Anti-glare Rearview Mirror?

Anti-glare rearview mirrors consist of a special mirror, two photodiodes, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller receives signals from the photodiodes for both front and rear light exposure and is installed below the front windshield inside the vehicle. They can be categorized into manual anti-glare rearview mirrors and automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors. Below is relevant information: 1. Anti-glare rearview mirror: Installed below the front windshield inside the vehicle, the anti-glare rearview mirror effectively blocks direct strong light from the rear through physical principles or electronic components, ensuring the driver's vision is not affected and maintaining driving safety. 2. Usage: When the vehicle is exposed to intense light from the rear, the manual anti-glare rearview mirror requires the driver to manually activate the anti-glare function to block the strong light from affecting the driver's vision. When not needed, the anti-glare function can also be manually turned off to clearly observe the traffic conditions behind.

The anti-glare rearview mirror is truly a night driving marvel! The auto-dimming mirror in my car is super convenient—when headlights shine from behind, the sensor in the middle of the mirror dims the reflection within seconds, turning a soothing green that doesn’t hurt the eyes. Simply put, it works by the light sensor detecting intense light and automatically activating the dimming function. If it fails due to a dead battery or blocked sensor, remember to check the fuse or clean the small black dot sensor area on the windshield. Manual versions are more common, featuring a small tab at the bottom of the mirror—just flip it down when facing bright lights to adjust the angle, reducing glare without losing visibility. This feature is worth noting when choosing a car, especially for drivers who frequently travel at night.

Last week's heavy rain at night made driving possible only thanks to the anti-glare rearview mirror! During torrential rain, reflections doubled, and the lights from cars behind turned into blurry spots on a regular mirror. The manual anti-glare mirror's physical angle switch is the most reassuring—hearing the 'click' sound confirms a successful switch. After four years of use, here are some tips: the switch lever is usually right below the mirror frame; avoid operating it on bumpy roads to prevent gear jams; don’t apply dark tint film on the inner side of the glass. A friend’s newly installed streaming rearview mirror also has auto anti-glare, but only high-resolution ones are effective. This feature actually costs just around a hundred bucks but can reduce emergency braking risks by 80%.

The anti-glare function is actually hidden inside the laminated rearview mirror! The lens contains special electrolytic gel, which darkens when electrified to absorb strong light. Basic models require manually flipping a lever to adjust the angle, while luxury cars often combine light sensors with electronic control. Maintenance is simple: keep the windshield light sensor unobstructed and wipe the mirror surface monthly with a microfiber cloth to remove oil film. For modifications, OEM parts are recommended—aftermarket lenses tend to yellow with aging. Even if the car behind uses high beams, the anti-glare mode still clearly outlines two lanes ahead, proving safer than turning your head.
