Here is what i have decided after much experimentation..

I put the right side mirror as far out as possible.thats it for that mirror

Then. i move my head to the left while sitting in the drivers seat and adjust the mirror on the left side outward until I can just see the left side of the car in the mirror

Now I put one small square wide angle mirror that I bought at the auto store on the bottom right side of the left hand mirror to show any vehicles close by and and on the left..usually this is a problem when merging into traffic..

i used to have a similar mirror on the right side mirror but that turned out to be dangerous IMO since it led me to believe i had a wider view of objects to the right but that is true only in theory,,.,yes they are seen in the mirror on this side but they are incredibly small because of the wide angle view,,.bottom line is that from the drivers seat you cant see them and that leads you to a false sense of security..

Those are my thoughts...
