Visor lights
New to me 2018 coupe, discovered that both sun visors vanity mirror lights do not work. All other courtesy and cargo lights work. Is there just one fuse for those lights, or did one of the previous owners disconnect the power at the visors, any help appreciated.

In my case the windshield was replaced at the purchasing dealer and they did not plug in the wiring harness so my visor AND map lights didn't work.
Do your Map lights work? If map and visor lights are not working and it's not a blown fuse it's possible someone was dicking around with the windshield and didn't plug in the wiring harness.
If the map lights are working and there's not a dedicated fuse for the Visor lights is not blown then the visor wiring could have been unplugged by the previous owner. It's easy enough to take the visors off and check the connectors.

Thanks for replying, just finished checking for power at the connector, it's got 12v. When I flip the cover open I can't hear or feel the switch being actuated, might have to pry the whole assembly of the visor, another day perhaps, I am going to look into removing the airbag stickers also.

I flipped the mirror cover open and pulled it towards me and the lights turned on, it worked on passenger side as well. The next thing is to remove those ugly air bag warning stickers.

I found some overlay stickers with the C7 logo , they were made just for covering up those air bag labels, worked great and looks good.

Thanks for the suggestion, will those overlay stickers work on the fabric? I have already pulled the airbag labels and now dealing with how to remove the adhesive left on the visors.

Not sure if they will. Stick to fabric, I put mine right on top of the OEM labels. Maybe a question for the seller of the labels.

Be aware that there were apparently two slightly different types of fabric used on the visors, I think it had to do with normal interior vs Z06 interior or the "Sueded Microfiber Seat Inserts" and steering wheel (which my car have). My visor label covers are not a perfect match for the visors, but close enough and hugely better than those awful labels.
BTW, those suede seats are great. I would never have ordered them but they were on the car so I grudgingly paid the few extra dollars. They seem to be slightly more comfortable in hot or cold weather, easy to get in/out, and grip like mad when cornering. Somebody said "it's like trying to slide your *** across flypaper", in a good way.

Closing out the thread, I was able to remove most of the adhesive using Goo gone, sprayed it on a cloth and dabbed it on, waited about an hour and then rubbed it of with a textured cloth towel, way better then those stickers.
