Rear View Mirror Dimmer Reflection. The manually dimming rear view mirror isn't actually dimming anything sorta. When you flip the mirror, the back mirrored surface actually points toward the dark ceiling, so you don't see that image. It's just a mirror with a sort of differently angled window/mirror in front of it. For example, if you set the rear view mirror to the night mode and shine a light at the ceiling you will see two reflections: When light sensors on the mirror catch glare, a current is sent to the electrochromic gel that sits between two pieces of glass in the mirror. What you see instead is the image reflecting off the front of the glass, and this is much dimmer that the pure reflected image so it does not hurt your eyes. This current causes the gel to change color, which dims the appearance of the mirror Here’s the clever, simple secret to how.
