On the underside of the mirror there is a light that shines onto the centre console. Can you replace the bulb or LED.

Is there? I never noticed on mine.

I have a spare mirror if you're interested

I think it's soldered in.

Should be able to replace it. The one in the Astra is much brighter than the Omega one.

Yes its an orange type light and I was told its there as "an ambient light for the centre console " if that makes any sense.

Heaven knows f the bulb is replaceable though as would need to take interior mirror apart but assume it must be.Best of luck with it and finding a suitable spare

Not all mirrors have it, it came in later in the production run

Never noticed it with mine, and it was one of the last to be built

Hi Nick, how much do want for the mirror. I live in the same town as you making it easy for me to buy.

Standard on all Elites (02 plate onwards) which strangely have those options as standard

Doctor Gollum · « **Reply #12 on:** 02 October 2019, 12:28:34 »

Rain Sensor Pack.

Rain sensitive windscreen wipers, electrochromatic antidazzle rear view mirror, indirect night lighting.

Standard on Elites, £100 option on the rest of the range

So in theory could be fitted to a GLS

PM me if I forget to reply in a day or so, but I think I have the same mirror as you, from a Vectra C, spare. I'll check if this has the ambient light function, if so will be up for grabs shorty.

This is the mirror fitted as part of the rain sensor pack. The Elites have a different mirror which includes a pair of motors which are set by the driver seat memory

Yes, you are right DG. It is there, but does not appear to do much so no wonder I had not noticed it!

Doctor Gollum · « **Reply #16 on:** 05 October 2019, 14:01:42 »

It does as much as it needs to... That's to say not much but it does add a subtle orange hue to the centre console

Good to know

Will still be up for grabs, at some point, but will ensure I don't advertise it 'falsely'.
