Side view mirrors that dim?

I know some more expensive/high end cars have side view mirrors that can dim or do something to lessen the glare of headlights from cars behind you.

Any ideas on what could be a good solution for the Fit? I have the base model GD Fit and every time an SUV pulls behind me it is almost like their headlights are designed to blind me ugh..

Need some kind of tint or glare-reducing side mirrors..

Can't tint my windows 5%. Tinting the mirrors isn't going to work, I'm sure because no tint that I know of is designed to survive the elements OUTSIDE the car.

Does anyone know if Honda sells a dimming mirror or glare-reducing side view mirror in the JDM? It seems like they have every other possible thing you can think of. This is enough of an issue that I think I might even be willing to shell out some $$ for a JDM part.

Get some mirrors off of a MKIV Jetta or Golf they had blue tinted mirrors as OEM. Most junkyards should have them as the MKIV was the second biggest POS car ever made. The mirrors are fab though LOL
