FYI--Vanity mirror light not working---mercury switch 700 1990

Well, the math is probably something like 2gm per car rather than two oz. I forget how many drops per ml, used to be something like 10 drops or so?

The glass capsule has one drop of Hg in it and it's pretty well protected; the mercury switch that came with the visor was metal encapsulated; I doubt that it would rupture in an accident although a fire would probably melt it and disperse the Hg fumes.

I guess I'll know if the glass capsule ruptures if the vanity mirror doesn't light!
