|  Replacing Wing Mirror Indicator Lens Hi Does anyone know if it's an easy job to replace the Wing Mirror Indicator Lens. I cracked mine this morning (passenger side) on a BMW and typically came out worse off. However I've managed to source one locally but have no idea if its a big or small job to take apart and replace. Any guidance would be hugely appreciated. Thanks guys Ed |

| Do a search in this forum, IIRC, someone in the UK was able to replace the outside rear mirror indicator lens.

| I tried that approach. They wanted £48 for the trouble, and whilst it's not major money I figured I would have a go myself. Having dismantled half of the mechanism back from the glass and having hit a fairly major obstacle, I'm thinking I should have stumped up the cash. |

|  Please share your expertise and photos for every one's benefit. I have a small crack in one. Chances are I leave it as is, but I'd be interested in the part cost and what's involved to change. Thanks!
