I have a celica hatchback and I find it hard to change lanes at night on the freeways. I hate it when it rains at night, I can barely see anything with the stock mirrors. Does anyone have the same problem or is it just me? I plan on replacing the stock mirror inside of my celica to prevent future accidents ....

OPPS sorry about the caps........

what u can do is get a bigger rear view mirror...the side mirrors are fine!! the bigger rear-view will eliminate the blind spot i think...i dont have one so i can't really say sh*t from experience.

A trick with the blind spot is to lean forward in the seat when looking in your side mirror and it lets you see the blind spot. I do that or I just take a split second look over my shoulders to see if there are any cars beside me. I hate it when cars match my speed on the expressway and then stay in my blind spot. People always do that here in Boston.

I set my side mirrors to my blind spots that way there is no problem with changing lanes. I also have a broadway mirror and that thing is huge and helps out alot.

I'm sure people feel the same way you do when you hit your brights and they got 4 lights coming at them instead of 2!

Unless you got fog lights, then there are 6 lights coming at them.
And if you have JDM headlights, then you got the bulbs on the side of the H4 bulb, so that could make 8 lights.
Then if you put Halo Eyes on the JDMs you could have 10 lights blinding the crap out of someone.
Maybe that's why there are so many alien sightings!?!
