Default Anyone Notice....

.....what I think is a programming oversight. When it starts to get dark and the headlights automatically turn on, the red, blue and white mirror lights don't dim. You have to shut the car off and restart and they then come on in night mode (i.e., dim).

Those lights are very bright and annoying when these don't dim at dusk.

I notice mine dimmed today at dusk. They also dimmed when I was on the lower deck of the Veranzano bridge during the day, not dark there but my headlights do come on because of the shadowing of the sun.

I'm not allowed out at night. No driving, no dating, no nothing. I'm in bed by 9.

Just kidding of course. Except for the in bed at 9 part.
