Step 1 - Pop the mirror off by tilting it all the way up from the electronic controls and use a plastic trim tool to pry off.

Step 2 - Locate the 4 screws shown here to remove black gloss shroud from mirror.



Step 3 - Remove an additional two screw that attach mirror cover to lighting strip.





Step 4 - Pull mirror cover away from vehicle the only tabs still holding it on are the 3 at the bottom of the mirror cover that I broke when pulling off.





Step 5 - Attach lighting strip to new Carbon Fiber mirror cover with screws. Re attach mirror cover to mirror assembly ensuring all clips engage. Re attach mirror connections and electronics.

When you removed the mirror glass, do you pry from the bottom center? I see many people recommending to use a wide pry tool and carefully pry until there is a pop sound from the clips releasing. What method did you use for removal?
