Remove the screws on the triangular mounting plate on the roof and then pull it out. There's a wire going in through the metal rod, unplug that and it comes away.

You have to pop/push the triangular piece off to expose the screws.

Yes. You may need a flat blade screwdriver.

Cool Visor Vanity Lights will not illuminate

Neither light comes on when sliding the mirror cover. There is power all way through the connections. I cannot test the slide switch without removing the fabric and it is glued/fastened so no access. Any suggestions?

Check out the bulb or connections to the bulb before trying to get to the switch.

Default Visor Vanity Mirrors Not lighting

[Yes, the bulbs are good. I checked polarity and tested the bulb in another socket. All good. I pretty certain that it is the switch in the mirror slide. Does anyone know hot to access this?

My passenger sun visor is broken. Where should I go to get a replacement at a reasonable place?
