    Okay. Changed the bulb, and it still doesn't work.

    Looked at the compartment and hood fuse boxes and didn't see anything for just vanity lights or the drivers side only!

    My guess is that it needs to be replaced. Did I miss a fuse?

    Do you know about the switch and the fact the mirror cover has to be fully opened before the light turns on?

    Yes. The passenger side works with no problems.

    Re: Driver's vanity light out

    Just so I understand . To check the vanity light the following need to occur. Visor down and mirror slot cover in open position. Additionally does the vehicle IGN need to be on or not???

    I found moving the visor a little back and forth worked. Had the light in "on" position. Mirror open. Even exchanged each housing since the drivers side worked and passenger side didn't.

    Was doing the led interior light replacement bought off eBay for about $8. Looks amazing and now I'm finally complete, thank god.
