Abstract

An exterior mirror assembly (10) including an attachment member (16) for supporting an approach light (22). The attachment member (16) interconnects a mirror housing (12) to a vehicle (40) and includes an opening for receiving a lens (122). Light projects through the lens (122) from the attachment member (16) in order to illuminate a predetermined area in proximity to the vehicle (40). A light source (120) may be housed within the support member (16) or, alternatively, a light source (120) may be housed interior to the vehicle (40) and a light path (72) transports light from the light source (120) to the lens (122) for projection from the support member (16).
