Only the passenger side of the Turbo Buick had a lighted vanity mirror.
That was an option that could be ordered when the Regal was new, it’s not standard in every Gbody Regal.
(3 options were available: no mirror, non-lighted mirror, lighted mirror)
There’s 4 bulbs in the vanity mirror housing, 2 on each side of the mirror.
It has a built-in switch, selecting LO (2 lights ON) or HI (4 lights ON).
The OEM light was a white bulb.
