Does anyone have a solution for adding a convex mirror to the side mirrors? I'm looking for something bigger than the small half-dollar-coin sized stick on ones. My Nissan Titan had the tow mirrors with a conventional mirror on top and convex on bottom, which wiped out nearly all blind spots. I'd like something like this on my runner. I'm lazy, I don't like turning my head for lane changes...

Having had a Landcruiser 60 with the "Aussie" convex mirrors, I knew I'd have to get rid of the idiot flat mirror, and the low-power convex on the passenger side of the 4Runner.
I found a full size, cheap, almost a similar shape convex mirror on Amazon with an easy web search. Plopped it on with RTV, right on top of, and completely covers the original mirror. I can see the rear tire on both sides, and f***kholes with too-bright headlights behind me are not very annoying anymore. Ever.
Mirror motors still work fine also. After about an hour or two of driving, you learn to re-judge distances in the new, wider mirrors.

I had them on an old civic back in the day. They def do take some getting used to! Always felt like the passenger side perspective was always off. I guess cause the whole "objects in mirror closer" thing. I kinda notice that with my added circle on the passenger too, but it helps me look twice when I spot a glimmer of color or light.
