Make sure there's not a lot of light around you, like a garage light or something, then take your flashlight, turn it on and point it at the rear view mirror. Watch the side mirror when you turn it on, it'll start to get darker and darker. Then when you shut off the flashlight it'll return to normal.
When the sensor in the mirror detects light, it sends an electric current through a special layer in the mirror that aligns photons inside of it, making it darker.

If your side mirrors get a lot darker that's the eloctrochromatic layer going to work.
i didnt try the flashlight but they were saying there would be two sensors under the mirror and i dont have any so i dont have it =(

-I have heard of problems in other threads about the connectors you get in the kit not fitting right with the f150's, has this been a problem with any of your kits?
-Also whats the difference between the Bi-Xenon Kit and the Xentec kit? Excuse my ignorance...
