A dimming mirror assembly (10) has a housing, a reflective member (20), a transparent member (28), a light reducing medium (36), and an actuating mechanism for introducing and evacuating the light reducing medium (36) disposed in a gap between the transparent member (28) and the reflective member (20). The reflective member (20) and the transparent member (28) are carried by the housing. At least one of the transparent member (28) and the reflective member (20) is moveable relative to the other. The amount of light transmitted to and reflected from the reflective member (20) is a function of the volume of light reducing medium (36) therebetween, the volume being variable by effecting relative movement between the reflective (20) and transparent members (28). The controlling mechanism may include an actuating mechanism for effecting the relative movement between the reflective (20) and transparent members (28).
