I still get bad glare from SUV's behind me. I dont like our side mirrors, they kinda get in the way of my line of site when turning. I noticed when I was driving a mercedes how the side mirrors are perfect not to block vision and wished my cl was like that.

I have 14% and have no problem with any bright lights. What % do you have? But if there is a way to have that mod installed I bet it's costly.
