I recently got a pair of visors from a 95 gt and installed them in my 96. But i had a problem with the wiring for the light.
On the 95 visors, there is 1 black wire that powers the light, and on my 96, it had a black and a white wire for the light. My question is can I somehow rig the 1 black wire to turn on the lights? Is it juts connected to a 12v power source, or is it grounded as well? Thanks for the help in advance...

Yeah, one of them is ground the other is power. The one wire version is grounded through the swivle arm of the visor.

I believe the '95 visor will ground through its mounting screws on the swivle arm, so all you have to do is hook up the power wire on your '96 to the single wire from the '95 visotr.
