I think I read the 04 and 05 mirrors are one piece, despite looking like two.

The glass comes out and the top cap is removable on the towing mirrors, Thats what I had to do to add the chrome caps to the towing mirrors. The black cap came off and the chrome screwed on from the inside. I just remember removing the glass was not fun. The clips are delicate and break easy.

Where are you trying to put lights? Signal lights or puddle lights? The aftermarket tow mirrors are a pretty good price as far as I am concerned and you can get them with signals, puddles, power, heated, etc.

i want to put some on the front sides like the 08+ superdutys have, just something custom, i have blinkers in my stock lariat mirrors now, and did find the towing mirrors with heat, power, signal and puddle just havent gotten them yet.. but i like how the superduty mirrors have the blinkers on the front so i wanted to do something along those lines to mine.. just a thought

The mirrors are all 1 piece.

I dont think that you can take them apart from memory.

If you want to take them off to replace, you remove the door panel trim and expose 3 bolts that hold the mirror on the door.
