Mirror with map light built in - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The accessory book shows a mirror with a map light. That's modestly interesting, but my '69 Pontiac 2+2 came with it from the factory, and its the only car that I've ever seen (I have the build sheet, not a dealer add).

I remember it vividly because when I was 3 it shorted out and sparks shot everywhere and my Mom had to cut the wire with fingernail clipper from her purse. Then, even more traumatic, I had to pay someone to restore it 40 years later because it was rare and the mirror was aging...

Anyway, it's cool that these were truck accessories, but has anyone seen them as factory options in Impalas or anywhere else?
