Traffic Light Refraction Thingy

At one of the previous meets, I saw in Goldenchild's car that he has this stick-on refraction thing which is applied on the upper edge of the windshield that helps the driver see the traffic light change better. Where can I get this?

Thanks...

It works in other cars too. I moved mine from my MINI to my new Lexus IS and it works wonders. With the windsheild at such a sharp angle to the world.

MDSBrain, I see your sig states that you are in search of a new Mini and not a new MINI? Is this a typo?

hijack - why does it matter what # pulley install you were? It's like saying you were # 4 in your class (of six students which you don't say)
