Like to replace them or remove them completely.

I took them off to replace with the smoked ones from OEMPL.US and its super easy. 30 minutes for that and fog light grilles. (I was really careful with the mirrors.

Okay simple version,

1: turn your mirror (glass) as far in as possible
2: pull gently on the corner of the lens to remove it from the housing
3: unplug it
4: remove all the torx bits you see
5: starting from the bottom out pull up and out till the top pops off
6: unplug marker harness
7: remove remaining torx bits (this maybe 6 i don't really remember)
8: reverse

if you have any mechanical skill this takes like 15 min each at absolute most.

I just did this with mine for the 1st time and it was A LOT easier than it is made out to be. I changed both of mine in less than 1/2 hr.

1: turn your mirror (glass) as far in as possible
2: pull gently on the corner of the lens to remove it from the housing
3: unplug it
4: remove all the torx bits you see(3 surronding motor-remove motor)
5: starting from the bottom out pull up and out till the top pops off(if you push mirror housing forward you can grab inside easier)
6: unplug marker harness
7: remove remaining torx bits (this maybe 6 i don't really remember)(Only 2 holding marker)
8: reverse
