They work on their own perfectly, Ill take a picture when its darker later.

So will they work permanently as long as the mirrors are open? Don't need keys turned or anything? As I will be fitting an electric sunroof soon, so will wire it up to the same place!

Yep, its a permanent live, so when you open the visors, two metal contacts meet and complete the circuit = lights on.

Was there not a switched live you could have used instead?

Not sure, would there be one around there? Was told just to piggyback off the interior light live.

So that you don't accidentally drain your battery when some idiot girl leaves the passenger sunvisor open and on all night.
