ABSTRACT:
A side mounted rear view mirror assembly for a motor vehicle is provided with a small air deflector integral therewith disposed upstream of and parallel to a forwardly convex mirror housing of the assembly, the deflector being spaced therefrom a sufficient distance to cause the air stream to be smoothly channelled past the lateral edges of the mirror housing. The "see through" open portion of the mirror assembly between the deflector and the mirror housing is provided with an amber light reflecting side marker surface on the front of the mirror housing and a low intensity light disposed on the rear side of the air deflector and shining light onto the light reflecting surface of the mirror housing to become a side marker to indicate the side of the vehicle. The rear side of the mirror housing is provided with a conventional image reflecting surface to reflect a rear side view to the operator.
