Rear view mirror tinting - led headlights

Does anyone know where you can buy tinting (e.g. plastic film) to fit over the rear view mirror? I am severely hacked off at being blinded by following vehicles that are fitted with led headlights. SUV's are the worst as the design engineers seem to have ensured that the headlights are at just the right height to consume the entire mirror.

Mine also dims itself.

On my old car, it did not have this, but i retrofitted it.

Was only 12V, GND and 2 wires going to reverse light and door switch.

I guess those 2 was for :

Reverse light = Dont dim we need as much brightness on the mirror as possible.

Door switch = Dont dim, its just the interior lamp flooding you with light

I know what you're talking about, I also don't think the mirror auto-tints dark enough, nor fast enough. Often times I'm looking at bright lights behind me and the mirror thinks everything's fine.

If you want to buy dimming film, I would recommend looking for LightDims on eBay or getting it straight from their webshop (lightdims.com). I bought their film once from ebay to dim the digital clock I have on my nightstand, and it worked great. They offer several different options to choose from.
