I put a C5 mirror on my C4, my 85 mirror had no lights and the C5 mirror does and it was $25 on eBay used,,, all you do is file the mount foot on the C5 mirror to fit the C4,,,

I noticed that too. I can't recall if I bought the C5 one or they changed the website. I'd call them.

A radar detector is no substitute for situational awareness.

Use your eyes, when I see a cop w/ laser it comes down to reaction time.

Do I hit my brakes first or does he pull the trigger first? Who has the better reaction?

Many times my v1 tells me I do. I hit the brakes an instant before it screams laser alert.

As for him hiding on an off ramp? You need to be aware of those too and crane your neck to see back if one is sitti g there and hit the brakes
