[awais.9]

There is numerous online discussion on it. Proper mirror adjustment will be much better. The stick on mirror will help too.

I had a serious crash due to blind spots.
Properly adjusting your side and rear view mirror will help you more. try it and you will see the difference. https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/news-articles-driver-education-safety/202124-blind-spots-danger-how-remain-safe-roads

I don't really need these tbh. I just stick my head out or give indicators very early.
Nice share though. Trucks need this kind of stuff, almost got squashed by one. Luckily I kept my hand on the horn so He noticed... lol.

Yes, it's mainly designed for bigger vehicles! Thanks God you didn't got hit!

That's the point! We have many uncovered manholes and tire killing things on Pakistani roads :o

I would love to get these mirrors in Pakistan. I had it installed in all my previous cars when I was abroad and they are pretty good specially if you are driving a bigger car like SUV's etc.........

5) Is it also a good idea to stick one on your central rear-view mirror?
never used or seen any one doing that

As I mentioned in main thread, you can find normal quality in 150 Rs per pair and good pair of mirrors may cost you around 400rs. You didn't but I did see a central rearview mirror with watch and thermometer on other side in a Datsun 120-Y taxi few years ago

Please see the THIRD (3rd) picture in the main thread above, you'll see how it works

Well, my surf used to have this. Long gone now. And, actually it was helpful. It was just on the right side mirror and it was helpful in this case that back tyre gets visible.

Right side? they say it's more useful on passenger side though.

these are good for the driver side mirrors in the USA because the driver side mirror in the US is a stupid piece of scrap plane mirror. It has a giant blind spot unless you contort sideways.

Sir if you had seen Suzuki FX side mirrors, you'd forget American side mirrors blindspot issue

[Xulfiqar]

oh yes - those are the worst mirrors, but I do know that a certain brand of mirrors for the suzuki FX which had convex mirrors. They usually were double the cost of the regular ones.

@auto_idiot
if u mean last pic in first post,then it isnt clear

btw are you going for them?

having them would mean a little area covered on the mirror as well but if that shows the car full till back then that'd be great

[waseef]

@Chaudhary9 here you go. im using it from last 2 years. on both side you can easily see your rear tyre, thus u go bindas in reverse. they are rotatable and adjustable.

[waseef]

Rear tyre encircled,

@ Waseef

Nicely explained! You must have ground vision while reversing your vehicle for maximum safety and these mirrors are made for many purpose including this one!

So far, the verdict is YES, it's good to use them, but if you have SUZUKI FX like small mirrors, I doubt if it may does more bad than good by making the small mirror even smaller!

[awais.9]

Rear tyre encircled,

thanks for the pic
i noticed the tyre though i was expecting more of it to be visible
this helps in spotting blind spots n anything else too?

@chaudhary9

Whenever you visit Rawalpindi Saddar, go to car accessories shops opposite Kamaran Market. You'll find a pair in 150 Rupees. Buy it, try it and if you don'kt like it, remove the mirrors and give it to your kids for fun

Anyway, you have to be little more cautious during first few days of driving after adding the mirrors. That's what the international driving experts say, you'll get used to it in no time and you will have a better rear view

Okay, your cousins', relatives' or neighbors' kids may find it a cool thing to see their blurred faces

Talking about myself, I have a very rare model of Daihatsu Charade which needs lots of repairing and replacing different parts Side mirrors are one of them. I'll do DIY to fix Suzuki Pickup mirrors and then sure will try these mirrors on PASSENGER side because I can easily turn my neck around from driver side and while reversing, I can even roll down the window and look down if there's a HOLE in FLOOR

they are for blind spot reductions. I first saw this thing in a c180(i think all come with these), like the one in the picture below. This is one whole mirror bent from one side. The purpose is the same.

[chinyoti]

been trying to find these somehow im not able to find these :S , I found a guy on OLX selling them for rs.450 but we couldnt come on the same page deciding the meeting point and the guy didnt wanted to courier them

Anyone knows where to get them in Karachi? I need these i park my car in a very tight spot i have to re-adjust the side mirror all the time (altho being power its not a biggie)

I wonder why you can't find it in Karachi while I can easily find it in Pindi. 450 is okay only if the mirrors are SUPER QUALITY, plus you have to consider the SIZE of your side mirrors. Don't go for too big mirror, it'll confuse you and may actually reduce the rear view. I'm sorry I can't help you as I'm not in Karachi. And yes, this is a big problem if you don't have power side mirror option.

Yeah, that's it, and if you carefully see the picture, you can spot an EXTRA mirror on GMC Savana visible in that mirror because it is a BIGGG VAAAN :o
