Has anyone bought and used the BettaView towing mirrors from Ebay? I want to replace my Mazda BT50 mirrors with something like the Clearview towing mirrors but at $745 they're a bit expensive. The BettaView mirrors for my BT50 are $245, a bit of a difference! If you have bought/used the BettaView mir...
