Auto-dimming side mirrors
Just curious if the '07-08 TL/TL-S had the auto-dimming side view mirrors?
Recently, I find me being blinded by traffic next to me with my windows down. I may need to re-adjust them, however just wondering if it was a built-in feature?

My 07 does not have auto dimming side mirrors. They are heated tho. The rear view is auto dimming but thats its i believe. Im pretty sure my car is fully loaded.

Might seem strange, but how do you adjust your mirrors? If you adjust them so you can see some of the side of your car while you are in your driving position, they are adjusted incorrectly. If you lean over about 6-8 inches and adjust the mirror so you can see the side of your car, they are adjusted properly and you will have A) minimal blind spot B) Little to no glare. I read this tip in a car magazine a long time ago, and have adjusted my mirrors this way ever since. I have had several of my friends adjust their mirrors this way and they can't believe the difference.

Best way to check your blind spots is to turn your head

I don't have pictures right now (will take some soon), but yes, the tint can wear out. You'll notice it, though; it'd look like someone wiped some sort of brown liquid on your mirrors that you can't get off no matter how hard you try. I haven't had glare problems though, probably because I have them adjusted a certain way.

on how to properly adjust mirrors. Takes some time to get used to, but it is amazing once you get used to it.

The only 'annoying' part of that video is that it doesn't account for my auto-tilt down feature that I use to help me part :P Good tips though, I will adjust them tomorrow morning and give it a shot.

Hmm, guess my mirrors are wrong, but people should still check their blind spot no matter how they are set up. This new fad of blind spot indicators will just make people think its clear when its not lit up and never check the spot :/
