    It doesn't seem my auto dim mirror is working.
    Coming home tonight I did not see a difference the lights behind me were right in my eyes.
    I thought it should have a green haze.
    How can I tell?
    Thanks

    Block the sensor on the front of the mirror from any light(the side that faces the windshield) and shine a bright flash light in the light sensor on the mirror side by the on/off button. You should see a change in the glass. If not, the mirror is bad. If you have dark tinted windows (like me) it's hard to tell if it's working sometimes.

    If you have a sliding rear window, open it and test it at night.

    At first, I experienced the same and realized that the tint may be just enough to show any major change.
