The magnification factor in a side mirror is not an issue, you do not need to see the car on your side in great detail, you just need to see a movement, shadow, a car body, which should prevent you from doing something irresponsible. So, it has not affected the ability to see to the side of the car in any way, if anything, it enhanced it!

As for the orange reflector, I am already on the lookout for a set of EU-spec xenons, should have them here by xmas. Will report with pictures.
