Auto Dimming Exterior Mirrors

Yes mine does.

 

Actually, a month ago I was looking at my mirrors and thinking how much electronics is jammed into them.

 

Heated glass

LED turn signal

Auto dim

Camera

Motor to close in mirror

LED light to illuminate mat

Motor to power the glass

2 small circuit boards

Approching vehicle sensor

An array of wires running to the mirror...

 

Have I forgotten something? Can you imagine the replacement cost!!!

List is $1180.83

From the Lincoln website.  Both LED and HIDs work the same way - they swivel.

 

That is not how I read that statement.  The LED's illuminate at different intensities, and "adapt" to surrounding traffic.  When turning, the LEDs that point at an angle will intensify, I do not believe that they swivel.

 

edit:  ooops, looks like this was sufficiently covered....  

 

footnote:  I did take notice on one occasion while turning right in my neighborhood, that the additional light was activated on the right side.  It didn't seem to project out as much as down within 25 feet or so....  but I did see it come on.  I tried to replicate this over the next few days, but was unable to catch any transitions, although there was good illumination to the forward side of the vehicle ( just didn't catch it 'in the act' ).
