With the stock mirrors, I have no blind spots.

I adjusted the i/s mirror to point to the right, so I can't see any part of myself (a good idea for me under any circumstances). This way, it's pointed to the right rear and picks up just when the other vehicle is leaving the o/s mirror view.

Note that you should not be able to see any part of your car if your o/s mirrors are adjusted properly. If you need to see your car as a "reference," you need an improved sense of its size.

I like to adjust mirrors at stoplights while in the middle lane of a traffic jam; they are easy to find in NJ.

(Personally, I stay away from mirrors and strong overhead lights whenever possible. No, not a vampire...just getting old.)
