Low profile sun visor system with remote lighting

A sun visor system for an automotive vehicle, said automotive vehicle having a roof with an inner surface thereof and a front header panel attached thereto, said automotive vehicle further having a headliner covering at least a portion of said inner surface of said roof, said sun visor system comprising:

• a primary sun visor;
• a primary sun visor elbow rotatably coupled with said primary sun visor;
• a tray defined by a pair of lateral surfaces with a central surface therebetween, said lateral and central surfaces being substantially horizontal, a pair of substantially vertical walls connecting said central surface to each adjacent one of said pair of lateral surfaces adjacent thereto, said central surface juxtapositioned substantially against said front header panel with said headliner being clear therebetween, said pair of lateral surfaces vertically offset lower than said central surface;
• a center support extending from one of said pair of lateral surfaces, said center support detachably retaining said primary sun visor thereto;
• and
• said primary sun visor juxtapositioned against said tray when in a stowed position thereof.

• a vanity mirror mounted upon said primary sun visor;
• a center support extending from one of said pair of lateral surfaces, said center support detachably retaining said primary sun visor thereto;
• a pair of illumination sources each disposed within a corresponding one of said pair of lateral surfaces of said tray, said pair of illumination sources illuminating a face of a vehicle occupant during viewing in said vanity mirror;
• and
• an auxiliary sun visor pivotably mounted to said tray and juxtapositioned against said central surface thereof when stowed, said auxiliary sun visor laterally juxtapositioned between said pair of lateral surfaces of said tray when stowed.

• a center support extending from one of said pair of lateral surfaces, said center support detachably retaining said primary sun visor thereto;
• said primary sun visor juxtapositioned against said tray when in a stowed position thereof;
• a vanity mirror selectively covered by a lid mounted upon said primary sun visor;
• a pair of illumination sources each disposed within a corresponding one of said pair of lateral surfaces of said tray, said pair of illumination sources disposed longitudinally behind said front header panel, said pair of illumination sources illuminating a face of a vehicle occupant during viewing in said vanity mirror, each of said pair of illumination sources including a light bulb, a plurality of light bulb terminals and a lens, said plurality of light bulb terminals retaining said light bulb to said tray, said plurality of light bulb terminals electrically coupling said light bulb to said electrical circuit, said lens directing light toward said face of said occupant, said lens attached to a corresponding one of said pair of lateral surfaces of said tray;
• an electrical switch is closed upon opening said lid covering said vanity mirror thereby allowing electrical current to flow through an electrical circuit to actuate said pair of illumination sources;
• an auxiliary sun visor pivotably mounted to said tray and juxtapositioned against said central surface thereof when stowed, said auxiliary sun visor laterally juxtapositioned between said pair of lateral surfaces of said tray when stowed;
• and
• said primary sun visor elbow extends through one of said pair of said lateral surfaces of said tray, said primary sun visor elbow further being fastened to said front header panel thereagainst, said primary sun visor pivoting from a stowed position to a functional position around said primary sun visor elbow and rotating in concert with said primary sun visor elbow from a forward position adjacent to a windshield to a side position adjacent to a side window thereagainst.
