Great presentation! do this!

[@MrScott-eb8nl]

this is genuinely one of the most useful automotive channels on TH-cam. thanks Jake!

[@stuartkynoch7289]

Most people don't have their mirrors adjusted properly anyways. Hint, if you can see the side of your car in the mirror you have it wrong.

[@7mm08]

This. You're also supposed to lean a little bit to make sure and of course check over tour shoulder if you're not tailgater

[@musewolfman]

What you see in the very edge of your rearview mirror should just barely overlap with what you see on the inside edge of your side view mirror, on both sides. Takes a little getting used to, but my god, it is a huge difference.

[@Myrune1]

My BMW K1600GTL has those mirrors. Pretty awesome.

[@someone28]

If you are looking for euro mirrors for german cars, the cheat is to order from Japan. I get parts insanely cheap. A whole Brabus body kit cost me $1k shipped

[@Highlander8282]

No blind spot if you adjust your mirrors properly. The side mirrors should aim outward more, so the rear-view image continues in the side mirrors.

[@ImSrry4BeingWhite]

100% Jake is 100% cool guy

[@user-mt9de5wt5y]

A hive of bee's helped me make my own version on the passenger side.

[@danstewart8218]

Go Jake!, Lets hope this goes viral so he can mend his Honda. ;D

[@truckerdaveandred6731]

Your shorts crack me up

[@Danman1972]

I used to have the "stick on thing". I've not put one on my truck because they have an integrated turn signal that it would cover. I really like them on my last truck. Especially when towing. If they had one for my truck that had turn signal option I certainly would. I like the integration.

[@josephsager9425]

I just watched a Hoovie's Garage video today where he splashes you with water and spends the rest of the video complaining that you're "probably gonna quit after that" but conspicuously doesn't show him apologizing to you lol.

[@deaddad6310]

Just bolt on some tow mirrors for a truck. You'll look cooler too

[@yaboirico5221]

shit i gotta do that when i lift my FRS

[@300DBenz]

Am I the only one left who knows how to angle the side mirrors (correctly) to completely eliminate blind spots?

[@craiggotgame]

Never made any sense to me why people aim their mirrors to see the side of their car…

[@MagicBrownMan]

I agree... I keep asking people if they forget where their car is or something, any space you waste on seeing your own car is vision your sacrificing.

[@WildDigger]

They have these for e85 too. I need to get a set.

[@DongleSama]

i got some of these for my F30... they werent $30... anyway i always thought the same of why we dont get these in the states on these cars. My moms old lexus had them from factory but thats the only car i've ever seen with them before

[@pizzamon795]

If you adjust your side mirrors correctly, you won't have any blind spot. Your rear view mirror is for seeing behind you.

[@geezavictoria7089]

Great video Jake , it’s the same in Australia 🇦🇺.
Must be a design rule here….
My European Kia Proceed GT has the line and blind spot mirror bit .

[@michaeltutty1540]

Wonder if they make it for the Volvo 240.

[@michaelcondon8286]

100% Jake coming in clutch

[@abysstoid1503]

Those type of mirrors came standard on our 2014 Honda accord from factory. Later models of the accord just have standard mirrors. How sad.

[@daviddennett2645]

I believe those are convex mirrors?

[@benjaminkamben4908]

They are technically not legal. However; I don't think an officer would EVER enforce it. See mirrors on cars in Europe do not include the etched on phrase "objects in mirror are closed than they appear". Not having that etched on the bottom of the passenger side mirror is against DOT regulations in all States accept Hawaii and Alaska. Don't believe me? Ask a Highway Patrol or State Trooper. How did I learn about this you ask? My friend Thomas got ticked on his way back from Michigan. His Audi A4 had been vandalized earlier that year and someone smashed his mirrors off with a baseball bat so he replaced them with the European SPEC ones. Next thing he knows he is getting pulled over for a break light being out and gets an additional fine for the Mirror's. It was a Michigan State Trooper that ticketed him. When he looked into it he discovered that the American DOT REALLY HATES tinted mirrors of any kind and it is missing that safety phrase. You have been warned.

[@PaddyBoy644]

Volvo do this on all there cars standard.

[@LarryReynolds591]

They're illegal here in the US, at least from the factory.

[@xile321]

I've wanted one of these for a long time but wanted opt for a genuine one. How's the quality of this part compared to the genuine mirror?

[@ThatOneCastleGuy]

That’s actually interesting.

[@thepfeiffenator2990]

Honda has those.

[@Val-mm5gd]

Ford has these mirrors

[@sicilyny5375]

Can't find the name or where to get the $30 mirror..2 angle mirror...I'd love to find the description or the mirror.

[@Craig-wp3pz]

Or you could just look over your damn shoulder, you know, LIKE YOURE SUPPOSED TO!
Its called the lifesaver check for a reason, in UK, contact another vehicle and failing to check (often caught on dash cam) will see you in the Dock

[@joedunn1109]

So, you think looking away from your direction of travel is better? In truth, if you aim your mirrors correctly you never have to turn your head. At most, you lean slightly toward the mirror while looking at the mirror to see there entire space beside your car.

[@Craig-wp3pz]

@@joedunn1109 no, you look BEFORE you move, hence it saves lives, it should also be done AFTER a mirror observation, before the ACTUAL maneuver, ie, changing lanes on freeway, or turning right from a red light, I learnt it as a car driver, but lived by it as a biker, and I am required to do it BY LAW (1978 highways traffic act 1978) as a truck driver 😉

[@joedunn1109]

@@Craig-wp3pz And while your turn your head and look over your shoulder, you are still moving forward, AWAY from the direction you are looking. In many vehicles, simply assuming the side mirrors wider than most people do will eliminate the blind spots. Moving your head sideways by leaning slightly let's you clear they entire area next the car without having to face away from your direction of travel. This is the approach advocated by the society of automotive engineers (SAE). Driving instructors taught the incorrect assuming of mirrors for a long time, and I suspect many still do. I was taught the wrong way myself, but read the SAE white paper many years later and moved my mirrors outward. My state has also changed the driver's manual (against which new drivers are tested) to retire setting the side view mirrors the way I do it. There is absolutely no reason to set mirrors so that you are your own car, and so that the side view mirrors show essentially the same picture as the rear view mirror. Obviously, driving a vehicle with no rear view is different. But for standard passenger cars, there is no reason to compensate for a large blind spot. It can be eliminated. That is what the side view mirrors are for, per the SAE.

[@ragnarocking]

But why give people a simple mirror that gets the job done when you can over-engineer a solution like audible and visual "blind spot warning systems" and charge them extra for it and charge them an obscene amount of money to repair them should they ever become disabled.

[@jetlifesr6437]

But what about my 2002 Tahoe Jake 😭😭😭😭

[@mouaxiong8618]

Americans cant drive for jack and dont use their mirrors. Its cheaper to make the regular ones.

[@theinsuranceguy101]

More of this. You are funny man 😹

[@christopherwilliams9418]

I looked in their store and it doesn't look like they have mirrors for my Beetle ;o;

[@vamosaltemacongabrielmende3965]

Hilarious, but useful.

[@Sucky657]

How is it that 2022 yet nothing has changed in terms of technology 🤷‍♂️

[@sicilyny5375]

Cause car tech sucks in America..basically . Motto ..cheapest we can give them and charge the most...we do it!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@aggressivelancer]

It’s cheaper to make it that’s why the us does not have it

[@omega8224]

The stickons are cheaper and work as a 2nd set of eyes

[@darkmaster0w]

Idk, $40 seems pretty cheap for the pair lol

[@tomdelisle8955]

Too bad no one uses their mirrors any more. They depend on their cars warning system, ugg

[@TheRoadWarrior]

To bad the link is only for bmw

[@Ghost_ally]

That’s cool and my dad needs it

[@jamadail]

I think I'm too European because I though this was standard nowadays

[@Jimsathome]

Cool!😉

[@wizard101lover1231]

How about you adjust your mirror correctly? Too lazy to lean forward a bit or turn your head to check?

[@darkmaster0w]

Whose ugly Scion is that in the background. 1\10
