Bricor, take a close look at this YouTube video which shows what I believe you are after - Dave

I would highly recommend watching the above youtube clip. I fitted new dynamic turn signals to my door mirrors by following the above which shows how the mirror covers unclip. Just go careful as they are very delicate and quite flimsy once you start to remove them. I managed to do it without breaking anything, so it's not that difficult.

I've just fitted some dynamic turn indicators today and the video was very useful. A couple of things to note, first is that the screws are Torx T10, not pozi/cross head type, and second, the units I bought off eBay just plugged into the connector that is pulled out of the original light fitting. No soldering required. I went for the smoked glass effect ones, to blend in with the black mirror caps when not lit up. The units were 30 GBP approximately, and well worth the effort as I think the originals are a bit pants.

Hi, did you manage to get the glass out by removing the top clips first ?

Looking good, Alan...do you have a link to said indicators?
Also, by doing this are you voiding the electrical side of the warranty in any way?

Hi Bricor2011.
Yes, just reach behind the glass with a flat screwdriver and flick the two top clips while applying some moderate force with your fingers. The top will just pop out and the bottom ones just unclip while lifting the glass. It was unnerving on the first mirror, but nothing to it on the second.
Hi Weasel
These are the ones I ordered from eBay

I can't see how it can void any warranty as I've not modified anything, only replaced a bulb. Just pull up the grommet and pop out of the old light connector using a small flat head screwdriver.
The first one took me half an hour being cautious ...... the second was five minutes.
