    Question Replace Mirror signal lense

    I was sitting at a light in our little town when a Horizon HVAC truck pulled up next to me. when the light changed he veered right before making his left turn, the shape of the intersection makes a lot of people do that. Before i could even move he snagged my driver side mirror and yanked it...
