ive got a visor on the 54 chevy i bought . im probably gonna need a traffic light finder where and how can i mount one that is as inconspicuous as possible , what are the different types and the best to use with the visor ? thanks
Mike, without seeing pictures of one installed I have no idea.....just have to get one and "move it around" till you find that sweet spot. You may want to do a search on ebay and be sure to post for one in the parts wanted forum.

Mike, FWIW, here are a couple photos of the OE accessory Guide traffic light viewer in my '53 Bel Air. Mounting in a truck will be somewhat different, I expect, but with the cars, the mount uses an existing windshield trim screw. That scheme mounts the base as close to the windshield as possible. It is mounted roughly centered on the steering wheel. Hope that gives some ideas for your mounting.
NOS Guide accessory units pop up on eBay periodically. I prefer the type in my Bel Air that has a Fresnel lens, which picks up the illumination from the traffic light quite well. Having said that, I don't have experience using one with a visor.
These are available at most if not all the usual suppliers we all use.

I have 2 of the original ones from Fulton new in the box. In very good condition they will run you $200 to $300 if you can find them. The aftermarket ones are quite affordable. I don't know why I bought 2. I guess I was excited to find it and just jumped on it. They are stainless steel and whatever they called plastic in those days.
