You have a weird night-vision mirror... foxymulder3321 December 7 2003, 04:56:55 UTC

When you switch my night vision mirror at night-time, you can only pick up head lights. I've never tried it during the day. That's why they call it "NIGHT VISION."

A lot of people have been asking that question lately... it has to due with the reflection of the headlights. You point the mirror either up or down(when you hit the switch) and it catches the reflections of the lights coming through the window, not the direct light, making it seem like the lights behind you are dulled. IT doesn't work during the day because you can't pick up the reflection from the headlights because the sun.
