A vehicular vision system includes a forward viewing camera disposed at and viewing through a windshield of a vehicle. A driver viewing camera is disposed in the vehicle and views the driver's eyes. A control, responsive to processing of image data captured by the forward viewing camera to determine a light source ahead of the vehicle, and responsive to processing of image data captured by the driver viewing camera to determine a gaze direction of the eyes of the driver, determines a forward view path between the driver's eyes and the determined light source and determines a location where the determined forward view path intersects the windshield. The control, responsive to the determined light source having an intensity greater than a threshold level, controls the windshield to locally darken a region of the windshield that includes the location where the determined forward view path intersects the windshield.
