There is no reason I need to see the side of my truck. I know where it is. I want to see the adjacent lanes without having to turn my head or move or stand on one leg while blowing bubbles....... I post a pic that clearly shows the mirror works as it should and you blast me..... You know what to do with yourself........

I would tend to agree. The right side is not as effective.

Adjust your mirrors as you see fit. And please leave it at that.

You beat me to it! I was going to tell him exactly the same thing AGAIN. Oh he is the only one that knows what good headlights are too. I;m not saying that the Hologens are the best, BUT they beat the hell out of sealed beam lights. I would have loved to get the Factory LEDs but I didn't want all the other stuff in the 502A package or the extra expense.

This is the very definition of bickering.

Enough, guys, back to the tech topic, or this thread will be closed.

A quick look in the mirrors then a glance over my shoulder and I've not hit anybody or forced them off the road (that I know of) in 72 years. I think that all driving instructors will tell you the value of that over the shoulder peek.

10.4 on that.

Our new car has the outer edge of the mirror cut straight vertically, with the small sliver of the mirror acting as the blind spot mirror. I don't hate it yet, but give me time.....
