Testing out replacing my side mirrors with cameras. So far it's great, easier too see at night throught my tinted front windows and in rain (unless the camera gets too wet,will eventually enclose it.)
I'll put 1 on the other side too, to see if it increases efficiency.(as I hear side mirrors are lo like 15% of a cars total drag) $40 per side, just a back up camera with screen from amazon.

I would have made it more integrated into the existing mirror mount, but want to have it ez to put the old 1 back if needed.

Oh I should note that the night screen pic is much easier to see in person

I've purchased the camera and monitor, but haven't figured out how I want to mount it, yet. The camera wants to mount to a flat surface, and mirror housings are all curves. I'm not willing to actually remove the mirror until AFTER the testing. ;)

probably smart, but I have extensive experience driving vehicles with little to no mirrors. ;)
