    I don't even know if it exists...

    I just hate getting blinded by a vehicle's headlights via side view mirrors!

    It is a thing. My 2006 BMW 3 series had auto dimming rear view and side view mirrors. They were a fantastic option, haha

    With no heated mirrors as an option, I doubt dimming will be in the near future.

    :) Would have loved them on my 2011. With all the morning dew and frost, I forgot
    how much I missed this feature. Always carried a roll of paper towels in the truck before.

    Some of the Siennas have them. Would be a nice option, although probably far more useful in lower vehichles like cars.
