A vehicle includes a lighting control system including a sensor that is located at an exterior movable component of the vehicle. When the exterior movable component is moved from one position to another position, the pressure sensor sends a signal to a controller that activates exterior lights of the vehicle based on the signal.

An apparatus for operating a mirror assembly of a vehicle includes a fixing member fixed to a mirror base of the vehicle; and a driving member fixed to a mirror housing of the vehicle and configured to rotate the mirror housing with respect to the fixing member by generating a driving force. A position of the mirror housing includes a first position where the mirror housing is unfolded with respect to the mirror base and a second position where the mirror housing is folded with respect to the mirror base. The driving member is configured to decrease a gap between the mirror housing and the mirror base when the mirror housing is changed from the second position to the first position, and increase the gap when the mirror housing is changed from the first position to the second position.

A camera mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a folding unit configured to be rotated with respect to a fixed shaft formed in a base provided in the vehicle; and a support frame in which the folding unit and a camera are mounted at both ends thereof, wherein the support frame is configured to be folded or unfolded to change a position of the camera as the folding unit rotates. Further, the folding unit includes a driving housing, a driving portion, a driven gear portion fixed to the fixed shaft, and a driving force transfer portion for transferring a driving force of the driving portion to the driven gear portion.

In a vehicle door mirror, an electric retraction unit is disposed between a mirror housing and a shaft pivotably supporting a base end part of the mirror housing, and at least three housing fastening parts are fastened to the mirror housing and provided integrally with a unit constituent member forming part of the electric retraction unit. A vibration suppression arm part is provided integrally with the unit constituent member and extends in a direction that goes away from at least two of the at least three housing fastening parts. A remaining one housing fastening part of the at least three housing fastening parts is formed in a tip end part of the vibration suppression arm part. Accordingly, the vehicle door mirror can give an effective vibration suppression effect while enhancing the workability and suppressing any increase in the cost.

Adjusting instrument for an exterior vision unit, comprising: a base shaft, a housing surrounding the base shaft, which is pivotable around a longitudinal axis of the base shaft in an adjustment range, wherein the housing is provided with a housing ring, and a drive ring surrounding the base shaft. The drive ring is provided with a cam which can cooperate with the housing ring so as, upon pivoting of the housing relative to the drive ring in a pivoting direction around the base shaft, to move the housing via the housing ring from a high housing position along the base shaft downwards into a low housing position, and upon pivoting of the drive ring relative to the housing in an opposite pivoting direction around the base shaft, to move the drive ring along the base shaft upwards from a low drive ring position into a high drive ring position.
