When you're driving around Opelousas, LA at night, bright headlights shining in your eyes can make it harder to see what's in front of you. Fortunately, many vehicles available at Sterling Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram come with auto-dimming rearview mirrors. Since these mirrors can darken, they can make bright headlights less of a distraction. An auto-dimming rearview mirror functions like a normal mirror during the day. However, at night, it's ready to make the right adjustments to help you. It comes with light sensors as well as an electrochromic gel, and these components are sandwiched in between its layers of glass. When bright lights shine directly at the light sensors, the sensors react by sending out an electrical charge. This charge reaches the electrochromic gel almost instantly. The gel then undergoes a reaction in which it becomes darker, and the mirror then appears dimmer. When bright lights are no longer detected, everything reverts to normal.
