DISREGARD....please. A major dumba** was apparently behind the wheel.

But I would like to explain myself.....I wear eye glasses that transition to sun glasses. I'm sure others do as well.

However, in sunshine, they go blind level dark on me. It makes it very hard to do any work outside. In this case, sunshine is why I was attempting to use the visor (and noticed the mirror light on).

I did NOT/could NOT see the switch on the side of the mirror in the "transitioned darkness" of the cockpit (plus I was driving at 70-75 MPH at the time and trying to pay attention outside the car).

Once, outside at the show, that was it for the day and the darkness level was even worse as I made a quick check when the key was off.

Searching for my own answers after posting earlier, I found a picture of the visor/vanity mirror in my car....and in the photo I could easily see the switch by simply checking my own visor again and, with the key on, the switch was in the on position. DOH!!!

I'm glad I can't hear the laughter. But, live and learn, right?
