A sun visor system for reducing glare in a vehicle is presented. The sun visor system has a roof mounted antenna which determines the amount of exterior sun light for a lighted mirror. The sun visor is preferably significantly larger than a standard sun visor. An oversized portion of the sun visor provides a protection for a larger area. The oversized portion of the sun visor is preferably between one and two (1-2) inches. The sun visor is initiated by automatically activated UV lighting in photochromatic material in the transitional sun visor of the sun visor system. The roof mounted antenna is coupled to the sun visor by small hinges or swivels that allow the lighted mirror to move in one direction only, to the driver or passenger window with no glare to passing traffic. Thusly, it extends clear vision and extends further sun light reduction.
