ABSTRACT:
A rearview mirror has a housing having recesses with supporting flaps, and a courtesy light fixture for a driver and for a passenger located within a respective one of the recesses. Each of the courtesy light fixtures has a lamp, and two lamp holder-electrical connectors supporting and providing electrical connection to the lamp. Each of the lamp holder-electrical connectors is formed by an elastic electrical conducting metal strip having a substantially inverted U-shape so that it can be formed and connected to the electrical wire by a progressive die, and having a first vertical portion, a second horizontal upper portion, and a third vertical portion located one after the other. The first and third vertical portions extend parallel to one another, and the first vertical portion is provided with a device for connecting an electrical wire, formed substantially by a pair of V-shaped flaps which extend outside a space defined between the vertical portions for receiving the lamp. The upper horizontal portion extends transversely relative to the vertical portions and has a part of a fixing device to be fitted to the lamp holder-electrical connector through the supporting flaps of the housing, with another part of the fixing device defined by the supporting flaps.
