Changing Lights in Mirrors

Hello,

Any one know how to take apart the driver and passenger mirrors and get to the little light in the bottom of it?

Thanks!!

Nice schematics. Do you have any for replacing the rear hatch struts, along with the current part #'s?

I did this to add in LED's... you do NOT have to disassemble the housing like the factory manual says, you can actually just remove the mirror glass (it pops off) and wiggle the bulb holder out to replace the bulb. FYI
