A sun visor includes a visor assembly having an illumination device. The visor assembly further includes a trim bezel tray, backplate, and lamp/mirror lid. The trim bezel tray has a battery holder and at least one receiving portion molded as an integral part of the bezel. Access to the trim bezel tray is made possible by hingedly opening the trim bezel tray and backplate of the visor. A replaceable battery is placed within the battery holder. In a preferred embodiment, the illumination device includes an illumination source and a lightpipe with a lens attached to each end. The lightpipe assembly eliminates wiring from the installation and the replaceable battery eliminates the need for a remote power source. In another embodiment, the illumination device includes at least one illumination source positioned in the receiving portions of the bezel. The illumination source is in communication with the battery through electrically conductive wires.
