What are "o/s" mirrors?

"Includes Bi-HID Adaptive Headlamps w/Automatic Leveling; O/S Mirrors, Driver's Seat & Steering Wheel Memory; Alloy Pedals; Perforated Leather Seat Trim; Heated & Ventilated Front Seats; Power Tilt & Telescoping Steering Wheel; Sport-Tuned Suspension; P225/40YR18 Front & P255/40YR18 Rear Summer Tires & Rain-Sensing W/S Wipers."

From KBB - are there different size mirrors?

You may not see them dim, but can definitely see that the reflected headlights are not as intense.

Luxury or Sport Packages only. If you don't have memory seats, you don't have dimming outside mirrors.

Make sure your mirror control switch (the one you use to adjust the movement of the mirror) is either set to the left or right mirror and not in the center.

I don't have the auto dimming mirrors (AU Prestige) in or out but in the RX, the exterior ones dim at the same speed and cut out the same amount of light as the interior one.
