They pop just right off.

i was hoping for a more detailed description, my reflectors popped right off but there is still someone out there who shows how to do it. i just don't want to break anything getting these things off.

here is the picture of your mirror ... you can see 4 points on the mirror frame where the cover connects to it ... get some right tools and it will pop right off

Basically you pry off the bottom off first because the top two prongs near the inner edge may break off. But it is really easy to come off.

Thanks, i got them off today, it felt like it might break but your right if you pop off the bottom ones first then pulled on the top of the cover it pops off. I just didn't want to break them.
