Has anyone figured out how to see the intersection lights when you pull up to the stop line. I find myself having to lean down and forward to see. It would be nice to have a smart camera in the car or some simple mirror. any suggestions?

One solution: Buy a Cabrio!

Seriously, I have a Z3 as my spare car (will always play second fiddle to my Mini!

), and it's great having the roof down and being able to just look up and SEE the lights!

In South Australia.

We've got so many different setups, ranging in height from 5ft to maybe 15ft off the ground, and they're sometimes on the far side of the intersection, sometimes on the line, sometimes both! All on poles, mostly on the side of the road but some extend out over the intersection.

In my Mini I've even been in the situation with a truck either side of me I can't see any of the lights!

Get the LightInSight Home Page wide angle fresnel lens that sticks to the top inside of the
windscreen. It works very well for this purpose.
