can't see traffic lights?

There is a really cool product made for people like me who find that in order to see traffic lights displayed up high in the middle of intersections, you have to lean way forward and break your neck.Go to :

www.lightinsight.com

it's a "fresnel" lens that applies with water (so it can easily transfered in case of a pesky windscreen replacement).It bends the image slightly upward so that traffic lights can be seen with out the usual lean forward or look out the window.It really does take almost 4 weeks to recieve, but in my opinion is well worth the wait.

Had mine over 2 years. There's a number of us here that use them.
Good post though as many new members may not be aware of the product.

Very handy those times you need it.

Sounds like a great idea to me. I hate having to lean forward to see traffic lights. I'll be ordering one soon.

Thanks for the information!!

Mike

One of the great things about living in France is the fact that they have the regular lights and they have the "mini lights" which are installed at eye level of people sitting in cars......

I ordered my www.lightinsight.com the same day I picked up my car and I love it. The only down side is that you also get to enjoy the sun in your eyes a bit more in the morning and late afternoon than you otherwise would. It is a two edged sword but well worth it.
