I also think its the sensor. Ive never seen it come on as a light so Im pretty sure thats all it is.

The box next to the green light is a light sensor - detects bright/dazzling light behind you and dims the mirror. Would be useless to have it in front for that purpose. What you DO have in front is the light sensor for the auto headlights.
