Wiring up visors should be simple -- I would expect just a positive and negative wire. The visors should have a small switch built in that turns them on when opened up.

Get em, we'll figure them out.

yeah, shouldn't be too difficult. Can prolly get power right from the o'head console and tuck wires up under head liner across top of windshield.

Who knows, you might get lucky when GM switched to cheaper (light free) visors may have never pulled out the wiring (like the blazer hatch release wiring left in our trucks).

What's holding your visors on? like three screws, right? pull 'em out and see if there's a couple wires tucked up in there.


*Edit: and yeah... as long as you've got a digital camera, we can surely figure something out to get you hooked up.

Camelott,

I'll Try To At Least Pull A Visor Down this Weekend Sometime (By Sunday), And Get The Color Wires Going To The Visors. That Way You Can Probably Just Find Those Colors In The Roof Console And Tap Right Into Them If The Wires Arent Already Run.

Ok,

What I Found Was The Following:

There Is A Connector In There As You Can See In The Pic, Black & Orange Coming Out Of The Headliner / White & White-blk Stripe Going To Visor. Visor Is operated By Opening Cover (see little yellow button on top of left light) So Orange Wire Has To Be Hot All The Time.

If You Need Any Other Info Or Pics Just Let Me Know.

I installed a set in mine that I pulled out of a junkyard truck. Mine did not have the wiring in place so I went back and pulled the wiring from the JY truck then pulled the pins out of the plug and put them in my plug.
