Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

To change the bulbs on your vanity mirrors, open it up, take a flat-bladed screwdriver, there's a little notch right here, it's the same for both sides, also the same in the passenger side, and you just kind of gently pry this up.

Take the lens off. These bulbs are working, but we're going to show you how to take them out. Take some small, needle nose pliers, and just gentle grab on the bulb and pull it right out. It's a mini wedge bulb, a T 1.5.

To replace it, we'll just put it right back in. It usually slides in with the wedge facing vertically. We'll just slide it right into place. Put the cover back on. It's got two tabs. Push it right into place. Snap in.

It's the same for this one and the same for the passenger side mirror.

Why you Should Replace Not Restore Headlights

See why replacing your cloudy headlights with new ones is always better than refinishing them Why should you replace your headlights and not clean or refinish them? Three reasons: It's a simple fix, it increases visibility, and it enhances the overall look of your vehicle. Headlights are made from a polycarbonate plastic that can be damaged by UV rays from the sun or suffer pitting caused by road debris light salt and rocks. If you look closely at an old set of headlights, you'll see that the lens is full of micro-cracks. This is called crazing. This crazing, along with pinning, will turn your headlights from crystal clear to hazy yellow and it cuts the output in half, making it very difficult to see at night. It also makes your car look old and dated. With parts from 1AAuto.com and our how-to videos, you can make your vehicle look new and stay safe on the road.
