ABSTRACT:
A lighted vanity mirror module for an automobile sun visor comprises a housing (35) including a base (40), a bezel (45) covering the base and supporting a mirror (20), and electric lamps (25) supplied with electric current through circuitry (55) embedded within the base. A hinged cover (30) is unlatched and the lamps energized by actuation of a single, combined latch and on-off switch (60). Interfitting lamp compartments (135) and (150) minimize light leakage into the interior of the housing, align the bezel with the base and provide fastening of the bezel to the base. A light dimming control (65) is also provided.
