Has anyone experienced this before(pic inside)
Since i got the car a couple months ago, ive noticed this sometimes at startup. its not like this all the time, only sometimes if im in parking garages. Has anyone else seen this before?
i didnt know if it was some sort of auto dim or maybe just a f#cked up mirror lol. thanks in advance

oic, i wondered why my driver's mirror did that.
It's only on the outer edged on mine and it's permanent.

Car is a total loss. I'll take it off your hands after you pay me $10 to dispose of it.
Mine has plain glass, you guys and your fancy Lexus.

I would have sworn that your punked out neon running lights were just too bright.

yep, just be grateful it isn't in spots or blotches like my mirrors. it is part of an anti-glare auto dimming feature.
