Sheboygan, WI -- Signal® mirrors, made by Muth Mirror Systems, LLC of Sheboygan, WI are an important safety feature for vehicles that are used for towing.  Items being towed like a boat, trailer or camper naturally increase the blind spot of the driver and "hide" the tail lamps of the vehicle.  Additionally, the auxiliary lights of the towed item can be rather low and not easily seen by other drivers.  The attention-getting red chevron of Signal® mirrors appears in the side mirror and thus at the eye level of surrounding drivers.

When a turn signal is activated a flashing chevron appears in the corresponding mirror to alert drivers in the "blind spots" around and behind the vehicle.  The LED lamps of Signal® mirrors also light up faster than conventional tail lights, resulting in an extra 17 feet of reaction distance for a vehicle traveling at 65 m.p.h.

Signal® mirrors are available as retrofit kits for over 70 specific vehicles including most major makes of minivans, light duty trucks and SUVs.  Muth worked with Velvac and recently introduced retrofit mirror kits for super duty vehicles as well including Ford F250 to F750 trucks, the Ford Econoline van, GMC Savana van, and Chevrolet G3500/Express van.  These vehicles use a Velvac Model 2020 mirror which is specifically designed as a towing mirror.

For vehicles that a specific Signal Mirror® kit is not yet available there are Wide Angle Signal® Mirrors which fit on virtually any vehicle by being adhered to the side mirrors.  The inclusion of the MultiFunction or Brake Module adds a variety of signals to the system.

Signal® mirrors help a driver display their intentions and get noticed in cluttered traffic that is increasingly being filled by larger vehicles.  But for vehicles that are used frequently for towing Signal® mirrors can be critical to safety.
