R170 Mirror repeaters

[Ted]

One of the mirror repeater lamps on my R170 has a crack in it - probably from a stone.
I've finally got a pair of 'crystal' ones to replace them, but they appear to be screwed in from inside the mirror shell.
I'm guessing that I have to remove the mirroe glass to get at the screws - the manual says to take it to the dealer.
Has anyone done this before?

It is easier to take it off.

Prise off cover on inside from the top, unplug the connector, take out the 3 screws. Mirror is off.

Press glass in at the bottom, and you will see a wire clip along the top, unhook this and the glass will lift and come out, from this point on it is just about removing the screws to release the cover
