Tint looks great!
Unfortunately you're right. The tint is fooling the little light sensor on the mirror (visible just underneath your left pinky finger in the second pic) into thinking that its dark outside. That's causing the mirror to dim so you don't get blinded by headlights behind you. To prevent that, you can either replace the mirror, or pull the auto-dimming fuse in the fuse box in the passenger compartment. That will disable the auto-dimming on both the rear view mirror and side mirrors, if equipped.
