Help - auto dimming ext mirror hkup
 

Hi All,

I did a search on this and didn't find the relevent info. I bought a set of 210 outside blinking mirrors and the driver side has the auto dimming feature. I don't have the auto dimming interior mirror so can I just hookup up the outside dimmming feature's wires to the headlight switch and have it dim whenever the headlights are turned on? If so, i'll run a tap. Thanks for any advice.

Anyone?

Just my opinion...
 

Personally, I wouldn't want to hook it up that way... dimming mirrors only dim when they sense bright light entering the passenger compartment from the rear to save your night vision.
If you hook it up the way you describe, it will be dim whenever the headlights are on... therefore, your rearward vision in that mirror will be significantly reduced when its dark out... reducing your awareness of what's around you.
When you try to use your mirror when you back up, you won't be able to see...
Just my 2 cents.
