Note: Be sure to use the lightest material you can find as its affect is doubled when the light passes through it to the mirror then back through it again to your eyes. On the mirror the effective dimming is as shown in the picture where the material is doubled in the corners where it goes behind the mirror. Any darker and it will be darker than the "night" settings on modern mirrors.



Old Henry. The mirror shown is a 46-48 mirror and it is a tinted glass so looks like you're trying to improve it??? I have one of those on my 35PU and glare doesn't bother me.
