LivTee Blind Spot Mirror, 2" Round HD Glass Frameless Convex Rear View Mirrors Exterior Accessories with Wide Angle Adjustable Stick for Car SUV and Trucks, Pack of 2

A tiny circle of glass changed how I check my mirrors. After a few weeks with the LivTee blind spot mirrors on my daily driver, I’m convinced that a small, well-placed convex mirror can meaningfully reduce stress during lane changes and tight parking. They’re simple, unobtrusive, and—once you set them up correctly—surprisingly effective.

Design and build quality

The mirrors are 2-inch, round, and frameless, which gives them a clean, low-profile look. The glass is crisp and free of the haze you often see on cheaper acrylic spot mirrors. The piece that makes these stand out is the tiny swivel bracket: instead of sticking the mirror directly to your car’s mirror, you adhere a small base, then snap the mirror onto that base and aim it. That two-piece design is more adjustable than the one-piece style, especially on curved factory mirrors, and it lets you fine-tune coverage for your seating position.

There are trade-offs. The bracket adds a bit of visible “footing” beneath the glass, and purists might prefer the ultra-flat look of stick-on discs with no hardware. But the frameless glass helps it blend in, and once installed, it doesn’t look cheap or toy-like. Importantly, the glass hasn’t shown any tint or odd color shift, and clarity is very good in the central area of the mirror where you’ll focus most.

Installation and adjustment

Install is straightforward:
- Clean the factory mirror thoroughly (glass cleaner plus isopropyl alcohol is best).
- Stick the base where you want it.
- Press the mirror onto the ball joint and adjust.

Plan your placement before you peel the adhesive. On my driver’s mirror, I favored the upper outer corner for highway use; on the passenger side, I placed it at the lower outer corner to help with parallel parking and curb view. The 360-degree joint lets you aim it to capture the blind zone in the next lane, or tilt it down for parking guidance.

A few practical notes:
- Once the base is stuck on, repositioning means starting over with new adhesive. Dry-fit and visualize your field of view first.
- Press firmly for 30 seconds and avoid power-washing the edges for a day so the adhesive cures fully.
- If your factory mirror is small, the 2-inch disc can feel large. Measure first; on very compact mirrors you may prefer a smaller or rectangular spot mirror.

On-road performance

On a multi-lane highway, the convex view does exactly what it should: it fills in the slice of space where a car lingering in the adjacent lane would otherwise disappear. With the mirror aimed correctly, vehicles appear as soon as they enter that blind area and remain visible as they pass. It doesn’t replace a shoulder check, but it removes the guesswork that causes the most hesitation during lane changes.

Convex glass always shrinks objects, so there’s a short adjustment period. The center of the mirror is sharp; the periphery shows mild distortion, as expected with this geometry. I found that after a day or two I was glancing at the spot mirror mainly to answer a binary question—“Is there something there?”—and then confirming distance using the primary mirror. That rhythm quickly becomes intuitive.

Nighttime use is fine. Headlights appear smaller but still unmistakable, and glare hasn’t been worse than the main mirror. In rain, the frameless design sheds water reasonably well; a quick wipe clears droplets if you’re parked.

Parking and low-speed maneuvers

These mirrors are equally helpful off the highway. Tilting the passenger-side mirror down slightly lets you track the curb to avoid rash on alloy wheels. Backing into a space, I can keep both the painted line and encroaching bumpers in view without cranking my head as far. If you frequently parallel park, consider aiming the passenger mirror a touch lower than the driver’s; the ball joint makes that easy.

Durability and maintenance

The adhesive base has held firm through heat, cold mornings, and several car washes. The joint hasn’t loosened or sagged. Because the glass is real glass—not plastic—it wipes clean without micro-scratching, and it hasn’t shown fogging or rainbowing.

Long-term, the only maintenance I anticipate is occasional cleanup around the bracket’s edge where grit can settle. If you ever need to remove the mirrors, warming the adhesive with a hair dryer and using dental floss to saw through the foam minimizes residue; adhesive remover will take care of what remains.

Drawbacks and trade-offs

No accessory is perfect. A few caveats to consider:
- Two-piece look: The miniature bracket is visible. It’s not ugly, but minimalist it isn’t.
- Semi-permanent placement: You can adjust the aim freely, but you can’t slide the base to a new position without redoing the adhesive. Plan your location carefully.
- Size and shape: The 2-inch round lens is a good generalist, yet on some compact mirrors it can feel oversized, and on very large truck mirrors a larger rectangular spot mirror might cover more useful area.
- Depth perception: Convex mirrors compress distance; you’ll need a short acclimation period. Use the spot mirror for detection and the main mirror for judging gap.

None of these are deal-breakers for me, but they’re worth weighing against your priorities for aesthetics and fit.

Tips for best results

• Place high and outboard on the driver’s side to prioritize adjacent-lane detection; place low and outboard on the passenger side if you want curb guidance during parking.
• Sit in your normal driving position while aiming. Small adjustments make a big difference in coverage.
• Clean the mirror with alcohol, not just glass cleaner, before sticking the base.
• Give the adhesive a few hours (ideally overnight) before exposing it to heavy rain or high-pressure washing.
• Don’t obsess over perfectly centering the lens; prioritize function. If the outer edge of the lens slightly overlaps the outer edge of your factory mirror, that’s often ideal for maximizing coverage.

Who benefits most

• New drivers who are still calibrating mirror use will appreciate the additional spatial cues.
• Anyone who commutes on multi-lane highways and finds themselves hesitating before lane changes.
• City drivers who frequently parallel park or navigate tight garages.
• Drivers of vehicles without electronic blind-spot monitoring—or those who want a visual complement to sensors.

If your vehicle already has generous convex side mirrors or an excellent camera-based system, the benefits are smaller but still tangible, especially for parking.

Value

For a modest cost, the LivTee mirrors provide a reliable, mechanical layer of visibility that doesn’t depend on sensors or software. The swivel bracket is the right design choice here; it makes fine-tuning easy, which is critical since everyone’s seating position and mirror curvature differ.

Recommendation

I recommend the LivTee blind spot mirrors. They’re well-made, easy to install, and meaningfully improve awareness in the one area traditional mirrors miss most. The adjustable bracket lets you tailor coverage to your needs, the glass is clear, and the adhesive holds up in everyday use. You’ll trade a bit of minimalist aesthetics and accept a short learning curve with convex optics, but the payoff—more confidence during lane changes and better control when parking—is worth it. If you measure your factory mirrors to confirm the 2-inch size fits your layout, these are a simple, effective upgrade I’d put on any vehicle I drive regularly.
