Default What's the product called that enhances visibility at a traffic light?

I've done a search and haven't been able to locate the name of the product that makes it easier to see a traffic light that is being blocked by our winshield frame. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Seems to me that a reflective (mirrored) hemisphere attached to the dash board would allow you to see both traffic lights and speed patrol aircraft.

The link above is correct. I have one of these and find it handy. The magnification is a bit much, making the light hard to see (small) in certain lighting conditions but beats the hell out of craning your neck to see the light if you're first in line.

Of course, having the top down helps, too... 8^)

Us taller folk look over the frame, not under it

For enhancing visibility at a traffic light I suggest top down and Ashley Judd in the passenger seat.

If Ashley were in the passenger seat, then the driver (male probably) would not care about seeing the light.

Kenl- I think Johna was thinking more about his visibility at the light.
