how do the little levers work on rearview mirrors that flip it into a dark mode?

I call it dark mode for lack of a better term, but hopefully you know what I’m talking about.

The mirror is shaped like a trapezoid, so there are two different reflective surfaces, one is the silvered metal layer (that’s the bright reflection) the other is the front surface of the glass (that’s the dark reflection). Flipping the lever tilts the mirror so the other surface is at the right angle to reflect your back window to your eyes.
