Default Being blinded in mirrors

I know everyone has this problem in their lowered honda. Trucks/Suvs/anything remotely large blinding the hell out of you in your rear view and side mirrors. I currently have a non-blue tinted broadway mirror. Would the blue-tint help me out a lot? What about the side mirrors? Anyone know of something maybe you can apply to the mirrors to get rid of those bright lights?

I know there are some macgyvers out there who have rigged up something to fix this.

You can fight back, put hid's in the backup lights with a switch. SErously though, regular windows tint is fine over the mirror glass itself.

Lmao.

So just buy a small sheet of some low percentage tint and put it on the mirrors? Hmm, I may try this out, but it seems like it would make visibility pretty bad.

Do What I do, at a stop light use your power mirrors to throw it back in their face.

well easy fix would be adjust your mirrors to not hit you in the face

on mine i gotta lean alittle to right to see right side and left for left side and for the rear view mirror i simply sit up straight to see clear out the back.

i wouldnt tint the mirrors because that makes it harder to see stuff at night. common sense...

Haha, well I just now got power mirrors, and they are spoon knock-offs with adjustment issues at the moment...So I would have to fix that before I could use it as reflection beam haha.

In response to adjusting them a little off..I would rather have my mirrors where I need them when I need them. If I needed to look at one of them at a split second, I would want them to be there..not a little to the side.
