I went and had my car serviced this afternoon. I mentioned the vanity lights on the driver's side visor stopped working last week and asked them to take a look at it. They said the only option was to replace the ENTIRE visor to a tune of $475!!! :yikes: I politely declined to have it replaced, but I was steaming. :burning:

The car is only 5 years old. I can't believe you just can't change a frigging light bulb in the thing or fix it without having to replace the whole visor. :banghead:
Jazz, not sure what year you have but they have replacement visors for 2001-2005 Sebrings here. And it's only $121.

Thanks, but it's a 2000 so I'm not sure if it would work. :shrug:

Compared to the $475 price tag for your other option a small cut might not be too bad. Plus you will have saved enough to pay for your tags. :biggrin:

:bonk: I don't think his wife would like that. :razz:

No access to a car battery? :confused:
I wouldnt take the battery out of my own car to work on it.

Jazz, if you bring it by my office I can take a look at it for you. Can you tell if the mirror portion pops out of the visor? Can you wiggle the mirror peice a little in the visor? Or does it feel like it's glued in?

Thanks for the offer. I'll check at lunch. I have no idea how it's put together. :shrug:

No, the mirror is embedded in the visor. It does not move at all. The only thing that may be removable is the plastic coverings for the lights on either side of the mirror.

I should be able to fix it then. Only thing you will have to pay for is the bulbs if they are bad.(couple bucks) I got all the soldering stuff if there is bad wires.

Do you know where my building is on base?

I'll pay for anything you need if it saves me $475. :lol:

I have no clue what building you're in, but I can't get on base right now because my decal has expired. They wouldn't give me a new decal unless I had proof of insurance and I can't find the stupid card the insurance company sent me. :banghead: *sigh* Send me a PM with your info and I'll see if I can get the decal renewed tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help. :smooch:
