Umm, you mean high beam dimming when oncoming vehicle approaches? Must need to be activated or is fitted as an option as I do not have Auto Dimming lights.

This is a poor photo of what I am looking at.

It's an option and nothing's under the cover if option not fitted.
However, I know someone who does have the auto dipping lights and nothing under that cover.
So the sensor must have moved at some stage in later models.

Interesting. There’s a massive thread on D3 uk regarding heating where they discuss the addition is a humidity sensor that’s supposedly found in there however not sure that’s fact.

My MY10 didn’t get the box..

I thought it was the rain sensing wipers? My 2014 model has it. If its not for the wipers where is that sensor?

Behind the mirror mount itself, through the glass.
