The present application includes a vehicle mirror which includes an approach light in the attachment assembly. The approach light is a single light source positionable in relation to predetermined inputs for directing light to various areas, depending on the inputs. Additionally, an intercom system is provided for communication between the interior of the vehicle and exterior of the vehicle, by way of the vehicle mirror. Also, a remote sensor is utilized to set predetermined memory positions of interior vehicle components such as seats, steering columns and brake pedals. This allows customization of the interior components upon an individual's approach to the vehicle.

Exterior mirror

This invention relates to a mirror head () for an external vehicle mirror that comprises a load carrying structure () that is located within the mirror head, a connector () on the load carrying structure () that connects the mirror head () with respect to the vehicle, a shell () forming the external surface of the mirror head () within which at least a portion of the load carrying structure () locates, said connector () being positioned to enable connection with respect to the vehicle, and foam within the internal cavity of the shell (), that acts to bond the load carrying structure () with respect to the shell components (). This assembly provides a lighter mirror head () by comparison to conventional construction techniques while at the same time remaining rigid. It provides a means whereby loads can be transferred to the foam which are in turn transferred to the external shell components () of the mirror head ().
