Sun Visor ?
Where can I buy sun visors for a reasonable price?
Mine cant be rebuilt, the cardboard is dry rotted and I would like to have lighted mirrors. Mine does, but they're so bad, that you can barely see yourself.

All the ones I looked at are cardboard. How about removing them and dropping them off at a reputable upholstery shop to be rebuilt with something that will last.
I removed mine, does look better, but I understand why you can't.

If the mirror glass needs to be replaced, when you have the mirrors out during the visor rebuild process, have a good glass shop cut you two new pieces of glass to fit. BTW, use some caution when pushing a mirror back into the masonite board that runs the center of the visor.

"I'm not sure where on here but there was a guy who had a way to repair the limp visors by inserting a small strip of plastic looked real nice to."
Take one of the narrow metal blind strips from an old one, cut with tin snips, slip in above the mirror, or make a slit on the end.
