At night this situation is even worse as the trucks headlights shine level with small car windows just right into the side mirrors and through the rear window into the rear view mirror. Without mirror dimming it is hell, rear views have auto or manual dimming but many cars don’t have any for side mirrors. And headlights nowadays are bright white LEDs and coincidentally huge on trucks because of course. Still don’t stop their drivers hitting pedestrians and stuff apparently either lol
I sometimes try to adjust my side mirror to reflect back at them. I’m positive I fail every time because the limited range of the mirror motors, but it keeps me from getting angrier at least.
When I bought my Prelude, it had bluish white LEDs. I swapped them out for halogens because I'm not a psychopath.
It's got very dark tint on all the glass except the front. That makes the bright lights one million times more tolerable. Idk if the tint is legal, but I've driven by dozens of cops in the thing and have never been stopped so I guess it is lol
