These can be changed. Ive replaced mine with LED bulbs......
To replace em u have to tilt mirror to reveal bulb socket. Twist and pull out, then replace bulb..... Bulb is the same one as the rear license plate light bulb...
Here are some pics to give u an idea of how to do it.....

you can always pull the mirror out. It's held in by 3 clips, just gently pull straight out.

Pls don't assume it is as simple as pulling it out !
When you pull it out the wrong way, you will break the clips !
When any1 of the clip is damage, you are as good as havin to change new side mirrors.
Use a midget screwdriver to unhook the clips from inside, to do so 1st tilt your mirror to one end, loose those clips than follow by the other. This is the correct method where you dun risk breakin those clips !!!
If you really can't do it and need help, pm me !

I've taken my mirror off MANY times and never broken a clip.
Scroll through this PDF file and you'll see how to safely remove the mirror.
