No issues with glare last night. Still trying to git used to the smaller angle of view. I'll try to mount the driver's side today and see how that goes. 
As far as image size goes, the passenger side one is large enough to see with fer my needs. I'm sure the driver's side one will work equally as well.

Nice! thanks man. Id rather spend $20 and get something good then buy a cheap set only to end up buying the more expensive set down the road! My eyes suck at night time and glare is the main killer for me! I'm glad they work good. Thanks again guys!

Trying out mirrors on the edge of my folded mirror to see how that will work.

Hopefully you don't have airbags deploying from the A-pillar. That's a lot of hardware to come flying back at 100 mph.  |

Nope, this old truck only has one air bag and that's in the steering wheel. There isn't even one on the passenger side so my son can ride up front on long drives.

With the driver's mirror folded in, I can easily see along side of my truck and to the left just fine without any issues so far. I was able to back up and see the curb line this afternoon at the school.
I'll have to try a set on the passenger side but I think those mirrors will be too small to see any significant amount of details...but I won't know until I try, right?

I considered this before mounting an interior mirror on the A-pillar trim. On my car, and I suspect most with side curtain airbags, the panel simply pops on and has no seams where the airbag sits; in other words, it looks like the force of the airbag simply pops the panel off and out of the way (down and toward the dash in my car) as the airbag inflates. |

Could you please expound upon how you mounted the passenger side interior mirror? Does it come with the mounting bracket?

It comes with an adjustable plastic angle iron bracket with two sided tape on one facet of the bracket and the punch out holes for locking the sliding adjustment for the mirror arm on the other facet. BAMzipPow just removed the adjustable mounting to mount the arm directlyon the A-pillar.
