For me this is one of the great parts of driving my HHR panel it feels like my chopped 37 Chevy pickup

 

Most of the lights back then were on the side,and lower

 

Weren't the stop lights on polls on the corner? I wasn't alive back then but that's what they usually showed in the movies.

 

Traffic Light Prism link

 

There's also this, been talked about before http://www.lightinsight.com/

 

I have the "light in sight" in my HHR.

That or the prism are great for this problem.

 

I also have the Light in Sight. One of the best mods for the HHR.

 

That prism thing everyone is talking about here. They go way back. Some states like Indiana in the rural areas (small towns) hung the traffic lights over the intersection. Small towns could get away with one light assembly instead of having to install four at each corner.

 

I have more of a problem with the mirror when looking to the right at 4-ways.

 

I am a short guy and noticed the low windshield as soon as I got into an HHR. I just looked at the link for the lineinsight and I am going to order one of those, thanks JimZ HHR.
