When you have someone behind you that has their high beams on, and you can't see, sometimes there are the little flippy knob things and it moves the mirror so the light isn't in your eye, how does that work when it doesn't look like the mirror moved?

Magic!
OK actually it has something to do with the angle when the mirror's moved. Normally the mirror is in a vertical position so you get all the highbeam light. When you flip that switch, the mirror tilts down a little deflecting most of the light

There is the silvered part of the mirror, with glass atop that. It moves the mirror slightly up (not down as someone said) so that you are seeing a reflection through the glass part now, not the silvered part, which reduces the amount reflected back to your eyes. If you look at the roof as you flip the lever, you will see where the biggest part of the reflection goes.

The lever moves the mirror glass behind the lens you are looking through.

It's a magical illusion using mirrors.

Most new miooros have light sensitive shading to them, they adjust and get darker to bright light. They are nice and work pretty good.
