    Let's be honest, visibility can be overrated, too.

    i suggest squishing down to see the light. or stop further away from the line. or you could install a small mirror on the dash (maybe attach it to your phone mount?) as someone already suggested.

    Wait just a sec. Hahaha. I feel like there is something there, but did it take a moderate amount of force to move the mirror into its second hinged position? I'm not trying to rip mine off the mount or anything.

    It's definitely a smaller truck. There are some drawbacks to that.

    I like this idea. Is it just that "set screw" that is loosened and then you move the mirror up? I want to do this, but don't want to screw things up.

    I notice any time i drive in Upstate NY, that i wish i had something like that. Alot of the lights are on a string, halfway across the intersection, instead of at the other side of the light. I always have to curl my head up under the windshield to look up.

    A common tall person mod for a lot of cars is to install a fresnel lens sticker near the top of the windshield. It allows you to see out at a higher angle than just your eyeballs alone.
