Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered one. Hope it works.

Peace,

I may get one too! I may be only 5'1", but even I have to occasionally tilt my head to check the light--i like the retro-look of the prism, but wanted to keep the mods to under-stated and this seems like what I need.

 

It does work very well, but so do the prisms. It comes down to personal preference.

I prefer the light in sight because it is flat against the windshield, can be mounted high up on the windshield, and is pretty much clear (i.e. out of sight).

If I were to get a prism, I would get the dash mounted one over the windshield mounted one. By looking at the pic of the windshield mounted prism, I can tell it would annoy me to the point where I would remove it.

 

? does the LightInSight intensiafy the sun? & what about using the sun visor.

 

The lightnsight looks good, where are you mounting it?
I would put it close to the center top, but there are those damn black dots stenciled on the glass. What are those for anyway, I find them annoying.

 

They are there to annoy you, per Chevrolet marketing bulletin #469H-14222.

 

They are there to help block the sun since the sunvisors (as useless as they are) don't cover the top middle of the windshield.

 

The sun looks like a bright dot with some halos (it is a Fresnel lens). Not too bad or annoying. The sun visor will block the Light-in-Sight if you put it at the top of the windshield.

BTW, I hardly ever use the visor. I'm 6' tall and look through the upper part of the windshield anyway. If I put the visor down, I can barely see anything more than the road - no distance.

 

Mine is centered in front of the driver at the top edge of the windshield.

 

My Problem exactly. 6' tall, long torso, short legs...
I love the HHR, and I am considering getting one, the viewpoint is the only thing that is slowing me down. I sat in a new xB, could see better in it.
