Portable expandable mirrors with lights for use in motor vehicles and elsewhere

An apparatus comprising:

• a mirror body, comprising one or more mirror body sections, attachable, using a first attachment element, to a first interior portion of a motor vehicle or a second interior portion of the motor vehicle, wherein the second interior portion of the motor vehicle comprises a visor in the motor vehicle, wherein the mirror body is associated with an expanded state and a contracted state, wherein the one or more mirror body sections comprises a first mirror body section and a second mirror body section, wherein the first mirror body section, comprising a first reflective surface, is connected, using a second attachment element, to the second mirror body section comprising a second reflective surface, wherein the first attachment element is different from the second attachment element;
• a light element comprised in or on the second mirror body section;
• and a connector;
• wherein, in the expanded state, the first mirror body section and the second mirror body section form a third reflective surface comprising the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface, wherein continuity of the third reflective surface is broken along an edge of the first mirror body section or the second mirror body section, wherein a first area of the third reflective surface is greater than a second area of the first reflective surface or the second reflective surface, wherein an angular orientation of the first mirror body section or the second mirror body section is adjustable after the mirror body is attached, using the attachment element, to the first interior portion of the motor vehicle or the second interior portion of the motor vehicle, wherein, in the contracted state, the first mirror body section folds onto the second mirror body section such that the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface face each other and are not in physical contact with each other, and such that, in the contracted state, the light element, comprised in or on the second mirror body section is not in physical contact with the first reflective surface, wherein the light element is activatable or activated when the light element or the apparatus is connected, via the connector, to a power source, and wherein the light element is not activatable or not activated when the light element or the apparatus is not connected, via the connector, to the power source.
