    I have them. I love having them, they work great and allow me to just turn my head slightly when changing lanes to the left instead of turning around!:D

    They also work great when hauling a 5' X 8' enclosed trailer.

    You put them where-ever you need 'em to be.

    If you get the 'stick-on' variety.....before peeling the sticker, use some masking tape and temporarily tape them in different spots until you find out the optimum location.

    Yes I have them on my new mirrors but it is taking a little while to get used to them.

    But they are not just the stick on kind.

    I like those. If you don't mind me asking, who makes them and where did you get them from? Do they stick on to the top?
