Exterior rearview mirror for vehicles

Abstract

The exterior rearview mirror has a mirror mounting bracket attached to the vehicle, to which bracket is attached a folding mirror head. The mirror also has, arranged in the mirror mounting bracket, a perimeter light with a lighting means, preferably an LED. In order to design the exterior rearview mirror so that heat produced by the lighting means does not have an adverse effect, the lighting means is arranged on a thermally conductive carrier, which carrier is in thermally conductive connection with the mirror mounting bracket. The heat generated by the lighting means is transmitted by the carrier to the mirror mounting bracket so that excessive heating of the perimeter light and mirror mounting bracket is avoided in a simple manner. The exterior rearview mirror is especially suitable for motor vehicles.
