When you looked through this prism, it would reflect an image of the traffic light hanging high overhead so that you could see when the light changed to green. This accessory was used mainly when the car had an accessory outside sun visor installed. The metal sun visor stuck out so far that the driver couldn't see the traffic light hanging high overhead unless he ducked down or tipped his head sideways. $\:D$ $\:D$ _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"
