One of my rear view mirror lights burned out and i wanna replace it, but i can't find my manual, and i've never done it before. Can someone help me figure it out?

Pry out the lenses and they pop right out.

Awesome! Never thought of that? Before I tear it apart and break it, do you know what bulb it takes? Is it the same as the T/A door panel lights, cause I got the L.E.D.s for them?

LEDs for sure. The autozone red bulbs fade especially if your a DD and work/drive mostly at night, plus they melted my lense and cracked the mirror when I did a speaker change one day.
