Four-eyes: my poor man's rear view camera

Here's my poor man's rear view camera, a $20 fresnel lens from rearlens.com. Besides avoiding wandering kids, I helps me parallel parking. With my Light-in-sight fresnel in front, my car does look a little dorky. Thus, "four-eyes".

Can you post a pic of the light-in-sight too? It turns out my BMW mechanic is the guy who makes them. I've never heard of it before.

Just have a picture from the outside to the right of my radar detector. There are also pictures of the LightInSight posted in other threads. Definitely makes seeing traffic lights easier.

That's pretty sly. Thanks for the pic. I'll have to pick one up the next time I'm getting my 318is worked on (unless I break down and order the MINI first).
