anyway... so i moved both mirrors so they're facing all the way up... top all the way back and bottom all the way out... then i used my hands...no tools... to pry the corners closest to the doors...

then take out the 4 screws:


after you take out the 4 screws, the 2 housings will peel away from each other...
there's 3 tabs... one on the bottom and two on the sides closest to the car...then you'll see this:


take out the bulb from the housing and replace:


here's the units i replaced those with... (got them off amazon and the title was: 194 168 T10 Wedege SMD High Power LED HYPER WHITE BULBS Dome Lights 12V)


here's the finished result:
