    Installation is pretty much exactly the same as removal, except it is fairly hard to locate the metal bracket into the housing..

    Hope that helps..
    Hey matt Got the mirrors last night, in perfect condition, easy to get out, but god what a pain in the neck trying to get them back in the original housings, i notice on the new ones, one of the 4 round lugs was missing to locate the metal part, had to do the same to the originals to get them in, talk about fiddly trying to see behind the mirror when your trying to get them in!

    Yep, they are great to get out but absolutley a massive pain in the arse to get back in.. :( You did the same thing I have one.. I had 2 sets of mirrors, one set that had good housings and cracked outer lips and the other set was the opposite.. :( I just swapped the lips over and am going to get them painted and have new glass made to put in.. I'm just not looking forward to putting the glass back in without scratching the new paint!! :(
    Cheers,
    Matt
