Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 8:th-Mar-2015

Hi All,

The sun visor I currently have in the driver side of the car doesn't have a mirror in it and the one in the passenger side of the car doesn't have lights in it but does have the mirror...is there any way to get new visors so that the driver side has a mirror and the passenger side has lights?

Thanks

I have a pass and driver side here both with mirror and lights, in beige (I've gone black now)

Will get you some pics and price tomorrow.

You're the man! Thanks dude! do they leds in then or will I need to source them myself? For the led conversion I'm doing on the interior hehe. I keep finding more and more work I wanna do!!!! Lol

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 8:th-Mar-2015

You're right! I thought id make this list of about 6 things and make my way through and that would be that but every time I do one job I add another two to the list! Haha

Thanks mate is there a guide for how to remove the current ones?

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 8:th-Mar-2015

As promised here are the pics.







I'll do them for £65 posted mate.

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 8:th-Mar-2015

More expensive than I thought tbh but I do want them are they easy to fit?

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 8:th-Mar-2015

Also why are there three of them mate?

Vanity Mirror/Visor - tucpal - 8:th-Mar-2015

for the power for the lights

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 8:th-Mar-2015

New you are looking at £140+ mate.

real easy to fit 3 screws the wire for lights should be in the roof lining.

there is only 2 I've just taken a pic of the mirror covered and uncovered also a pic of the back.

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 8:th-Mar-2015

How do you get to the plug in the roof wiring though? And again you posted three photos of three different visors and one is just the plain one I already have, am I missing something?

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 8:th-Mar-2015

The wire fits through the hole mate, I'll sort the how-to out tomorrow.

Pic are as follows.

1. Visors with mirror flaps shut.
2. Visors with mirror flaps open.
3. Back of visors this is what you see when they folded closed in the car.

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 8:th-Mar-2015

Haha I'm such an idiot! Thanks mate for clearing that up yeah I'll take them then. Can you wait until 20th this month though? That's when I get paid.

Thanks

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 8:th-Mar-2015

no problem mate in no rush.

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 8:th-Mar-2015

Thanks dude! Just didn't want you to sell them to someone else :P

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 8:th-Mar-2015

Shh don't tell the others or I'll get in trouble for not putting them in the for sale section and I didn't put my username and date in the pictures

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 8:th-Mar-2015

Oh yeah!!! Well you have 24 hours to get a new picture up with your name in it hehe

I'll be a good boy and put them in the for section tomorrow with a new pic, got some other bits to put up.

Oooo looking forward to seeing which other bits you have! And didn't know you needed to put it in the for sale section when I've agreed to buy it :P

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 8:th-Mar-2015

I'll do it and mark as sold I set the rules so I must follow them otherwise I can't tell others off.

Although I always tell the kids do as I say not as I do.

well done

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 10:th-Mar-2015

Here you go mate how-to http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-How-to-Remove-Sun-visors

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 10:th-Mar-2015

Cheers mate! You're a legend how do you get the new wire back up to to the lining and plugged in again though?

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 10:th-Mar-2015

The same way it comes out mate a little tricky as you have to hold it up and then go through the other side get an extra pair of hands to hold the visor up.

I'm just confused as to how you get the wire through the roof lining and into its plug

Vanity Mirror/Visor - tucpal - 10:th-Mar-2015

Remove the centre console in the headliner

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 10:th-Mar-2015

Okay cool think I get it, so I'd be able to feed the wire through the roof to the roof centre panel?

Vanity Mirror/Visor - Rusty2009 - 10:th-Mar-2015

The plug is in between the hole it goes in and the centre console, I couldn't get any pics up there hence why there isn't any.

Vanity Mirror/Visor - sheppy1 - 10:th-Mar-2015

Yeah makes sense, I was just wondering how I'd actually be able to plug it in without being able to see the plug and how I'd feed the wire into the roof lining and manoeuvre it into place that's all
