Any recommendations for blind spot mirrors on driver and passenger door mirrors? Some stick on the mirror, others attach below the mirror to the housing. Coming from a compact car, I'd like a little more visibility on my 2024 Sport.

I use these little convex rectangular mirrors on my 2004. Once you get used to them, they're great. Less than $10 at your local auto parts store or giant online vendor.

I use these without the swivel base they come with...

Do you have them in towards the window or out? If out, can you still see the warning lights on the mirror?

I just bought this set at my local stealership. They work fine and I use them as main blind spot mirrors over the larger ones when driving, even at speeds above 80 mph. The larger factory mirror is only used when final backing into spots, low speed stuff.

My old 2016 SR had small blind sport mirrors and you can barely see the ones I had on my 2005 X-Runner back in the day and yes they worked just fine above 120 mph on Road America and Black Hawk Farms race tracks...

I ordered some on Ali express. Blue wide angle bsm mirrors. They come with turn signals but my sport don’t have turn signals. Trying to figure if it’s possible to wire them in.

I ended up getting 2" round ones on a swivel base. I have them sitting just below the warning lights on the oem mirrors. I thought they'd be a little small, hard to see, especially on the passenger mirror, but they work just fine. Glad I have them.

I am absolutely hooked on the safety and convenience of blind spot mirrors. I’ve had them on my 1982 pickup, 1988 pickup, 2005.5, 2019 and my new 2024 Tacoma.

The mirrors on the 2024 Tacoma are fairly large so I went with 4” x 5 1/2” blind spot mirrors from Grand General.

I also really enjoy the safety factor of the new blind symbols on the outside edges of the mirrors that illuminate when another vehicle is in your blind spot.

I initially installed 3” round blind spot mirrors but removed them after two days because I found them to be too small.

I found these on Amazon for around $11 each.

you can angle the side mirrors so you dont have a blind spot. I do this on every one of my cars I've ever had. Adjust the side mirrors just past the side of the truck (so you can't see the truck anymore). When a car passes you and it leaves your mirror, you'll see it over your shoulder so there's no more blind spot.

I did that and still have them adjusted that way. But it is still quicker for me to look in my little round add-on's to determine whether anyone's there.
