Poison Ivy Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm about to place an order for a couple of Light in Sight Lenses for both our MINIs and thought I'd ask if anyone else wants/needs a lens for their MINI too and would like to take advantage of the $1.50 discount on orders of 2-10 lenses. Depending on if more than 8 additional lenses are needed, we might be able to get an even better discount on a bulk order. What is Light in Sight? http://www.lightinsight.com/ LightInSight is a clear windshield mounted fresnel lens for assisting drivers in seeing traffic lights that would not be in the driver's normal field of view. Many drivers can be seen at traffic lights, scrunching down, craning their necks to see the light changes above them. LightInSight can help! It is especially helpful for taller drivers, drivers in smaller cars, drivers with mobility problems, (such as a neck or back problems) delivery vans and trucks.

MiniMike Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have one of these and they are a neck saver (a possible life saver as well). MiniMike and TAZ! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmcveay Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 +1 on the utility of this thing. Lona likes it enough that she bought one for her car and for her son's truck. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAB 67 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have one too, and it does what its supposed to do. My only complaint is that it sometimes doesn't stick to the windshield. Any suggestions on how to improve its 'stickiness?' JAB 67 Fairfax, VA 2004 MCS, PW/B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I have one too, and it does what its supposed to do. My only complaint is that it sometimes doesn't stick to the windshield. Any suggestions on how to improve its 'stickiness?'Thoroughly clean the inside of the windshield, as in: use a glass cleaner. Also ensure the LightInSight is completely clean before applying it. A little bit of moisture (water is fine) on the LightInSight before applying it could help too.

RyanMBlue Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 When are you placing the order?

Poison Ivy Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 When are you placing the order? I have a friend who just bought a MINI and might be interested:top: Although the product endorsement is great, there doesn't seem to be a big need of people who need them so I think I'll place the order tomorrow. Fortunately I already need 2 so I'll get the $1.50 discount either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMike Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Also, Make sure the logo is facing outside (makes sense that they'd want to advertise). It will stick on either side but will fall off (eventually) if not installed logo side out. You should be able to feel some ridging as you swipe your finger across the inside. Also if you use a little water (very little) you will get some slight bubbles until you leave your MINI in the sun for a couple of days. After that, you can be assured if won't come off unless you force it off. Thoroughly clean the inside of the windshield, as in: use a glass cleaner. Also ensure the LightInSight is completely clean before applying it. A little bit of moisture (water is fine) on the LightInSight before applying it could help too. MiniMike and TAZ!

maacodale Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I just ordered one for Christy's new Cabrio and picked up a spare for my Clubbie. And yes, they are an important addition to ANY MINI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
