DIY Light Up Vanity Mirror (HOLLYWOOD STYLE)

Full instructions on how to make a light up vanity mirror from scratch. You can find these Hollywood style Lighted Vanity mirrors online for close to $500 USD! I managed to complete this project for about $150 USD. I saved some money by purchasing older bathroom light fixtures at a thrift store and removed the light fixtures to re-purpose them in my project. I used LED bulbs and added a dimmable light switch. The completed size with frame is 42.5" wide x 30.5" high, with a depth of 2" (actual mirror is 32" wide x 24" high). The completed project weight is about 19.5 pounds. If you have basic woodworking and electrical skills I would rate this at a skill level of a 3 out of 5 (1 easy, 5 expert). You will be wiring light fixtures with lamp cord and will need to follow electrical standards. I explained as much of the process within the instructions. If you are not comfortable working with electrical wiring, get some help.
