New sunvisors shed some light!! Newfound knowledge.
Many of you C5 owners probably have the same ugly,flappy sunvisors dangling in front of you and always annoyed with it. Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought a pair from a member here and they arrived yesterday. So, I opened them up and said " damn, I don't remember mine having mirrors this big"? So upon installation and comparing the mirrors, my "factory" mirror was smaller and guess what else? Mine had no lights and I never realized it!! The new pair had a larger mirror and lights, so I was wondering what to do now. Well, I started the removal of the old visors and low and behold there was the wire and connector up in the headliner for the "lighted mirrors" and mine being a base model had none. Well I simply plugged them in and "BAM" I now have lighted sunvisors that my car never came with. So now I not only have new visors, but a bigger mirror and lights! Just thought I'd share this newfound knowledge.

Don't ya just love it when that happens! I am surprised GM ran the wire up there. They could have saved 30 cents. (I know it was actually less expensive for them to just run it to all models.)
