side mirror help

im workin on replacing my puddle lamps in my 2002 taurus, i think i already broke the lil clear plastic piece on the bottom:banghead: :banghead: i was wondering how to get the glass off? do you need to unbolt the mirror and get at it from the inside? i will be wiring in an led is why i ask. thanks for the help:icon16:

I know on the 99, the mirror glass just snaps off and on,, be very careful... For some reason, the wire for the heat grid came undone on my 99, I tried to be careful, but still cracked the glass when taking it off, new one heated costs around $45, what a rip.

I recently removed the mirror lens from mine. I pressed the mirror as far to the side as I could and used a small to medium size screw driver to pry a couple of the plastic retainer clips open, releasing the mirror. It takes some patience and fooling around but you can safely do it.
