    Try this - cover the light sensor behind the rear view mirror, and see if you can re-create the "blue tint" effect. When it's overcast, my mirrors dim a bit and appear with a "blue tint", it clears up when the weather clears up.

    the color shift is to not let bright lights blind you, and make low light brighter
