Cliff, had one of them, and I just ordered mine.

www.lightinsight.com

Helps you see the intersection light or any signs over head above your line of sight in a MINI.

Hope you find it helpful too.

Be interested if you really need it in this area, doesn't seem to be an issue in IL, but I do notice the problem when traveling out of state where the light its at the line instead of across the intersection.

I have a windshield header and that limits my line of sight.

That's funny you bring this up. My brother who for the first time drove my MINI today had trouble seeing an overhead stoplight. Normally in Milwaukee, there is usually a line-of-sight stoplight, but not always. I know in other cities, this isn't the case. Good find. Be sure to post your review of it after you get it.

You just raise it until the light changes...

I had one, but forgot to take it off my old car!

Guess I'll just have to get another. At least they're cheap...

Looking at the light in the glare is bright.

My Light in Sight works great, went to a Cubs game today, Cubs best the Southside Soxs. The LIS worked great in the city really helped me see the lights better when 1st in line without leaning forward on the dash.

sounds like the benefits out weigh the short comings by a good margin.

I got mine out in Tennesse during the MTTS tour.. What a difference it makes when you've got racing seats that don't adjust for 'higher' vision...
