Modern cars – it is the object of constant improvements. For their technical characteristics influence the opening and in microelectronics, physics of solids and even far from the automotive industry psychology and human physiology.
For example, on side view mirrors lately applied Glare coating, and they are equipped with heating and automatic adjustment of their position. Expected to introduce in manufacture of rearview video systems.
All of this significantly increases safety and comfort when using the vehicle.
Heated mirrors. Its purpose
The Purpose of supplying heat certainly is clear to all motorists. The removal of moisture, with the result that the reflecting surface remains clean and dry in the rain or in the fog, in the snow during a snowstorm – it all provides heating of the mirrors.
This system will be able to melt the ice crust on the mirror, covered with frost and ice in the Parking lot. All this is very important for residents of Central Russia, most of Ukraine and Belarus, where weather conditions are conducive to frost and dampness.
Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that heated mirrors – this is a means of ensuring safety. For good visibility reduces the time needed for accurate review and decision-making in a complex traffic situation.
Remember how you had to lower the side glass to wipe the mirror during movement. This created not only inconvenience, but danger to life. And what was the "gymnastic" exercises to cleanse the mirrors of ice on a frosty morning.
Heated mirrors universal saves us from problems with a bad review. Just press the button and while the machine is warming up, the mirror will come down the hoar-frost and frost. This happens due to the electric current from the onboard system, which will glow mirror to 50°C. Ice melts when exposed to heat, and the moisture will immediately evaporate.
How to make yourself heated mirrors
But this automatograph mirrors appeared in use rather recently, therefore many car owners earlier left without a comfortable innovations. It does not matter. Heated mirrors can do it yourself.
You'll need 12-volt light bulb from those that insert in the rear lights domestic car brands. Its heat will be sufficient to maintain the purity of the review.
In the disassembled mirror must be insulated with heat-resistant plastic material casing. It may be cardboard and the PCB, and hair care products. Then a light bulb arranged inside so that it does not touch the glass, otherwise it will lead to cracks and deterioration of the reflecting layer. At the bottom of the casing making a hole for the wiring and bring it into the cabin through the door. If it is not possible to install a light socket, the wires can be soldered to the contacts in the base. Don't forget about insulation!
You will find that your improved mirror thaws in just 3 minutes. However, it is not recommended to keep the bulb constantly turned on, because that can start to melt the plastic parts. But in this case you can use single-strand lamp (21 and 5 watts). Here you can use one thread to break the ice, and another – to maintain the necessary heat.
A Safe way!
