[0031] In one embodiment of the present application, it also includes a connecting arm 23, a fixed hanging arm 24, and a mounting seat 25. One end of the connecting arm 23 extends into the rearview mirror housing 10 and is connected to the rearview mirror housing 10 through a connecting pressure block 26, and the other end is fixedly arranged with one end of the fixed hanging arm 24. The mounting seat 25 includes a connecting seat 27 that is detachably connected to the vehicle body by bolts, and a hanging portion 28 that is integrally formed with the connecting seat 27 on one side of the connecting seat 27. The upper end of the hanging portion 28 has a connecting socket 29, and the other end of the fixed hanging arm 24 has a connecting plug arm 30 that is inserted into the connecting socket 29. The connecting plug arm 30 and the connecting socket 29 are matched with each other using a square cross-section, that is, the connecting socket 29 is a square hole, and the connecting plug arm 30 is a square end. After the connecting plug arm 30 is installed in the connecting socket 29, the connecting plug arm 30 cannot rotate. After the connecting plug arm 30 is installed in the connecting socket 29, a fixed connection is formed between the connecting plug arm 30 and the hanging portion 28 by a bolt connector. A reinforcing rib 31 is provided between the connection seat 27 and the suspension portion 28 to strengthen the strength between the connection seat 27 and the suspension portion 28. The fixed hanging arm 24 can be inserted into the end of the connecting arm 23 and fixed by bolts or welding, or the fixed hanging arm 24 and the outer periphery of the connecting arm 23 can be fixed by welding.
[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, a making way portion 32 is provided at the bottom of the bottom shell 16 for making way for the connection between the connecting arm 23 and the rearview mirror housing 10. The making way portion 32 is recessed from the outside of the bottom wall inside the bottom shell 16 toward the inside of the bottom wall inside the bottom shell 16, so that the additional light source can reduce the impact on the structure of the original rearview mirror, and a reinforcing portion 33 protruding toward the inside of the inner bottom shell 16 is formed between the inner wall and the bottom wall of the bottom shell 16 to enhance the strength of the housing.
