An exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head pivotally mounted at a mounting base. The mirror head includes a mirror casing and a reflective element adjustably disposed at the mirror casing. An illumination device is disposed at the mirror head. The illumination device includes a light source that, when operated with the mounting base attached at the side of a vehicle, emits visible light to illuminate a ground region at the side of the vehicle. A powerfold actuator is electrically operated to pivot the mirror head relative to the mounting base between a folded position and a drive position. When the powerfold actuator pivots the mirror head, and with the light source of the illumination device operated, the visible light emitted by the light source is directed toward the same ground area at the side of the vehicle throughout the range of pivotal movement of the mirror head.
