Abstract
A covered illuminated vanity mirror for use in a vehicle includes a cover operated switch for actuating lights for providing illumination for the mirror. A second switch is provided and is movable for selecting high or lower levels of light intensity. To assure the level of illumination is at the lower level when the cover is initially opened, an automatic dimming system couples the second switch to the cover such that movement of the cover between an open position to a closed position causes the second switch to move to the lower intensity position.
