?

Anyone know if it's possible to adapt auto-dimming mirrors from another car to the tC? I'm sick of being blinded at night.

maybe you should try to get the auto dimming mirror inside of the car that might help, it did help me tho.

If you aim your side mirrors the right way you will get much less blinding from behind. You should not be able to see the side of your car (thus, the cars directly behind you) through your side mirrors, you should begin seeing where the rear view mirror stops, so it is like one long mirror. I find with that and the auto dimming rear view, I rarely get blinded through those mirrors.

i agree with u on aligning mirrors PROPERLY im a stickler for that and it agravates me when people align them wrong then hit stuff lol.

however i find that cars in the lanes beside me yet behind me DO tend to blind me at night when there isnt much environmental lighting. but.....maybe its just me cuz cars oncoming blind me too. i dont know whats happening with this little eyes of mine. maybe my car is TOO low!!! i would SO tint my windsheild if it werent illegal...and my side mirrors.

is it illegal to place a slightly darker film over the side mirrors? i wouldnt do it just cuz i'd crash but still.
