Map lights on verts are turned on by either the two little buttons on the front of the mirror or by either turning your headlight switch clockwise (to the right). My guess would be the second one.

Yeah see if the headlight **** will turn left. If it doesnt then check the switches on the mirrow(both control the same lights) Also make sure both doors are closed
