how do i remove my mirror houseings?

50 bucks says you crack a mirror.

It's no easy task, trust me. You have to angle the mirror glass out in order to get your hand behind them to pop them out. Be careful, and use a rag or something to spread the force across the surface of the mirror glass, otherwise it'll crack right in half. The rest is easy.

Saturnine may be able to shed some light...

I did it twice without any damage. Just do it very slowly and you should be ok. As Anthony said, spread the force across evenly with your fingers behind the mirror.

Keep us posted.

Here's what it looks like. It's very easy to do. Use your instinct and you'll be OK.

First step is to remove the two screws on the bottom. Take that black plactic part out.

Then the mirror itself as Anthony explained. Unplug the wires (2) as seen on the second diagram.

And the cap. With the diagram you should be able to do it. Once you do the first one...


Hope this help!

Here's some pix I took when I first did it. It'll give you an idea how it looks.
