Another silly question from the old man
 
Can some enlighten this old man on how to remove the Vanity mirrors on the visors?? I ordered a new set But can't figure out the way to remove the old ones without busting them up. If I can learn to remove the old ones it should make it easy to install the new ones without breaking them. I'm working on a 1998 Blazer LT 4x4.
THANKS.

Oh, without busting them? Never mind.

I think I removed the whole visor (3 screws), brought it inside, and eventually just pried at it until the front popped off. But now the mirror slides around in the frame so I assume I did something wrong.

There has to be a simple way to remove them. I see used ones in good shape on Ebay. I guess holding your mouth just right might be it.
Anyone else to help both of us now??????

Use a small screwdriver and pry off the light lens.

You'll see two plastic tabs, top and bottom, on each side under where the lens were.

Pry these tabs and the mirror frame & glass will come off.

Use a bit of vasoline on the new hinges to help keep them from breaking.

Thanks for this info I went out & that worked perfect. The vasoline thing is a great tip.
Second question is how do the light bulbs come out?? I tried pulling them tried to yurn them I finally broke one. So now I;m stumped again.
Thanks

Glad to help.

When I replaced mine the bulbs were still good so I just left them as they were.

Both mine on the drivers side are burned out, passenger side is good. Maybe someone has had to change them
Thanks for your help.
