It's pretty simple really, here's the code I use to put glows on the lights:


#include "transforms.inc"

//set the camera position and location
#declare vCamPos  = <0,1.5,0>;
#declare vCamLook = <0,0,20>;

//place the camera so that the mirror image will appear to be from the desired
position.
#declare vMirrorPos = vCamPos + vnormalize(vCamLook-vCamPos)*.001;
camera {
 right   x*image_width/image_height
 up    y
 direction -z*.7 //use -ve z, to compensate for reversal in the mirror

 location vMirrorPos-(vCamPos-vMirrorPos)
 look_at vMirrorPos
}

//the mirror
disc {
 0, -z, .002

 texture {
  pigment { rgb 0 }
  finish {
   reflection 1    //reflection, to show the image
   specular 3 roughness .005    //highlights, to give glows on lights
  }
 }

 Reorient_Trans( -z, (vCamLook-vCamPos)*<1,0,1> )
 Reorient_Trans( (vCamLook-vCamPos)*<1,0,1>, vCamLook-vCamPos )

 translate vMirrorPos
}
