Default Sun Visors Change?

Did the style of sun visor (light switch) change during production years?
I got tired of my visor's floppy ears and my attempts to fix them.
I bought a new set of visors and installed them. I then saw that
the mirror light comes on when you open the flap, not by
a slide switch beside the mirror.

Kinda bugging me and I'm deciding if I want to change them again.
Thinking: I already know what I look like and don't use the mirrors
much anyway. Hummm

No they did not but the airbag sticker changed in 94 when the passenger side airbag was introduced. Yep thats todays standard replacement I have that style as well now with the exception of a intergrated home link system on the driver side.

You can fix the floppy end with some fondue sticks (plastic if you can find them) just insert them in the ends. Just don't grab them from the end when adjusting.

I had the same floppy ears problem. I got a pair from Mid America that exactly matched the originals on my '95. --Bob

I have been debating on replacing mine with the light that turn on when they flip open, but mine were redone in vinyl (maybe leather, I forget) a few years ago so I have not bothered to swap again
