Default Visor vanity lights not working

I've been trying to go through the small things on my new to me C6 that I didn't bother to check before I purchased it. The only thing I've come across that appears to be not working are the vanity lights in the mirror on the passenger side visor. I haven't looked, but I assume there wouldn't be a specific fuse dedicated to only that light, so since the driver side works, I'm wondering what it could be. This is certainly no big deal and I know some people swap out the visors entirely for nicer ones that don't have the lighted mirrors. Any tips for troubleshooting the issue?

The bulbs could be burned out, or were broken when trying to replace as they are a bear to get out. The only other thing it could be is that the vanity light connector is unplugged. You would have to remove the sunvisor to check the connector.

When you try to remove the light diffuser, be very careful as it is easy to break off the tab at the top or bottom. You can use a pick tool to get it in the small hole to try to pry it up and out. I believe have a few spare diffusers if you ever need to replace one.
