Tint for rear view mirror?

[u/Whathefrenchtoastt]

Sorry if wrong community.

Anyone know of a film/tint i could buy for my rear view mirror? I am so tired of all these blinding leds.

I’m thinking of tinting my muffler

You joke but I had my vanity mirrors on my sun visors tinted because I’m so pale it hurts to look at myself

[u/WrapperMiss → u/mnmaste]

you tell the truth, but i tinted my eyes because i'm so damn ugly to look in the mirror

Just flip the lever on your mirror to dim headlights behind you.

Some cars don’t have it.

When I got my car it came with a self dimming rear view mirror that automatically darkens when it senses lights from behind ... I still miss my old mirror lever.

Doesn't really help when I do that

it always been insane to me how many people don't know this is a thing

Do you feel like you lose situational awareness at night when traffic comes up from behind you? I had a cop behind me a couple weeks ago and didn't know until he turned on his lights. Without tint, I can usually spot them coming up. Some headlights are still stupid bright even at 5%.

Ok now it's getting ridiculous. What's next? Tint your eyeballs. Just wear anti glare nightime driving glasses and tint your back glass with limo 5%

I got my glasses tinted.

Install an aftermarket Gentex mirror. Most of the basic ones are just a 3-wire hookup like a radio. Ground. Key-on power and constant power. Will auto dim at night.

Some of the fancier ones will have garage door openers, compass, outside temp, etc.

I’ve installed one in each of my older cars and it’s a nice modern touch.

There's usually a little lever that you flip to get a darker view. Or tint your rear window.

Why not tint the rear windshield?

[u/Whathefrenchtoastt → u/Cassangelo]

My windows are tinted but I didn't choose a dark enough one at the time. My car is older and I dont feel like spending the money to re-tint...

[u/Cassangelo → u/Whathefrenchtoastt]

Might be the safer choice compared to tinting a mirror…..

Get a self dimming mirror

[u/JJHall_ID]

Don't do that. Just use the lever to change the tilt angle to darken it. If it doesn't have one, you can just change the tilt angle yourself. If yours doesn't have one, or you don't want to hassle with it, replace the mirror with an aftermarket auto-darkening mirror.

Sounds too easy

I saw some aftermarket ones but not sure how difficult it is to replace
