Exclamation How do i disassemble my MIRRORS?

Hi guys, I was wondering how i can change the light colors under the side mirrors and i could not find a way on my own.

are you talking about replacing the puddle light bulbs?? If so, you're in LUCK! I just did this yesterday and I've got the step by step instruction on my computer at home. Hang tight for a few hours and I'll shoot them over to you.

replacing the puddle light bulbs is easy.. just be sure to do it where it's reasonably warm so you aren't likely to crack the mirror or plastic.

Push the inside (toward the car) corner of the mirror all the way in. This should leave enough room on the outside (upper?) corner to get your fingers in and pull. Pull on the mirror. there are three ball/sockets that need to be dissengaged.

Once you do that, it should be fairly obvious how to get to the puddle lights. (While you are in there, mind taking a picture, just curious how the non-US car's puddle lamps look.)

To put the mirror back together, push on the center of the mirror first until it locks, then push on the other two smaller ball/socket locations until they lock in place.
