In various aspects, the front cover includes an illumination zone, and, in an activated configuration, the light guide is configured to direct light from the light source to the illumination zone such that light is directed through the illumination zone. In certain aspects, the front cover includes an indicator, and, in an activated configuration, the light guide is configured to direct light from the light source to the indicator such that the indicator is activated. In various examples, the aircraft mirror assembly is provided with an aircraft cabin assembly positionable in a cabin of an aircraft.
