Can't see traffic lights

Hi, I'm new and this is my 1st post.
I love the HHR so much that this is my 3rd new one purchased in less than 2 years.
My only problem is that I am 6'3" and with the seat all the way back I have troubles seeing traffic lights when I am up close. I heard that there is some sort of "prism" that can be attached to the windshield to help see the lights.
Has anyone ever seen these or know where to get them?

Thanks for the plug!

Yup, we've got two styles. Both of them work very nicely.

I have the cheaper one and I'm the same height and which I had known about the one that screws to the dash as it looks like it would be a lot better. Only way I have found to use the suction cup one is to put it way over by the rear view mirror as in the middle of the windshield where it should be to get the best benifet with Mich. lights it ends up right in my line of vision. If you need one get the better one or go without.

No offense, Mike.

Much less obtrusive and works well.

If I stop behind the white line, I generally can see the lights no problem. If I do get sucked under one, I either wait for the other cars to go or start bobbing like a chicken.

Agreed, I have the LightinSight also and can still see the overhead traffic light when practically underneath it. I would highly recommend it.
