ABSTRACT:
A vehicle accessory such as a visor includes a body with a vanity mirror frame and mirror mounted thereto. A pair of opposed covers are slidably coupled to the mirror frame and are coupled together such that movement of one cover between an open and closed position effects the movement of the remaining cover in an opposite direction. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the inwardly facing ends include external illumination sources which abut one another when the covers are closed to provide a point light source for the interior illumination of the vehicle when the visor is in a lowered use position and which is directable by movement of the visor for providing illumination for the vehicle occupants. When the covers are moved to an open position, the illumination sources are spaced-apart on opposite edges of the mirror and provide illumination for the face of the user of the illuminated vanity mirror facilitating use under low, ambient light conditions.
