These days, there are more car accessories available than ever before. Which can make the decision about what to buy and install quite difficult! Thankfully, we’ve created this comprehensive list of the most popular car accessories. And how they’ll help you optimize your vehicle to fit your personal needs. Check out these most popular car accessories below if you’re interested in increasing your car’s functionality or just making it look really cool!
Blind Spot Mirrors
One of the most popular accessories for your vehicle is a blind spot mirror. These mirrors attach to your side-view mirrors and give you a better view of any traffic that may be next to or behind you. Blind spot mirrors reduce accidents by helping drivers see what’s around them and get out of their blind spots more easily. Allowing them to avoid rear-end collisions. Some models include features like LED lights that indicate when someone is in your blind spot, helping you change lanes with confidence and reducing unnecessary lane changes and thus cutting down on gas mileage costs. Having blind spot mirrors can also protect drivers from angry drivers who might not understand why they were cut off in traffic or why they had to slam on their brakes while driving behind someone’s truck.
Portable Power Bank.
If you’re constantly on-the-go, a portable power bank will come in handy. Mobile phones use more energy than most other devices, and their batteries don’t last nearly as long as they used to. If you want to make sure your phone is always charged (and avoid dying in a pinch). Look for a power bank that can charge two devices at once or has enough juice to recharge your phone multiple times over. Portable chargers make it easy to top off when you need extra juice. And they give you one less reason to forget your charger at home! Not all mobile phones work with every model of power bank. Make sure yours does before purchasing one.
USB Charger.
If you’ve got a smartphone or an MP3 player, a USB charger is an absolute must-have. As long as your ride has some kind of cigarette lighter plug, and you have enough room on your dash to stash one of these chargers. It’s pretty hard to go wrong. Just make sure that you don’t overload your cigarette lighter plug with too many high-amp devices. Try to keep it limited to three things (lighter, phone charger, GPS device). Note: If you’re driving for more than a few hours at a time and can easily get access to a power outlet, bringing along an extra battery pack for your smartphone is another good idea.
Car Tool Set
You should always be prepared with a set of tools in your vehicle. This is particularly important if you live in an area that has harsh winters. Where you may have to deal with frozen door locks or get stuck on impassable roads. It’s also important to have a tool kit handy when driving in foreign countries. Being able to fix minor problems (like changing a flat tire) can save you from big headaches and expensive tow bills. No matter what your specific needs, there’s an auto tool set for you out there. The best tools will be made of durable materials and will contain all of your most-used tools, such as screwdrivers, wrenches and sockets.
Hydraulic Jack
The most common car jack is a hydraulic jack. It’s cheap, portable and easy to use. However they’re most commonly used on front-wheel drive vehicles and hatchbacks. The hydraulic jack uses oil or gas to power a piston that lifts a lever. Which pushes against your vehicle’s frame under your specified floor point (like a crossmember or chassis member). For example, if you have an SUV with a raised suspension kit and you want to change your oil filter. It’s going to be difficult with just one hand.
