Hi,

What is your Model Year? Prior to MY '00, lighted Vanity Mirrors were an option - M274 Vanity Mirrors Illuminated. After MY'99 these became standard. If you have one of each, a PO installed a later model Sunvisor on the Driver's side.

If you have opaque diffusers on either side of the Passenger Sunvisor vanity mirror, it is an illuminated one, but not operating.

You'd first wat to check the Bulb(s) and put a multimeter to the contacts to insure you're getting power. If no joy, you'll need to remove the Sunvisor and clean the contacts on the attachment bracket on the windshield header. For this you'll need a Philips Screwdriver and a T25 Torx Driver.

If you do not have the opaque diffusers, you can add an Illuminted Sunvisor (available on eBay), but you'll need to rig a power wire and add contacts to the attachment bracket (using a cheap Radio Shack part). I did this to mine and added a pair of the illuminated visors. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
