Mirrored Visor with Light?

The interior lighting is not the greatest and I really can't see anything in my visor mirror at night with the interior light on. Any ideas for a light?

I would want to do the same for the passenger side.

This does piss me off about this car, how much would it really cost Honda to have included mirrored visors with a light?

he's talking about the vanity mirror in the visors. He wishes that there are lights installed so when you open the mirror cover the light will come on.

I'm sure you could do something but its a lotta work to make it happen unless u find another honda w/ the same size visor and those lights in the vanity mirror so you could swap them and just run the wiring. Again it is a lotta work. BTW the jdm visors don't have lights either.

The quickest way 2 make u a lil happier is use a flashlight. =P

I was thinking some type of LED built into the visor running off a small watch type battery.

I'll bet the map lights would help illuminate things... but maybe not as well as dedicated visor lights.

The wiring would be the same, though, if you were able to find some visors withlights built in that fit the Fit.

Good luck! I'm really happy with the map lights
