Install at your own risk lol
First remove the cover starting from mirror side. <br/>Then work your way to the back.<br/>Make sure glass is straight in line with the bottom so it does not break when you remove cover. <br/>Might have to put a little muscle into taking the cover off just be careful not to break anything.
Once the cover is off you can use a flat head screw driver and pop the mirror off from the motor. <br/>It's Very easy -just be careful <br/><br/>I laid the mirror to the side like that because it's connected and I don't want to start messing with wires. Either have someone help you hold it or do what I did.<br/><br/><br/>Once the mirror is laid to the side there are 3 torques screws in the motor u need to take our for it to come out. ( don't take middle screw out ).
Once you have the motor out I also put it to the side and you have access to the housing of the light. Here is the tricky part u have to muscle it out a little bit . I started from the part with the clip. I used a flat head to un clip it and I gently popped it . And then you have to try to get the other side out . It's definetly able to come out you gotta mess around with it. The flat head helped me take it out.
Now you have access congratulations lol.<br/>You gotta take that rubber gasket out with the bulb attached . I kind of just twisted and wiggled it back and fourth until it came out. But once it's out its a PAIN to get back In because there is not a lot of hand space . I used small needle nose pliers to grip the rubber gasket and had to muscle it in by twisting and going side to side and whatever I can do. This part took a little time .in this picture u have to get it to that top ring
That is Pretty much it this is just a picture with the LED installed . Before I put the housing back on
Just make sure you get the whole rubber gasket back in to prevent water and stuff from getting in to the housing. Needle nose pliers helped me with this!!
Finished product
