Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror, Has anyone done it? Options

[nbscooters]

I live in an area where aholes take dads hand me down pickup truck, put a lift kit, and fog lights on it. They spend hundreds of dollars on their trucks and they dont bother adjusting the headlights properly. Meanwhile they never get to really use the suspension on the truck other than driving down Beach Blvd. to hit the railroad tracks.

So I am wondering if anyone has ever tried attaching an auto dimming rear view mirror? I know it can be done no problem. I have seen some mirrors with all sorts of features....hmmmm

First is there a factory alternative to this? For example do Porsche's factory offering come with auto-dimmers? This would keep it factory per-se. If I were swapping mirror out and trust me I do feel your pain with truck lights in your mirror, but I would want map lights integrated as well. I do find it easy enough though to flip the little tab and "manually" dim the mirror. The only experience I have with auto-dimmers is in my Lincoln, which BTW has a rather large mirror that would look out of place on our tiny windshields. That is a big consideration for me.. what would look right?

All the sensing modules are built in generally aren't they? All you would need to do is supply power if that were the case.
So, now as I write this I am thinking about those map lights and keeping the dimensions the same and I see small LEDs and microswitches in my future. We'll see.
