If you have to move you have a blind spot.

It was $25 a pair for mine. One of mine has a crack (somebody got too close to my parked car. The mirror folded forward it actually knocked the outer plastic off but also started a hairline crack in the mirror that over a couple months worked across).

So: I'll be getting another set. Since the cheap copies need a tweak I will show in more detail what's needed.

The main trade off is the lens is plastic vs. glass so it's not quite as sharp as OE but having 5-8x the view is very much worth it.
