Access Lights in the Mirrors?

[SauceNJ]

Hey - I'm new here! First post: I'd like to change the lights inside my mirrors, you know, the ones that light up when you unlock the car... For the life of me, I can't find an access point! How do I do this? Much appreciated!

Please post your request once and only once (see the board Guidelines/Rules).

Really? Nobody knows?

Less than 4 hours since your post and no responses - please have a little patience.

Is this the light you mean?

[SauceNJ]

That seems like it could be the mirror... though that schematic doesn't help too much.

I'm surprised that nobody has changed these lights. I guess I'm going to the dealership?

I have been looking for the same information. Has anyone replaced this light in the outside mirror?

I haven't had the pleasure of changing these lights yet but I'll look through the manual and post anything if I find it.

thanks.

Any update on how to get access to this light? thanks!

I have no diagram, but you have to dismantle the mirror front and rear shells, it takes some time and the parts are very brittle to work with.

Can you be more specific as to how to dismantle them? My lights are out too and I'm coming up pretty empty on web searches.

You do not have to remove the housing to replace these lights... just the mirror glass. You can then remove the light housing and wiggle it out enough to replace the bulb. I did this when I replaced my stock bulb with xenon look LED's. Takes less than 5 minutes. :)
