Rear View Mirrors at Night

I really hated driving around at night because of the dash mounted rear view mirror. With the headlights behind me at the same level as my mirror, it was like looking directly into the sun.

Did a search for a day/night mirror and found nothing.

Many times I just turned the mirror away so I did not get the welding flash from the headlights. Not too safe!

So I disassembled the mirror and added some window tint. Wow, what a difference. In 6 months of driving, I have NOT adjusted the mirror at night.

Try it .... you'll like it.

I had a RVM problem recently, was mounted too high and was cheap and wobbly, all I could see was my full width rollbar, and so I needed a good low mount day/night replacement.. found a compact mount-to-the-windshield unit at Auto Zone for $13.95.

It worked perfectly.. I can now see the actual traffic behind me even at freeway speeds and at night..
