Yes I have the homelink mirror without the compass. Not sure what you mean by 5 tabs. The plastic lens for the map lights are small 1/2 inch circular. Think I only see one or two little notches in it where something can be inserted to pop it out.
mirror must be different. here's what mine looks like.

This is what my map lights looks likes. Any idea how to remove those covers? I tried turning them which i was able to do from L to R position but then not able to pop them out. Tried pushing in as well as pulling them out.
Afraid of breaking the glass or worst damaging the unit.
i would assume R and L are 'release' and 'lock' maybe?? i would twist and then try to pop them out using the notch. being that small i would think you could give it to them pretty good without them breaking. again, i'd use a small pick if you have one to try and get behind those notches.

Yeah I thats what I figured about the R and L but man I was hoping the cover would just fall down when its on R. Its not even budging...guess i'll try the pick and see what happens.
bummer. i did some searching....best i found was people taking the front of the mirror off (???) i guess the front/glass "snaps" off and you can get to them from inside

humm sounds risky. I can easily see myself breaking the mirror or scratching it while trying to take it off. Probably not worth the effort unless someone knows a way to get to it from the bottom. You would think it should be possible since the cover has notches to turn it in for some reason....
Sorry if I left out any steps or pictures but this diy isn't as great as my others
This DIY was awesome! by any chance would you happen to know how to replace the lights in the rear view mirror?? I have the 2010 C without homelink, I'm guessing I have to take apart the mirror? Idk, how would I do this?

if you have an interior panel tool set (the 'plastic' blades in different shapes/sizes) you can "pop" the glass off if you work your way around. sounds more daunting than it really is. i recommend the trim tools because its easier to not damage/scratch the mirror/housing.
