What are the lights on the rearview mirror?

This is probably a dumb question, but ...
On the auto-dimming rearview mirror, there are two little lights, which aren't mentioned in the handbook. The one on the right of the switch comes on green when I switch the auto-dim on, so that's clearly just an on/off indicator. But what's the left one for? Or is it an off indicator that's blown on mine?

that's the light sensor. there's another one on the front to stop it darkening in sunlight.

I believe what looks like a light on the left is actualy a photo cell, in other words its the sensor that controls the dimming of the mirror.
