Truck-Lite 97688 8.5-Inch Round Convex Hood Mount Mirror Kit (Stainless Steel Housing, Universal Driver & Passenger Side Pair, Straight & Curved Arms)

Eliminate dangerous frontend blind spots and expand your defensive highway sightlines with the commercial safety engineering of the Truck-Lite 97688 8.5-Inch Round Convex Hood Mount Mirror Assembly Kit. Specifically developed as a complete crossview visibility upgrade for conventional class 7 and class 8 heavy-duty semi-trucks, vocational dumps, and delivery vehicles, this complete driver and passenger-side kit delivers an ultra-wide panoramic field of view. By keeping your operator’s eyes focused on flanking front quarters, this blind spot solution ensures your rig remains fully compliant with mandatory commercial vehicle FMVSS 111 safety mandates.

Don't settle for plastic imitation housings that crack under extreme road stress or warp under intense environmental exposure. The 97688 features a premium pair of heavy-gauge stainless steel round mirror heads with a sleek black protective backing. Designed to survive punishing road gravel impacts, relentless chassis vibrations, salty coastal environments, and corrosive winter chemical de-icers, this structural framework preserves its premium structural integrity for years of heavy-duty fleet service.

This all-in-one system includes everything required for complete vehicle transformation. The kit is packaged as an interchangeable 1-pair driver and passenger system and includes both heavy-duty straight and curved arm bracket mounts. This dual-style arm selection allows maintenance technicians to configure the perfect geometric angle to clear aerodynamic hoods, fender lines, and body panels while centering the field of view cleanly.

The optical engineering centers around high-clarity 8.5-inch round curved convex panoramic glass lenses. These premium mirrors map immediate obstacles and fast-moving traffic in adjacent lanes that normal flat door mirrors miss entirely. The assembly is built with a universal 1/4-inch (0.25 in. connector diameter) mounting layout secured by premium nickel-plated brass compression nuts. This stable pivot connection enables precision angle customization while permanently dampening engine and chassis vibrations to keep your view rock-steady on the highway.
