IMHO Those bullet mirror have to be about the biggest aboninmation to
ever be perpetrated on the public by after market parts makers. They can
not be adjusted and they look like crap. Do not know what they cost but I
got a set of Baby Toranados from Slep Boys for about $20 ea. They are
great and have a blue tint that kills most glare. Something really
important when driving at night with Subdivision behind you.

remember my opinion is my own and I may be welcome to it and I plan to
keep my mouth open to be sure and share it.
