Visor light cover

[reefgeorge]

The hinges broke on my drivers side visor cover so now the lid does not turn off the lights. They want big money for replacement parts. Any ideas for a clever hinge fix or how to get the bulbs out so i don't ruin my headliner and/or drain my battery?

If it is broke pull it on off.

I use the mirror so I dont want to pull the assembly off of the visor. How do you get to the bulbs so that I can pull them out?

I ment just pop the rocker switch out.
There should also be a fuse you can pull out.
What year make and model do you have?
Have you checked the bone yard for one?

2002 4 door. There did not appear to be a dedicated fuse and the switch is a pin depressed by the closed lid. How do the bulbs come out?

Just.
As easy as falling off a log.

To remove bulbs insert a small screwdriver into the small slot on side of lens and gently remove lens.

To kill lights remove.
