When I first used the rear view mirror at night, in the dim position, on my 99.5 1.8TAvant, which by the way is a truly sweet car, I could see the car behind me with sufficiently dimmed lights but I could also see floating all around it the reflection of the red lighting coming from the sun roof/lighing controls above my head. <p>It was a truly nautious condition. As my head moved the car behind me would shift only slightly while the red lights would circle around it like space ships.<p>I tried to reverse the dim position to its lower frame of reference but the alignment is wrong in that position.<p>I know this will be fixed in MY2000 with auto dimming mirrors, but man it is driving me crazy. Basicaly I don't dim my mirror at night.<p>Hugh <p>P.S. Very little drug use since high school. The red lights are really there.<p>For the complaint police I want to stress again that I LOVE THIS CAR!!

JUST KIDDING! Please no flames!<br>Its Friday! <br>Lighten up!<br>I live in Seattle and it is actually sunny HERE!<br>

Use the lever flipped forward (up) for daytime and the lever flipped back for nightime.<p><br>I hate to say Read The Manual but:<p>The "Supplement to Owner's Manual" that comes with the 99.5 A4....PAGE 10 says:<p>"To ensure the best possible anti-glare effect, the lever on the lower edge of the mirror should be pointing forwards when the basic setting is made.<p>Daylight driving................-lever to front<br>Night driving...................-lever to rear"<p>I know this is reverse from what most of us are used to but it works. No more red light glare!<p>Mitch 99.5 1.8tqms

Although now I can see the reflection of the light gray leather rear seats superimposed over the night image. It is kind of annoying; this type of engineering problem could and should have been fixed. Still better than seeing the red lights though.<p>Dan<br>99.5 2.8QTipS<br>
