Default Cheap n Easy Mod To Save Your Neck

Has anyone ever mentioned this on the Crossfire forum.

LightInSight - Windshield Mounted Traffic Light Lens

I first heard about this little lens on the S2Ki forum. I'm 6' tall and with the top up on my S2000 I had a tough time seeing traffic lights suspended overhead. The car was low slung and my eyes just didn't line up well with the windshield frame. I got really tired of craning my neck to see the lights.

I saw someone else post this solution and ordered two. They actually shipped me four. The thing is great. It pretty much solved the traffic light visibility problem completely. I gave one away to another friend with an S2000. And he loves it too.

Now that I have the Crossfire, I'm noticing the same problem. Not quite as bad as the S2000 but I still can't see overhead lights when I'm first in line at an intersection without bending over and twisting my neck. So, the third lens is on my Crossfire now. If you're on the tall side and have the same problem, give it a try.

You have no idea. I used to do everything I could to avoid being first in line at a traffic light when the top was up. At the stop line, you're maybe 50 ft from a light suspended maybe 20 ft over the intersection. That angle was high enough to put the damned thing just above the windshield header. I was getting honked at all the time. It was a new experience as I've never had that much trouble with vertical sight lines before. In our two SUV's and my wife's sedan, it's not something that ever enters your mind. Sight lines are fine in ordinary cars. But get a tall guy in a low slung car with a short winshield and suddenly we're vertically blind.
