The variations include one on each visor, one on the passenger visor, one on the driver's visor or none at all (obviously, this question wouldn't apply here unless you bought an after market mirror). Some of these mirrors had lights and some had lights with two intensities. If you have them, do you use them? [Edited by: Titanic1985 at 8/28/2012 11:39:41 AM EST]

yodudebc Champion Author Vancouver Posts:5,600 Points:544,800 Joined:Aug 2011	Message Posted: May 21, 2013 7:28:35 PM Ignore yodudebc Report Abuse Hi Dan. My GF uses them all the time. I use them when she tells me my glasses are dirty (I never believe her, and I can't see well enough without them to tell unless I have a mirror). Oh, I also use the mirror from the passenger seat when I am parked and waiting for her. She always seems to come up from behind me...
