When the auto light sensor kicks in it dims my switch illumination way too much and makes it difficult to see unless it is pitch black.
Anyone know of a way of adjusting this maybe in the Star setup? I have of course turned the dimmer up to full (several times) and it is still way too dim...
As noted in my other post, I've just got me hands on an A170 CDI but there are a few wee issues.
1. The dash 'digital' display is very very dim and is barely readable. Is there a way to increase the brightness? The manual says to press the button with + sign on it just left of the display but...
Does anyone know how to test the auto dimming wing mirrors on a C43? My Rear view mirror auto dims, and I have seen it turn slightly darker, but have never noticed the wing mirrors doing anything. How do you check, and what are they supposed to do? How do they work anyway? :confused:
The RVM...
Has anyone had a auto dim mirror leak?
I had my mirrors folded while on holiday last week, when I returned I found the O/S mirror had leaked down the drivers door and the fluid? had baked onto the paint in the recent hot weather. 80% I removed with T-cut but I'm left with a stained door.

Now... I know the Xenon headlamps fitted to my W210 are supposed to be lovely and bright... but I'm pretty sure the normal halogen bulbs in my old car (Alfa 156) were a lot brighter - to the extent that I'm having to be rather cautious driving at night because I don't feel I can see very well...

Can anyone help. For some reason I am having trouble reading the display of the radio/CD player during the day. At night it seems Ok, but during the day I have to get really close ! The headlights are off and so I am assuming it is not some sort of auto dimming system linked with night driving -...
Hi,
I have not taken the plunge to buy a self dim rvm yet (stealership wants chassis number, and has made lots of noises about whether it is or isnt compatible...).
So, I wanted to take off the interior light unit to check for cabling.
I printed out the instructions from the How To...
Am I being really dim? I have just checked the fittings on my rear lights prior to forking out for the MB facelift rears and rather than just swapping the reverse light to the upper section of my 97 W210 it does not have any wires and all appears to work through a sealed unit :confused: So am I...
I need a drivers door mirror and have the chance of an auto dim one,Does anyone know if it's possible to retro fit one into my car and whats involved where the wires go, what loom if needed.Basically im lost on this and need help pls. :D
Hi,
on my 230TE 1988, one of the nice features (I always thought) was when the engine is running, and the sidelights (ONLY) are on you get a brighter beam. It saves having dipped beam headlights on when you don't really need them.
Recently however, this feature has only been working...
