Further, the vanity mirror frame includes a unique socket () for pivotally receiving and holding a mirror cover in place. Detent springs extend between the frame and cover for snap opening and closing of the cover between closed and open positions. The cover includes an additional cam () which cooperates with an electrical switch when the cover is open to provide operating power to the lamp.
