Lighted Vanity Mirror Transplant

vm01a.jpg

My first idea for this came from the Toyota Camry (Made in Thailand, luxury version). The car stopped beside me at the traffic junction and the front female passenger was saying “Mirror Mirror on the wall”….

 

So my hunt goes for the current version of Camry’s lighted visor vanity mirror. As expected, a brand new one from Borneo Motors will cost more than S$250. Kinda stupid to spend S$500+ on a pair or lighted mirror.

 

On day, I found a scrap yard in Sg. Kadut having a less-than-1-year-old Thai Camry waiting to be scrap after an accident.  Spoke to the scrapy boss and he said that Camry cannot be touched; i.e. he’s going to selling the car as a whole, locally or exported.

 

My search goes on for other scrapped BMW, Volvo, Audi, etc….but none of them has a lighted vanity mirror that is large and lighted at both ends of the mirror.

Proceeding to Ebay, I finally found a pair with the right dimension after some time. Bidded for it successfully and it’s From ebay to My Bay!!!

It takes a while to find a suitable lighted vanity mirror with the right dimension. It must also be illuminated for both the driver and passenger side.
 
This pair came from a Ford Probe GT.
 
The dimension proportion turns out superb for the Celica's visor.
