Default Auto dimming mirrors and LED headlamps

I cant be 100% sure, but don’t think my auto dim mirrors always work with led headlamps of cars behind me.

Does any one else find this? It seemed the same in the v90 as well.

Or is it just that they are so bright it seems they are not working. Have changed to max dark setting, very visabal change when a car with normal headlamps is behind me.

Cheers. Steve.

My setting is DARK and I need to say that mine mirrors dimming quite significantly when any car is driving behind me.
All mirrors become like green-ish and you can clearly see contrast between edge of the mirror and middle part.

Is it any obstruction on your mirror some how?

Mirror dips fine with xenon and halogen lamps. Just not led.

I will pay attention for that and I will try back to you ASAP. Maybe today after work I will have someone behind me with LED headlights
