The outside mirrors, that is. The rear view mirror above the windshield seems fine.

I got the luxury package, and that's one of the features listed on the site... but I looked at the dealer sticker after I noticed this, and they don't seem to have that feature listed under the Luxury Package section. But it's explicitly described as the "Luxury Package (18" RW)", at a list price of $4,215 -- exactly the list price from the website.

What's the deal here? Has anyone else seen this issue? Will I have any luck here if I take it up with the 'ship since this feature isn't technically listed on the sticker? I've had the car for a bit over a month and just realized this...

I think I remember reading a post like 2-3 weeks ago about someone who had it but it stopped working or didn't work from the start.

I'll try to find it for you.

Maybe this will help? Read the reply... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hlight=mirrors

Oh, I see. Thanks. I'll have to remember to try that next time I take her out.

Just so you are not misunderstanding the dimming feature. The rear view mirror dims, the side mirrors tilt when in reverse.

Electrochromic:

Sensors in the rearview mirrors compare the intensity of light reflected in the mirror with that of the surrounding light. A large difference indicates glare, which is then reduced automatically by changing the mirror's reflectivity. This is accomplished by changing the electrical current being sent to an electrochromic element in the mirror (which is similar to a liquid-crystal display in a digital watch).

So the side mirrors don't auto-dim?

I know my rear-view mirror definitely dims.

Kepeli

No they don't, if they do then mine don't work.

My side mirrors definitely dim.

I would like to know is there a module/parts that I could buy and intall in order to have the auto-tilt mirrors function?

the rearview mirror and the side mirrors dim. It says it in the owners manual.

So..... the mystery still remains! Does it "dim" or does it "Not Dim"?? Which one should be standard with the Lux. Pkg....??

The Lexus web site suggests that they do:

"Electrochromic (auto-dimming) outside mirrors with auto tilt-down in reverse"


Note "outside" and "mirrors" (as in more than one).

Cornellian

^^^ Yea, I checked that too. But, that means that people who don't have it can probably demand a refund or have it installed in their cars, since lexus is not putting them in like they tell us on the website!!!

ABC

I would like to find that out too actually. Woudl be nice for them to tilt down.

ISbb

BMW and Benz has that for long time ago!! And there are module that you could buy and install from Japan but I am not sure do they compatible to Lexus IS (since IS is so new) around 200USD each
