The pass. side view mirror lights on my 09 decided to stop working. Don't know if it's loose wires or just burnt out. Anyway, don't see a way to take the lights off.

Anybody have ideas?

Is your car still under warranty? If yes, I'd let the dealer do it. There are a lot of breakable parts in there.

If not, I looked in the manual and it requires several steps.

1) Remove mirror glass, it just pops out, but be careful you don't break it. A search for installing aspherical mirrors should find some instructions

2) Remove mirror upper case (housing). There are a few tabs to be bent with a screw driver. They should be visible after removing mirror glass.

3) there are then 2 screws that mount the lower trim piece (where the light is). Then you will be able to see the wires and the bulb to test.

Good Luck
