Default Replacing mirror turn signal bulb

The turn signal bulb on the passenger side stopped working, I was wondering if anyone knows what size bulb I need and how I would go about disassembling the mirror.

I found a post about tilting the mirror all the way down and trying to pull it off. I gave it a try and couldn't get it off. Maybe I'm not using enough force? I'm a little bit concerned about breaking the mirror or any components inside.

Thanks for the help!

Check out the "Replace Puddle Lamps" in the DIY sticky thread, there's a video showing the mirror disassembly. The mirror is just a friction fit, but yes, it can be a tight fit and sound horrible coming off. If I recall, when I changed my puddle lamps I slowly worked the mirror from several sides and eventually it came out. The video makes it look easy, but I think its a bit more effort than that typically.
