I have attached photos that I took while the H3 was in the garage to show what can be seen with the new rear view lens. I took the photo of the inside rear view mirror from the driver's seat so the image is reversed. This view is what the driver sees looking forward without cranking the neck around, which appeals to me. The rear seat is folded down on driver's side, so the lower half of the rear window is not covered as it would be with the seat up, allowing an undistorted view through that part. We will drive it that way unless we have passengers.

The shadow from the roof on the driveway is about 1/2 way to the sidewalk which indicates that a child or dog would be visible. Without the lens, only the upper half of the neighbor's wall is visible as you can see in the photos.

We are quite satisfied that we won't need a back-up camera and think the lens is the ideal solution. It appeals to my frugal nature and as I mentioned, I don't like the idea of hacking into the electrical system.

Best regards, Happy Jack (driving again with two new eyes)
