Nice job. Can you give me some quick instructions on how to get that Mirror off without breaking the tabs. I have my recon turn signal lights to install but I haven't been able to get this mirrors off.

This has all the information you'll need to get the mirrors off and perform any changes in the mirror.

Good luck!

A long skinny flat head screwdriver worked best for mine. There is a little notch area to stick it in to gently get mirror loose. Once one section is loose you can follow it around to take the rest off. HOLD ONTO THE MIRROR because it will fall. This step is the hardest and where people have broken their mirrors.

Going through the puddle light hole is very easy. Took me less than 5 minutes to wire up both sides using posi-taps and liquid tape. Plus no risk of breaking the mirrors.

I just pulled the mirrors off by hand. It's nothing exotic holding it in, just pressure claw clips.

Have to exercise some sense when pulling on it obviously so you don't flex the mirror TOO much.
They pop right off.......no tools needed.

X2^ This. Made up my own kit for less than $20. Only difference is that I soldered my connections, and then had to smoke the lens.

Nice, a Ruby Red Raptor. I've only ever seen one in person and I thought it was gorgeous!
