Abstract

The rear-view mirror has an opening (11) in the bottom of the mirror housing (1) to allow passage of light from a row of light-emitting diodes (31) fitted (12) in the opening. A sealing ring (2) fits between the opening and the light source (3). The light source is activated by the opening of the vehicle door, shining a light downward that is visible at night or in poor light conditions.

Lors de ['assemblage, comme represente sur les figures 2 et 3, on fixe le support 2 de lampe dans le kou traversant 11 du cadre 1 de retroviseur, la paroi peripherique 22 etant au contact de la paroi interieure du kou traversant 11. On installe ensuite la lampe 3 dans l'espace interieur creux, la paroi peripherique 31 etant au contact de la paroi peripherique 22 du support 2 de lampe. Par ailleurs, un element de positionnement 4 est place sur une face arriere de la lampe 3 et est fixe par des boulons 5 qui se vissent dans deux kous 41 de ['element de positionnement 4 et des deux saillies tubulaires 12 de facon que le systeme a lampe puisse etre fixe au  During assembly, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lamp support 2 is fixed in the through kou 11 of the frame 1 of the mirror, the peripheral wall 22 being in contact with the inside wall of the through kou 11. On then installs the lamp 3 in the hollow interior space, the peripheral wall 31 being in contact with the peripheral wall 22 of the lamp support 2. Furthermore, a positioning element 4 is placed on a rear face of the lamp 3 and is fixed by bolts 5 which are screwed into two kous 41 of the positioning element 4 and two tubular projections 12 so that the system lamp can be fixed to
