Bright lights at night can interfere with your ability to see on Shell Rock, IA roads, putting you and your fellow drivers at risk. Luckily, an ingenious solution helps to tame those bright LED headlights reflecting in your rearview mirror.
Auto-dimming rear-view mirrors work by encasing a special gel between two layers of glass. This gel is composed of a special electrochromic substance that darkens when a pulse of electricity enters it. As bright lights shine on your rearview mirror, a sensor registers the fact and then releases an electric charge into the electrochromic gel.
The now-darkened mirror absorbs the excess light rather than reflecting it into your eyes. When the source of the bright headlights moves out of position, the mirror’s sensor notes the difference and stops sending the electric pulse into the gel. The mirror then reflects the scene behind just as it normally would. Visit our showroom today at Roling Ford.
