removing the lightbulbs from the rearview on a 6th gen
yeah man, i've changed mine...its kinda hard, but you have to remove them with needle nose pliers...grab the bulb and be gentle as you dont wanna grab to hard and burst the bulb, then you'll never get it out. Just grab the bulb with the needle nose pliers and pull down...notice how you take it out, by that i mean in which the bulbs contact wire faces...if you put the new ones in the wrong way, they wont work. goodluck man!
^^^^^use that way to get out bulbs^^^^^
Put the new bulb in same way it came back out.
To get the covers off b4 the bulbs stick something in like a small flat head screwdriver in the whole on one of the sides(not sure if its on the inside or the outside i forget from when i changed mine) and then it should pop out

On the rearview mirror there are tiny little holes, just large enough to get a small screw driver wedged in on the outsides of the light covers. Stick your screw driver into the hole as far as you can go, and pry it out. Those covers are a lot larger inside the rearview then you think and it will take a little bit of force, but you won't break it.
After you pop the housing out, it will be very easy to just reach in and pull the bulb straight out, and then you can replace everything the same way.

it took me about 20 minutes of prying and pulling on my little screwdriver before I said **** it, I have a spare rearview to steal stuff from if i break any parts. Then when I was really forcing those covers, I saw exactly how large they are and how much force they actually needed to pop out!!!
