This round spotter mirror attaches to your factory side-view mirror to reduce blind spots when you drive. You can rotate the convex lens in the housing to find your ideal viewing angle. Quick and easy peel-and-stick installation.

Specs:
Blind spot mirrors may be placed anywhere you wish, but they are typically located on the bottom outside corner of a vehicle's side-view mirror. The desired placement varies from one person to the next.
You can try out different placements by putting a piece of folded tape on the back of the blind spot mirror and sticking it onto your side-view mirror where you think you might want it. Then sit in your car or truck and check to see if the mirror is reflecting the area you'd like to see. Keep adjusting the placement until it suits your needs.
When you have the mirror where you want it, peel off the backing and stick it on permanently.

Hey there, haulers. Today we're going to be taking a look at K-source's convex blind spot mirrors. These are available in either a two or three inch diameter, and they can be purchased as either a set of one or a set of two, so you can have one for each side. Before we show off our mirrors, we're going to go ahead and get a baseline with our truck here that has factory blind spot mirrors on them. It's got that lower convex mirror there, that's going to be similar to the blind spot convex mirrors that we're going to be adding to our older truck over there. So here I can clearly be seen in our factory mirror, both the straight one on top as well as our blind spot down on bottom that has the convex mirror.
But as I take a step towards the outside, I'm no longer visible in our regular mirror, but I can still be seen in our lower blind spot mirror due to that convex shape.So now that you've seen what our factory mirrors look like, we're going to go ahead and install one of our blind spot mirrors on our older truck. And you're going to be able to compare to see that with these little mirrors you're going to get the same functionality. So here you can see our smaller truck that didn't have anything but its factory mirror on it. We went ahead and added our blind spot mirror, which is adjustable, fully 360. Now, obviously it's not as large as the factory one on our other truck, but as I take a step to the outside, you're still going to get those benefits.
I can't be seen in the factory mirror, but I still can be seen in the blind spot mirror that we just added. I also really like it for backing up if I've got to get in any tight spots where I really need to get the trailer angled really hard. Because in our factory mirror, I lose sight of the back of my trailer, but I can still see it in the blind spot mirror here.So as you can see here, I was able to easily and confidently get my trailer parked into a nice tight spot here right next to our truck. And you really couldn't have gotten any closer than this without a nice mirror to help you guide yourself in. I've also found them quite useful when hauling a 30 or 40 foot camper.
It's great for your RVs as well. They're extremely long to increase your viewing angle there. And I also find it great for your regular vehicles that just have some blind spots that really bother you. You can throw those in and eliminate those blind spots. Adding a blind spot mirror to your vehicle is going to help increase your visibility.
And it's particularly useful when you're hauling any equipment behind you, because when you go to use your regular mirror, as you make some turns, your trailer can be blocking your view beside you, maybe you're trying to change lanes and your trailer's blocking that view.With our convex mirror here, we get a wider viewing angle due to the convex shape, which allows us to see much more around us. So we can be aware of our surroundings whenever we need to maneuver or change lanes. And one of the things I like about this one compared to most of the ones you probably saw in your parents' cars growing up, we're the ones that just stick on there, well this one is a fully adjustable 360 degrees. So you can ensure that you're going to be able to see what you need to see. And it's really nice if you have some buddies that go with you, or anybody else that is maybe going to take over the driver's seat, you're going on a long trip, you're switching back and forth, you can easily adjust for one person and then the next person can adjust for them so they can have the best viewing angles. So you can eliminate any blind spots and reach your destination safely.Now, one thing to keep in mind with the convex mirror, it gives you a much wider viewing angle, but objects in the mirror can be closer than they appear. Now, before you pull off the backing and stick it onto your mirror, I highly recommend you just hold it up there. Maybe get an assistant to help hold it up in a place while you sit at your normal sitting angle in your vehicle, so you can find the best angle. Because you can rotate them and put them in all the different ways that works best for you. The installation couldn't be any simpler. It has an adhesive pad here on the back that comes included with it. You'll simply want to remove the adhesive backing and then stick it in place on your mirror. I highly recommend that you clean your mirror to ensure that you get good adhesion to it. And that completes our look at K source's convex blind spot mirrors.

Had to replace this one and match with the original I bought almost 5 years ago at a U-Haul store. I was so relieved that etrailer had the exact same one even when I couldn't remember the name of the manufacturer! Great photo/video content helped me made sure I got the right one. Thanks y'all!
Bought one for each side .. one fell off after a few weeks, not much sticky material .. assume it was defective, but had to remove the other side to match, would not buy another of this item .. clean the mirror glass before application if you buy .. this may be a single defective item, no issues with past purchases
Good concept .. but due to this happening will use another style if needed in future
Very helpful on the phone, quick shipping and the product was easy to install. The brake controller works great. Thanks
I have purchased this rear-view mirror for a different purpose other it is designed for, more specifically for a prototype of a light modifier I am designing for my photo studio. I was impressed by the quality of the mirror and the smoothness of its surface. It is an excellent value for the money. The shipping was very fast. Highly recommend etrailer.com!
These mirrors stick on tightly and stay on. They give great additional view of vehicles otherwise in the blind spot. Be sure to place them such that they don't hit the window if the mirrors are folded back.
I appreciate the level of knowledge and due care of the rep from etrailer. This particular product could be more concave but maybe that would make the vehicles appear even further than they do appear.
Oveall its nice to deal with a company that gives a crap about their level of service given.
I searched for "non-adjusting" blind spot mirrors to replace a set of wobbly adjustable ones I had bought. These are just perfect for me. Glad I found these. The ordering process was easy, shipping was fast, and I am a very pleased customer.
Worked great for what I needed it for.
I mostly want to thank etrailer for helping me with a mistake I made on the order. They made it easy for me to correct my mistaken order and get the correct size mirrors. The K-Source mirrors are the best I have found; the way they adjust is so much more functional than every other blind spot mirror I have tried - and I have tried a lot of them.
Just exactly what I wanted
Useful on a caged tractor application. Easy to keep track of pulled implements. Replaced the 1 inch square adhesive tab with a full size 2 inch 3M double stick pad. No wobble and clear view to the rear.
The product I had been looking for and a sales and delivery process that was easy! Thank you!
These stick on mirrors are great very useful and still look like brand new for a year old.. They adjust perfectly for that blind spot.
The mirrors appear to be of good quality and were definitely reasonably priced compared to others on the internet. I chose the economy shipping and the order still arrived in just a few days. I was pleased with my experience.
Big improvement over the 3 inch round o nes.
Just what I needed at a great price! Received in just 4 business days.
Great product!
This mirror size works very well with truck side mirrors. It provides full visibility and eliminates blind spots! I strongly recommend it.
The mirrors are enabling me to see the blind spot. Thanks to Cassondria for finding them for me.
Great fast service! I'll be back for more purchases.
A 4Star only because I haven’t had an opportunity to use them yet. They should be just fine though.
High quality and adjustable. Many thanks for a good product
Perfect, as advertised, super price
Well made worked great
The K-Source 3" Round Blind Spot Adjustable Convex Mirrors add a high degree of comforting safety for the driver while in traffic.
I stuck them in the lower outside corner of both outside rearview mirrors on my Toyota Sequoia. I then simply pushed to adjust them to where I can see the entire other car in the adjacent traffic lane (on either side of my car) all the way up to where the other car's front bumper is next to my front door!
Now, THAT's a convex mirror that does the job well!
Although I always look before changing lanes (duh!), I know exactly what I am going to see in advance. This makes driving in traffic MUCH safer for everyone and easier on the nerves.
An added benefit -- convex mirrors make backing into a parking space a breeze. You can see the painted stripes of the parking space on the bottom of both convex mirrors. Do the higher math and create the same space between each stripe and your vehicle, put'er in reverse and simply stop before kissing the concrete wall! What could be easier? Well, going in straight would be easier, but then you have the hazard of backing out into the parking lot kamikazes. Go ahead, learn a new skill set, back in next time with confidence using your new convex mirrors.
I have used convex mirrors for many years and the K-Source Mirrors are perfect...simply peal and stick and watch your visual awareness on the road improve dramatically. You will kick yourself for not having used them before!
